Abstract

Recent data show that patients with a diagnosis of diabetes insipidus (DI) are coming to harm. Here we give the rationale for a name change to arginine vasopressin deficiency and resistance for central and nephrogenic DI, respectively.

Keywords: arginine vasopressin deficiency; arginine vasopressin resistance; diabetes insipidus; nephrogenic; pituitary.
