Central diabetes insipidus is a severe neuroendocrine disease associated with a decrease in the secretion of vasopressin and resulting in the release of excess amounts of unconcentrated urine. Excessive fluid loss in diabetes insipidus can lead to dehydration of the body and a disturbance in the electrolyte composition of the blood, which, if untreated, can be life-threatening to the patient. Treatment of the disease is based on replacement therapy with desmopressin and is aimed primarily at reducing the severity of symptoms of the disease. At the same time, adherence to an adequate drinking regime corresponding to fluid loss is of great importance for maintaining an adequate water-electrolyte balance in central diabetes insipidus. This article will describe a clinical case of a long course of central diabetes insipidus, which for many years was compensated only by the consumption of large volumes of water by the patient, the decompensation of which occurred with the addition of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
