DIABETES INSIPIDUS. DIFFICULTIES IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT; USE OF SYNTHETIC LYSINE-8 VASOPRESSIN IN PATIENTS INTOLERANT OF OTHER THERAPY.

Frequent errors in the diagnosis of diabetes insipidus arise from (1) failure to produce an adequate stimulus for release of antidiuretic hormone, and (2) failure to appreciate acute or chronic changes in renal function that may obscure test results. Properly timed determination of body weight, urine volume and serum and urine osmolarity during the course of water deprivation, and comparison of these values with those obtained after administration of exogenous vasopressin, eliminates most diagnostic errors. In four patients who had experienced local and systemic reactions to other exogenous forms of vasopressin, diabetes insipidus was satisfactorily controlled by administration of synthetic lysine-8 vasopressin in nasal spray. A fifth patient was also treated satisfactorily with this preparation.

Studies in cerebral metabolism.

In numerous clinical observations, it has been noted that steroid hormones have effects upon the central nervous system. Earlier interpretations of this relationship were largely speculative until newer methods permitted quantitation of actions of hormones and hormonal deficiencies on cerebral metabolism. The present studies indicate that certain steroids which affect behavior also influence cerebral metabolism.
