Diabetes insipidus is caused by either a deficiency in ADH production (neurogenic) or impaired renal response to ADH (nephrogenic). ADH excess is characteristic of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. ADH replacement therapy is a treatment for neurogenic diabetes insipidus. Water deprivation would result in increased ADH secretion and further augment dehydration associated with diabetes insipidus.
