title: The renin-aldosterone system in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and the influence of hydrochlorothiazide and indomethacin.
abstract: Three generations of a family with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus were studied. Treatment of a male infant patient with hydrochlorothiazide normalized the serum sodium concentration and improved the clinical condition, but did not influence the polyuria. Although indomethacin alone was without long-term effect, combined therapy with hydrochlorothiazide and indomethacin regulated serum sodium better than hydrochlorothiazide alone. The renin-aldosterone system was not activated in healthy carriers or patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus neither in infancy during severe hypernatremic dehydration nor in adult patients.
