Abstract excerpt
In congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, the renal collecting ducts are resistant to the antidiuretic action of arginine vasopressin or to its antidiuretic analog 1-deamino[8-D-arginine] vasopressin (dDAVP). This is a rare, but now well described entity secondary to either mutations in the A...
