A Clinical Feature of Hyperlipidemia in Patients with Central Diabetes Insipidus

摘要

In this study, we analyzed plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels before and after treatment with 1- desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) in subjects with partial and complete central diabetes insipidus (DI) in order to determine how a shortage and supplement of this hormone affect plasma lipid metabolism. The subjects consisted of 6 patients with partial and 6 with complete central DI. After treatment with DDAVP through nasal cavity, plasma total cholesterol (TC) level did not decrease either in complete or partial form.
