A disease characterized by excretion of large amount of severely diluted urine, which cannot be reduced when fluid intake is reduced. It is generally related to a tumor or insult to the pituitary gland, where the hormonal signals the pituitary gives to the kidneys break down, and the kidneys do not conserve water, but express all water as urine. This is a rather rare disease
a problem with water balance in the body causing excess urine production and great thirst, due to pituitary-hypothalamic damage in the brain Ordinary diabetes, which has the same symptoms, is due to insufficient insulin production by the pancreas

Injections of synthetic vasopressin are effective if the hormone is lacking but not if the response is absent. Disorders of the hypothalamus are one cause of diabetes insipidus
A condition in which blurred vision and a central scotomo (blind spot) appear in one eye It is treated with the hormone vasopressin
