Details for phenotype: X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

EndoNet ID: ENP00501

Name

X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

General information

This phenotype is pathologic
  • Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare inherited disease. The kidney produces enormous quantities of hypotonic urine. Thus, patients with NDI have dramatic polyuria and polydipsia, and any episode of additional water loss (fever, diarrhoea, vomiting) may lead to potential life threatening dehydration and hypernatraemia, especially in infants and toddlers.
