  • Title: Diabetes insipidus: a postpartum complication.
    Author: Tulandi T, Yusuf N, Posner BI.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1987 Sep; 70(3 Pt 2):492-5. PubMed ID: 3498136.
    Abstract:
    Sheehan's syndrome and diabetes insipidus were diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman seven months after postpartum bleeding with a short duration of hypotension. The diagnosis of diabetes insipidus was established by the inability to concentrate urine during water deprivation and the marked increase in urinary osmolality after administration of 1-Desamino-8-D-arginine-vasopressin (DDAVP). Obstetricians should be aware of diabetes insipidus as a postpartum complication.
