What are the causes of CDI?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5There are many different causes for each of the four main types of DI. CDI is usually idiopathic (no known cause), but can also result from a variety of known disorders such as tumors, head trauma, and granulomas that involve the pituitary and hypothalamus.
Related QuestionsIs it possible that CDI causes mental problems because of disruption of hormones?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4far as we know, CDI does not cause any type of mental disorder or disturbance. However, if it develops in infancy and results in prolonged episodes of sever unrecognized dehydration, the latter could result in permanent brain damage and mental retardation.
Related QuestionsI have read somewhere that CDI causes infantile growth of the genitals. Is this true?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5CDI does not cause infantile genitals. However, some of the diseases that cause CDI in childhood can interfere with normal sexual development.

Related QuestionsWhat is my life expectancy with CDI?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4If your CDI and hypothyroidism are fully treated, they should not interfere with your fertility. They also should not affect your life expectancy nor have any effect on other medications that you may be taking. However, the disease that apparently caused your CDI and hypothyroidism could affect any or all of these things depending on what kind of tumor it was, how it was treated, and so forth. I have CDI and am having problems getting pregnant; I do not have normal menstrual cycles.
Related QuestionsIs the CDI the reason why I cannot seem to get pregnant?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4CDI itself does not interfere with the ability to get pregnant and have normal children. However, the eosinophilic granuloma that probably caused your CDI may also have destroyed other pituitary hormones that are necessary for fertility. That has probably happened if you do not have normal menstrual periods. It is not necessarily abnormal for a girl of 16 to have irregular periods, particularly if she is very active and/or underweight.

Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin TypesA: The term "ichthyosis" refers to a group of disorders caused by a genetic defect which may have been spontaneous (due to a mutation of a gene) or passed on through family inheritance. The skin's natural shedding process is slowed or inhibited and, in some forms of ichthyosis, the production of skin cells is too rapid.Related Questions
Vulvodynia: Vulvar Pain Clinics: FAQ's Vestibulitis, Vestibu...The precise cause of Vulvodynia is unknown. Some of the theories on causality include: a viral, fungal or bacterial infection; an allergic response to an environmental irritant; an autoimmune response to the body’s own chemistry; trauma; or the result of pelvic floor muscle instability. There is no clear connection of Vulvodynia to sexually transmitted disease as many of the young women affected are not yet sexually active.Related Questions

In some cases, the fetus is inviable due to chromosomal or placental abnormalities. Some studies suggest that because these abnormalities are more common in older women, Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs more often in mothers of advanced age.Related Questions

Can CDI be cured or could it go away?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5There is no nutritional therapy that is known to help CDI, although a low-sodium diet (30-50 mg sodium/day for children; 500-600 mg sodium/day for adults) will reduce the volume of urine produced. There is no known cure for CDI, and it sometimes goes away, but only in a few patients when they get older (over 40 years).

Related QuestionsWill the children of the patient be born suffering from or get sick with CDI?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4CDI can result from at least two kinds of genetic mutations. The most common one affects both males and females and can be transmitted from father to son, or father to daughter. On average, about half the children will be affected. The other type of familial CDI is due to a mutation on the x-chromosome. It affects only males and cannot be passed from father to son.
Related QuestionsHow high is the possibility that my children will pass on CDI to their children?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4It sounds as though you have the autosomal dominant form of familial pituitary DI (adFPDI). If so, your affected children have a 50-50 chance of passing the disease to each of their children. If the genetic mutation responsible for the adFPDI in your family has not already been determined, you should have genetic analysis performed because the information will enable your children to have their children tested at birth (or even before) to find out if they will also get CDI.
Related QuestionsWhat risks does my CDI cause for my baby during pregnancy?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4Neither CDI or dDAVP treatment is risky for the fetus. As far as we know, dDAVP is completely safe during pregnancy. It has not been associated with any significant increase in spontaneous abortions or fetal malformations. The only risk is water intoxication, but that is no greater than in any other DI patient and can be avoided by remembering to drink only when you are truly thirsty.
Related QuestionsWhat is the treatment of CDI in post-partum women?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4The treatment of CDI in the post-partum state is essentially the same as in other conditions provided the patient is conscious and able to take fluids by mouth. DDAVP may be given by nasal spray, tablets, or injection. If CDI is due to Sheehan's syndrome (pituitary necrosis), it may also be necessary to treat anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. In any case, water balance should be monitored closely until it is clear that the patient's thirst and fluid intake are regulated appropriately.

Related QuestionsWhat is the treatment for CDI?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 3CDI is treated with dDAVP, a synthetic (manmade) form of the natural antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. If another disease causes the DI it is treated separately. The method of treatment depends on what that disease is. It can be surgery, radiation, or drugs.
Related QuestionsHow does CDI affect other body systems?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5CDI does not affect any body system except urine production by the kidney. When other systems are affected, it is due to the underlying disease that also caused the CDI.
Related QuestionsIs there a need for extra fluids in patients with CDI during or after surgery?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5There is no need for extra fluid during or after surgery if dDAVP is administered to prevent excessive water loss by the kidneys. In fact, extra fluid would be hazardous in this situation since the dDAVP would prevent normal excretion of the excess water. If dDAVP is not given during and after the surgery, extra fluid should be give to compensate for the loss. The amount that is required depends on the rate of urine output.
Related QuestionsCan a microadenoma in the pituitary cause CDI or does it have to be a macro?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5Microadenomas do not cause CDI. However, infiltrative diseases of the pituitary, which can mimic micros on MRI, can. Given your symptoms, you should have tests to determine whether you do, indeed, have CDI.
Related QuestionsIf I have CDI or NDI and the symptoms doesn't bother me, why should I take treatment?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5The principle reason is to reduce the risk of severe dehydration and provide greater freedom to participate in activities in which it is difficult, if not impossible, to drink and urinate frequently. My friend, aged 55, recently had a cystic pituitary tumor removed. In the following months, she has deteriorated, with symptoms such as signs of brain damage, thirst, very sleepy, incoherent speech, incontinent, and eyes not functioning properly.
