Polyuria is the excretion of dilute urine in excess of 3 liters per 24 hours, and results from one of three fundamental pathophysiologic mechanisms. The first is a deficiency, usually partial, of osmotically regulated vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) secretion and is termed "cranial diabetes insipidus" (CDI), otherwise known as central, hypothalamic, or neurogenic diabetes insipidus. 2, record 1, English, - neurogenic%20diabetes%20insipidus

Le diabète insipide (DI) peut être défini comme une maladie comportant une polyurie hypotonique et une polydipsie. Celle-ci peut résulter soit d’une carence en HAD [hormone antidiurétique] soit d’une absence de réponse de la part du tubule rénal à une stimulation normale par l’HAD. Cette définition permet d’emblée de distinguer les diabètes insipides d’origine centrale et ceux qui sont d’origine périphérique (ou néphrogénique). 1, record 1, French, - diab%C3%A8te%20insipide%20central
