Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I'm wondering if long-term use of Midrin is harmful for someone with diabetes insipidus?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from diabetes insipidus, he has been taking DDAVP long-term. It serves as hormone replacement therapy to control excessive urination and prevent electrolyte imbalances. The main component of DDAVP is desmopressin, but it is also used to prevent hyponatremia. During medication, the patient must control their fluid intake to avoid water and sodium retention and electrolyte imbalances. Under standardized treatment and monitoring, the harm of DDAVP to the human body is minimal. Maintain an optimistic mindset, engage in appropriate outdoor exercise, and lower your immunity.
