A member asked:
Why sickle cell anemeia / multiple myeloma cause diabetes insipidus ? is it because it may obstruct the blood flow to the kidneys and damage them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basically right: Even sickle cell trait ruins much of the concentrating ability of the kidneys by adulthood. Myeloma is more likely to damage and obstruct the tubules themselves. Both produce a kidney lesion that prevents the urine from becoming concentrated, rather than a pituitary diabetes insipidus.
