Les malades atteints de diabète insipide néphrogénique héréditaire excrètent de grandes quantités d'urines diluées. Les tubules collecteurs rénaux sont résistants à l'action de l'hormone antidiurétique (arginine-vasopressine, AVP) et le mécanisme de concentration des urines est atteint.

OBS

La fonction principale de l'AVP est de faciliter la concentration urinaire. Le mécanisme mis en jeu nécessite des activités séquentielles et interactives qui prennent place dans la médullaire rénale.
