Transient Central Diabetes Insipidus and Marked Hypernatremia following Cardiorespiratory Arrest

الملخص EN

Central Diabetes Insipidus is often an overlooked complication of cardiopulmonary arrest and anoxic brain injury.

We report a case of transient Central Diabetes Insipidus (CDI) following cardiopulmonary arrest.

It developed 4 days after the arrest resulting in polyuria and marked hypernatremia of 199 mM.

The latter was exacerbated by replacing the hypotonic urine by isotonic saline.
