  2. Renal replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_replacement_therapy

    Before implementing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill, multiple organ failure patients was managed by intermittent hemodialysis and the mortality rate was very high. [4] Hemodialysis is effective in clearance and ultrafiltration, but it has deleterious effects on hemodynamic stability. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrogenic_diabetes_insipidus

    Both cause excessive urination (hence the similarity in name), but whereas diabetes insipidus is a problem with the production of antidiuretic hormone (neurogenic diabetes insipidus) or the kidneys' response to antidiuretic hormone (nephrogenic diabetes insipidus), diabetes mellitus causes polyuria via osmotic diuresis, due to the high blood ...

  4. Central diabetes insipidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_diabetes_insipidus

    In order to treat diabetes insipidus, the free water deficit must be restored, the missing hormone must be replaced (if central diabetes insipidus is present), and the underlying ailment must be addressed. [8] The medication desmopressin, an arginine vasopressin analogue, is used to treat central diabetes insipidus. [9]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_insipidus

    Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition characterized by large amounts of dilute urine and increased thirst. [1] The amount of urine produced can be nearly 20 liters per day. [ 1 ] Reduction of fluid has little effect on the concentration of the urine. [ 1 ]

  6. Diabetic nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_nephropathy

    Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease and is a serious complication that affects approximately one quarter of adults with diabetes in the United States. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Affected individuals with end-stage kidney disease often require hemodialysis and eventually kidney transplantation to replace the failed kidney ...

  7. Hemofiltration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemofiltration

    Hemofiltration is sometimes used in combination with hemodialysis, when it is termed hemodiafiltration. Blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a high flux dialyzer, and a high rate of ultrafiltration is used, so there is a high rate of movement of water and solutes from blood to dialysate that must be replaced by substitution fluid that is infused directly into the blood line.

  8. Desmopressin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmopressin

    Desmopressin, sold under the trade name DDAVP among others, is a medication used to treat diabetes insipidus, bedwetting, hemophilia A, von Willebrand disease, and high blood urea levels. [1] In hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease, it should only be used for mild to moderate cases. [ 1 ]

  9. Chlortalidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlortalidone

    Chlortalidone (or other thiazide medication) is a key component of treatment of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs when the kidney is unable to concentrate urine because it has an inadequate response to vasopressin-dependent removal of free water from the renal tubular filtrate.
