Treatment of diabetes insipidus

There are always various embarrassing little situations in the body, such as having to run to the toilet frequently, which is really embarrassing when there are many people around, but if these little situations occur frequently, they should attract everyone's attention. If the amount of urine increases and the frequency is too frequent, it is very likely diabetes insipidus. Many people mistakenly think that they drink too much water, but not everyone drinks too much water all the time.

So what are the obvious reactions of diabetes insipidus? What treatment methods should be taken once you have diabetes insipidus? What are the more appropriate medicines? Is diabetes insipidus difficult to treat? This is the biggest question in the mind of every professional toilet runner.

The main clinical manifestations of diabetes insipidus are polyuria, polydipsia and polydipsia, and the onset is often acute. 1. Hormone replacement therapy (1) The effect of vasopressin solution can only last for 3-6 hours and requires multiple injections per day, which is inconvenient for long-term use. It is mainly used for diabetes insipidus in patients with brain injury or in the operating room, and is injected subcutaneously. (2) Tannic acid vasopressin injection is a long-acting diabetes insipidus injection (5U/ml), which is injected intramuscularly. The specific dosage varies from person to person and should be shaken well before use. Be careful to avoid water poisoning caused by excessive dosage. (3) Desmopressin is a synthetic vasopressin analog that is administered as a nasal spray or drops twice a day. This drug has a strong antidiuretic effect and few side effects. It is currently an ideal drug for the treatment of diabetes insipidus. The drug is also available in injection form for subcutaneous injection, and in recent years there are also oral preparations, which are more convenient to use. 2. Other antidiuretic drugs (1) Hydrochlorothiazide 2 to 3 times a day can reduce urine volume by about half. Its mechanism of action may be due to increased sodium excretion in urine, sodium deficiency in the body, increased reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney, and reduced primary urine reaching the distal tubule, thus reducing urine volume. Long-term use of hydrochlorothiazide may cause potassium deficiency, hyperuricemia, etc., and potassium salt should be supplemented appropriately. (2) Carbamazepine can stimulate AVP secretion and reduce urine volume, but its effect is not as strong as chlorpropamide.

Through the introduction of the above content, we can understand that diabetes insipidus is a relatively common symptom of polyuria, and the disease usually comes on quickly. There are many ways to treat it, and hormone and drug therapy are both effective. By understanding this relevant knowledge, you can correctly judge your own physical condition and seek medical treatment in time without delaying treatment. You won’t be confused anymore.
