SIADH vs Diabetes Insipidus

SIADH vs DIABETES INSIPIDUS

Are you struggling to figure out what Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) and Diabetes Insipidus (DI) mean in nursing school?

The endocrine system can be really tough to understand in med-surg. There are so many moving parts, and a lot of things to remember!

In this video, I'm going to walk through an easy breakdown of SIADH and Diabetes Insipidus (DI), so that you can finally understand it for nursing school.


Here's a quick overview of what we'll talk about:

1. SIADH and Diabetes Insipidus (DI) both have to do with a hormone called ADH, which stands for antidiuretic hormone.

2. ADH's job is to tell the kidneys to hold onto water to increase the fluid volume in the body.

3. During SIADH, there is too much ADH being secreted, so the kidneys will hold onto too much water.

4. During diabetes insipidus, there isn't enough ADH, or the kidneys aren't responding to it. This leads to too much fluid loss.


Both the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and diabetes insipidus (DI) affect the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, but in 2 very different ways.
