Abstract Congenital Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus with First Presentation as an Adult: A Case Report Background: Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare inherited condition, usually presenting during the first year of life. It is characterized by a renal insensitivity to arginine vasopressin. About 90% of patients are males with X-linked NDI who have mutations in the vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2) gene encoding the vasopressin V2 receptor. Females are typically asymptomatic. Here, we report female case of NDI initially presenting and diagnosed in an adult woman. Clinical Case: A previously well 47-year-old woman of Italian descent underwent an elective laparoscopic repair of an abdominal hernia. Her medical history included obesity and migraine headaches. She was not taking any medications prior to admission. She had a bowel perforation 6 days after surgery, necessitating an emergency right hemicolectomy and small bowel resection. Upon instituting bowel rest with nil per os (NPO), she developed severe hypernatremia (Na+ 163 mmol/L) with polyuria (>6 L/day) and dilute urine (osmolality 174 mmol/kg). Further inquiry revealed that the patient routinely drank at least 10 L/day of fluids throughout her entire adult life. Her family history was remarkable for polydipsia affecting at least additional six people across three generations (including her son, her mother, 3 maternal uncles and 1 nephew). Following administration of desmopressin 1 ug subcutaneously, her urine remained inappropriately dilute (osmolality 160 mmol/kg) with no significant change in urine output (rate 350 mL/h for 3 hours). Her arginine vasopressin level was detectable (3.2 pmol/L, reference range 0.8–3.5 pmol/L), consistent with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Subsequent molecular analysis of the AVPR2 gene, located on chromosome Xq28, confirmed a pathogenic mutation (c.253G>A), consistent with a p.Asp85Asn substitution resulting in decreased binding affinity between the V2 receptor and arginine vasopressin. Thus, X-linked NDI was diagnosed according to the patient’s presentation, compatible family history, and genetic analysis. When she was able to eat and drink ad lib again, a low-salt, low-protein diet along with a trial of a thiazide diuretic were recommended. The patient remained well with 3 years of follow-up. Conclusion: The diagnosis of congenital NDI may be delayed until adulthood because of a relatively mild phenotype and compensatory drinking behavior, so that the disorder will not be clinically apparent until a person is deprived of free water. Men and women alike can be affected by this X-linked dominant condition which should be considered in any polyuric, hypernatremic hospitalized patient.

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is a rare hereditary tubular dysfunction caused mainly by X-linked recessive inheritance of AVPR2 gene mutations. Pathogenic genes are a result of mutations in AVPR2 on chromosome Xq28 and in AQP2 on chromosome 12q13. The clinical manifestations of CNDI include polyuria, compensatory polydipsia, thirst, irritability, constipation, developmental delay, mental retardation, persistent decrease in the specific gravity of urine, dehydration, and electrolyte disorders (hypernatremia and hyperchloremia). Herein, we report a rare case of CNDI caused by an AVPR2 mutation in a 2-year-old Chinese boy who had sustained polyuria, polydipsia, and irritability for more than 20 months. Laboratory examinations showed no obvious abnormality in blood sodium and chloride levels but decreased urine osmolality and specific gravity. Imaging findings were also normal. However, genetic analysis revealed a C > T transition leading to T273M missense mutations in AVPR2. We provided the boy a low-sodium diet and administered oral hydrochlorothiazide and indomethacin for 1 month, after which his clinical symptoms significantly improved. This case report suggests that CNDI is characterized by pathogenic T273M missense mutations alone and expands our understanding of the pathogenesis of CNDI.

Abstract Background Diabetes insipidus (DI) can be a common cause of polydipsia and polyuria. Here, we present a case of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) accompanied with central diabetes insipidus (CDI) secondary to pituitary surgery. Case presentation A 24-year-old Chinese woman came to our hospital with the complaints of polydipsia and polyuria for 6 months. Six months ago, she was detected with pituitary apoplexy, and thereby getting pituitary surgery. However, the water deprivation test demonstrated no significant changes in urine volume and urine gravity in response to fluid depression or AVP administration. In addition, the genetic results confirmed a heterozygous mutation in arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) genes. Conclusions She was considered with CNDI as well as acquired CDI secondary to pituitary surgery. She was given with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg twice a day as well as desmopressin (DDAVP, Minirin) 0.1 mg three times a day. There is no recurrence of polyuria or polydipsia observed for more than 6 months. It can be hard to consider AVPR2 mutation in female carriers, especially in those with subtle clinical presentation. Hence, direct detection of DNA sequencing with AVPR2 is a convenient and accurate method in CNDI diagnosis.
