- Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus results from the kidneys' inability to respond to ADH. (Hypothalamic Hormones: Endocrine Regulation and Functions — Notes)
- Side effects: tremor, thirst and polyuria (nephrogenic diabetes insipidus), weight gain, hypothyroidism, hypercalcaemia (hyperparathyroidism), GI upset, chronic kidney disease. (Bipolar and Related Disorders)
- Hypercalcaemia → ↑ ionised Ca²⁺ → decreased neuronal excitability → polyuria, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, renal calculi; shortened QT. (Sodium, potassium and calcium disorders)
- Peripheral edema: Hypervolemic hyponatraemia (e.g., heart failure, cirrhosis) or hyper‑calcaemia‑induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus causing polyuria then volume overload. (Sodium, potassium and calcium disorders)
