Author(s): Sheichi Yasuga*
Objective: The goal of this study is to look at the diagnostic differences between primary polydipsia (PP) and primary pediatric central diabetes insipidus (PCDI) and provide a rough estimate of the prevalence [1].
Method: From January 2014 to December 2018, we gathered data from 27 patients who presented with polyuria and/or polydipsia as their primary complaints in the Department of Pediatrics at Our University Hospital.
Results: 16 patients were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), 5 had CDI, 5 had PP, and 1 had nocturnal enuresis. The approximate annual incidence rate for pediatric CDI was 0.71 per 100,000. Body mass index (BMI), morning urine gravity, 24-hour urine volume and intake volume, and bright spots in the posterior pituitary on an MRI were the diagnostic factors. .. View More»
