Parathyroid adenoma presenting as dysphagia and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

Bartter Syndrome Type 1 Presenting as Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus

Bartter syndrome (BS) type 1 (OMIM #601678) is a hereditary salt-losing renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, polyuria, recurrent vomiting, and growth retardation. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations of the SLC12A1 gene, encoding the furosemide-sensitive Na-K-Cl cotransporter. Recently, a phenotypic variability has been...

Mesalazine associated nephrogenic diabetes insipidus presenting as weight loss.

Nephrotoxicity in association with 5-aminosalicylic acid therapy is well recognised. In this patient the nephrotoxicity only became apparent after severe weight loss had occurred in association with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The patient aged 26 with ulcerative colitis received resin coated mesalazine (Asacol) 1200 mg/day and lost 12 kg in weight over a four month period, only complaining ...

Suprasellar ectopic pituitary adenoma presenting as cranial diabetes insipidus.

We describe the occurrence of a supracellar ectopic pituitary adenoma in a 34 year old woman who presented with cranial diabetes insipidus and subsequently developed galactorrhoea-amenorrhoea. The tumour was demonstrated by both contrast computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium enhancement and was confirmed at operation. Histological examination showed that the su...

[nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus].

In spite of its rare incidence, the inherited renal tubular disorder nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) has in the past 10 years attracted the attention of a varied group of medical doctors and basic scientists. With the identification of the two genes involved in NDI, namely the vasopressin type-2 receptor (V2R) and the aquaporin-2 water channel (AQP2) genes, the identification of a large nu...
