  • Title: Evaluation of a modified water-deprivation test for diagnosis of polyuric disorders in dogs.
    Author: Mulnix JA, Rijnberk A, Hendriks HJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1976 Dec 15; 169(12):1327-30. PubMed ID: 1033931.
    Abstract:
    A modified water-deprivation test was performed on 12 polyuric and 4 clinically normal dogs. Immediately after maximal urine osmolality had been achieved with water deprivation, antidiuretic hormone was injected to test further renal concentrating ability. The test provided accurate diagnosis of severe hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus in 3 dogs, partial diabetes insipidus in 2 dogs, and primary (psychogenic) polydipsia in 2 dogs. Five polyuric dogs with hyperadreno corticism had a response to the modified water-deprivation test similar to that of dogs with partial diabetes indipidus.
