概要 Adipsic diabetes insipidus (ADI) is characterized by central diabetes insipidus and an impaired thirst response to hyperosmolality, leading to hypernatremia. Hyponatremia observed in patients with ADI has been considered a complication of desmopressin therapy. Herein, we present a case of impaired thirst sensation and arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion without desmopressin therapy, in which hyponatremia developed due to preserved non-osmotic AVP secretion. A 53-year-old woman with hypopituitarism, receiving hydrocortisone and levothyroxine, experienced hyponatremia three times over 5 months without desmopressin treatment. The first hyponatremic episode (120 mEq/L) was complicated by a urinary tract infection with a plasma AVP level of 33.8 pg/mL. Subsequent hyponatremia episodes occurred after administration of antipsychotic (124 mEq/L) and spontaneously (125 mEq/L) with unsuppressed plasma AVP levels (1.3 and 1.8 pg/mL, respectively). Hypertonic saline infusion did not affect AVP or copeptin levels. Regulating water intake using a sliding scale based on body weight prevented the recurrence of hyponatremia without the use of desmopressin. Except during infection, plasma AVP levels (1.3 ± 0.4 pg/mL) were not significantly correlated with serum sodium levels (rs = -0.04, p = 0.85). In conclusion, we present a unique case of impaired thirst sensation and AVP secretion in which hyponatremia developed without desmopressin therapy. Preserved non-osmotic AVP secretion, possibly stimulated by glucocorticoid deficiency, may contribute to the development of hyponatremia in patients with ADI.
