Cause?: Whether it is permanent or temporary is highly dependent on the cause of di. Treatment is available and the condition can be well managed. Sometimes di is associated with other conditions also. Please discuss with your endocrinologist. Or, if the di is a primary kidney issue rather than pituitary, please discuss with your kidney specialist.

It depends.: Sometimes, diabetes insipidus (inability for the body to hold onto water due to the lack of or inaction of anti-diuretic hormone (adh)) is temporary after brain surgery. If permanent, usually due to a pituitary or kidney problem, it is not usually curable but can be easily treated especially if dealing with an ADH (vasopressin) deficiency.
