Diabetes insipidus - Causes. Causes of diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a chemical called vasopressin (AVP), which is also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). AVP is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland until needed. The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that controls mood and appetite.
The life expectancy of canine patients with diabetes insipidus varies. If the diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of ADH production (not as a result of a brain tumor), then proper treatment leads to a normal life expectancy. If that lack of production is caused by a brain tumor; however, then the prognosis is very guarded.
