Figure 1. Serial changes in urine volume during hospitalization, before and after treating central diabetes insipidus with the synthetic arginine vasopressin analogue desmopressin. Oral desmopressin was started at 60 μg/day on day 4 of admission. As the dose was titrated up gradually, the daily urine volume decreased. After the dose was increased to 300 μg/day, the urine volume decreased to around 1 L/day.
