compensate for fluid loss by drinking large amounts of water (polydipsia). DI can occur when there has
been damage or injury to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus as a result of head trauma, tumor or an
illness such as meningitis. This damage interrupts the ADH production, storage and release causing the
excessive urination and thirst.
