Therefore, this code may be out of date. The 2009 version of ICD-9-CM 253.5 can be accessed here. A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiology of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the PITUITARY, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst. Deficiency of vasopressin secretion from the posterior pituitary gland. Clinical manifestations include extreme thirst, polydipsia, and reduced serum osmolality. Potential etiologies include CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; post-neurosurgical states; HYPOTHALAMIC NEOPLASMS; PITUITARY NEOPLASMS; CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM INFECTIONS; PITUITARY APOPLEXY; CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS; granulomatous diseases (including SARCOIDOSIS); and other conditions. The disorder may also be inherited as an autosomal or recessive trait.
