The cause is the insufficiency of a hormone (vasopressin) produced by the brain that directs the kidney for water retention. As there is a loss of too much water, as an effect, one might become thirsty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the worst-case scenario, an individual may pass up to 30 litres of urine per day. Untreated people may end up <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-care\/dehydration-due-to-diarrheal-diseases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">having dehydration<\/a>, eventually, into a coma due to the concentration of salts in the blood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>What are the symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus?<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is nothing wrong with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/diseases-prevention\/low-glucose-level-in-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blood glucose level of people with this condition<\/a>.
