Gloassary term:

Gestational DI

Gestational diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare condition characterised by excessive thirst and urination during pregnancy due to insufficient production of the hormone vasopressin, often linked to placental factors. It is clinically significant as it can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, impacting maternal and fetal health. A key association is with preeclampsia, where the risk of gestational DI may increase, necessitating careful monitoring and management.
