Transient diabetes insipidus and preeclampsia
A woman with triplet gestation had polydipsia and polyuria during pregnancy. She subsequently had preeclampsia for which she was delivered. The presumed diabetes insipidus was transient, resolving by postpartum day 5. The association of preeclampsia and diabetes insipidus may be confusing to the practitioner. Careful attention to fluid status and consideration of this abnormality will lead to the best outcome when hypertension is accompanied by polydipsia and polyuria.
