AbstractObjectivesCongenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare hereditary disorder which is characterized by unresponsiveness to arginine vasopressin (AVP) in collecting ducts and leads to polyuria and polydipsia. The wide clinical spectrum of congenital NDI can cause difficulties in early diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate clinical prognosis of children with congenital NDI in long-term period.MethodsNineteen children with congenital NDI followed up in Pediatric Nephrology Department were enrolled to the study. This study is a single-center retrospective study, which reports clinical follow-up and genetic results of children with congenital NDI.ResultsPresenting symptoms of patients were mostly dehydration and fever due to polyuria and polydipsia. Four male patients had bilateral nonobstructive hydroureteronephrosis (HUN) and neurogenic bladder which requires clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). One patient had intracranial calcification which is a rarely seen complication in congenital NDI due to recurrent hypernatremic dehydration and severe brain dehydration. The causative mutations were identified in all patients. The identified mutations in six of them (31.6%) were hemizygous mutations in AVPR2 gene and homozygous mutations of AQP2 gene in the rest 13 cases (68.4%). More than that, four of these mutations (two in AVPR2 and two in AQP2) were novel mutations. Noncompliance with the treatments is associated with high risk of morbidity due to neurogenic bladder and chronic kidney disease (CKD).ConclusionsThe prognosis of congenital NDI is good when diagnosis can be made early and treatment is started immediately. Genetic counseling and prenatal testing for hereditary diseases are recommended especially in regions with relatively higher rates of consanguineous marriages.

Abstract Background Diabetes insipidus (DI) can be a common cause of polydipsia and polyuria. Here, we present a case of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) accompanied with central diabetes insipidus (CDI) secondary to pituitary surgery. Case presentation A 24-year-old Chinese woman came to our hospital with the complaints of polydipsia and polyuria for 6 months. Six months ago, she was detected with pituitary apoplexy, and thereby getting pituitary surgery. However, the water deprivation test demonstrated no significant changes in urine volume and urine gravity in response to fluid depression or AVP administration. In addition, the genetic results confirmed a heterozygous mutation in arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) genes. Conclusions She was considered with CNDI as well as acquired CDI secondary to pituitary surgery. She was given with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg twice a day as well as desmopressin (DDAVP, Minirin) 0.1 mg three times a day. There is no recurrence of polyuria or polydipsia observed for more than 6 months. It can be hard to consider AVPR2 mutation in female carriers, especially in those with subtle clinical presentation. Hence, direct detection of DNA sequencing with AVPR2 is a convenient and accurate method in CNDI diagnosis.

Abstract Background and Objectives: Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by renal inability to concentrate urine. Establishing the genetic diagnosis appears particularly important to NDI for early detection and differential diagnosis.Method: We utilized a Chinese multicenter registry to investigate genotype and phenotype in children with NDI from 2014 to 2019. The structural locations of the pathogenic mutations from this study and the literature, as well as population variants retried from gnomAD were analyzed. Results: A total of 10 boys from 9 families carried mutations in AVPR2 (8/10) or AQP2 (2/10). Another 7 relatives of the families were diagnosed by sequencing for partial or subclinical NDI. Patients presented with dehydration, polyuria-polydipsia, and severe hypernatremia with a median age at diagnosis of 1.0 month (IQR 0.16, 18). Protein structural analysis revealed a notable clustering of diagnostic mutations in the transmembrane regions of AVPR2, and enrichment of diagnostic mutations by autosomal dominant inheritance (AD) in the C terminal region of AQP2. The pathogenic mutations are significantly more likely to be buried inside the domain comparing the population variants. Through structural analysis and in silico prediction, the eight mutations identified in this study were considered as presumably disease causative. The most common treatments were thiazide diuretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Emergency treatment of hypernatremic dehydration in neonates should not choose the isotonic saline as a rehydration fluid.Conclusion: Genetic analysis presumably confirmed the diagnosis of NDI in every patient of the studied cohort. A plea of early identifying NDI confirmed by phenotype and genotype, and consequently optimize the treatment.
