Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition characterized by excessive thirst and excretion of large amounts of severely diluted urine with reduction of fluid intake having no effect on the concentration of the urine. There are different types of DI each with a different set of causes. The most common type in humans is the neurological form called Central DI (CDI) which involves a deficiency of arginine vasopressin (AVP) also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
