Abstract:
A case of transient nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurred in late pregnancy, the first associated with biopsy-proven hepatitis. Five previously reported cases occurred in pregnancy. All six patients demonstrated similar but transient signs, symptoms and laboratory abnormalities suggesting a syndrome peculiar to pregnancy. The characteristics of this syndrome are elevated liver function studies, decreased renal function, hyperuricemia and transient vasopressin-resistant diabetes insipidus.
