Diabetes Insipidus is a rare disorder caused by the kidney’s inability to retain water. There are four different types of diabetes Insipidus; Central, Nephrogenic, Dipsogenic and Gestational. High concentrations of sodium and potassium are characteristic of all types of Diabetes Insipidus. Treatment with Diuril demonstrates a decrease in saluresis, i.e the excretion of sodium and chloride, within approximately eight hours following its initial dose, and a decrease in kaliuresis, the excretion of potassium ions, approximately fifteen hours following its initial dose.<ref name = "ten"> Crawford, J.D., Kennedy, G.C., and Hill, L.E.
