Who is at highest risk for Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus ?
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is rare. Congenital diabetes insipidus is present at birth as a result of an inherited defect that usually affects men, although women can pass the gene on to their children.
Most commonly, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus develops because of other reasons. This is called an acquired disorder. Factors that can trigger the acquired form of this condition include:
Blockage in the urinary tract High calcium levels Low potassium levels Use of certain drugs (lithium, demeclocycline, amphotericin B) </s>
