Amelioration of polyuria in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus due to aquaporin‐2 deficiency

Abstract: AQP-2 deficiency in these patients with an early-stop codon is associated with complete unresponsiveness of the collecting duct to vasopressin, implying an indispensable role for AQP-2 in vasopressin antidiuresis. Urinary PGE2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha are elevated, the former being extremely high, apparently due to the extreme vasopressin unresponsiveness. Combination therapy with a combination of a low-salt diet, thiazide and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is partially effective.

“…In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, COX inhibitors are often used in combination with hydrochlorothiazide to ameliorate polyuria (50). The beneficial effect of COX inhibitors is seen in patients with mutations in the arginine-vasopressin receptor 2 gene as well as in the aquaporin-2 water channel gene (51). Whether under this clinical situation EP1, EP3, and/or EP4 receptors are involved needs to be clarified, but we suggest that the same PGE 2 -mediated mechanism may be operable in these patients.…”

“…However, not all patients respond well to diuretic therapy, and those who respond only partially may be the 10% of patients with mutations in their AQP2 gene and not the 90% with mutations in their V2R gene (49). Since diuretic therapy also induces a mild state of dehydration, it is possible that the dehydration increases water reabsorption in patients with normal AQP2 by an increase in NOS.…”

“…The importance of PGE 2 in the regulation of water metabolism is further signified by the association between altered urinary PGE 2 excretion and conditions of perturbed urinary concentrating ability (18,30,41). In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) caused either by mutation in the AVPR2 or AQP2 genes, hypercalcemia, or lithium treatment, there is a peripheral resistance to ADH (24,29).…”

“…In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) caused either by mutation in the AVPR2 or AQP2 genes, hypercalcemia, or lithium treatment, there is a peripheral resistance to ADH (24,29). Patients suffer from severe polyuria and hyposmolar urine in the presence of normal or high plasma levels of ADH, whereas urinary PGE 2 excretion is increased (18,30,41,47). These observations have led to the use of COX inhibitors to decrease urine volume in NDI patients (18,26,37,45).…”
