Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus is caused by either a deficiency in ADH production (neurogenic)or impaired renal response to ADH (nephrogenic).ADH excess is characteristic of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.ADH replacement therapy is a treatment for neurogenic diabetes insipidus.Water deprivation would result in increased ADH secretion and further augment dehydration associated with diabetes insipidus.
