Central diabetes insipidus is an uncommon or rare condition, due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and may be total or partial. Primary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is rare in dogs. Secondary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus accounts for the majority of cases of canine polyuria/polydipsia. The cardinal clinical sign of central diabetes insipidus is polyuria/polydipsia with hyposthenuria. Primary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus also causes significant polyuria/polydipsia and hyposthenuria. The polyuria/polydipsia in secondary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus may vary from mild to severe. The diagnosis of central diabetes insipidus or primary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is accomplished through ruling out other causes of polyuria/polydipsia. When the differential diagnoses have been narrowed down to central diabetes insipidus, primary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and primary polydipsia, a water deprivation test may be considered to differentiate between these conditions.
