Abstract

A 30 months old boy presented with polyuria and polydipsia since 6 months of age. There was no family history of similar illness. Investigations revealed serum hyperosmolarity and normal renal function. Diagnostic findings correlated with nephrogenic diabetis insipidus (NDI) as the patient was non-responsive to vasopressin in water deprivation test. MRI of brain was normal and ultrasonogram of kidney, ureter, and urinary bladder was normal and other investigations showed no abnormality.
