Some people r born with it, more times its a head injury & ur having piturity surgery & the adh hormone is destroyed

There are many different reasons you get Di. I think a tumor on pituitary gland is very common. In my case it was a meningitis damaging my pituitary gland that caused it.

Idiopathic, head trauma

Damage to the pituitary gland is the main cause. I think there may be a version that is inherited too.

The cause can be genetic, brain tumor(s) or head trauma. Those are the only causes I am aware of.

Diabetes Insipidus is a result of
1. Pituitary Gland disorders * Hypopituitarism
Central diabetes insipidus. The cause of central diabetes insipidus in adults is usually damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. This damage disrupts the normal production, storage and release of Antidiuretic Hormone
The damage is commonly due to surgery, a tumor, an illness (such as meningitis), inflammation or a head injury. For children, the cause may be an inherited genetic disorder. In some cases the cause is unknown.
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs when there's a defect in the kidney tubules — the structures in your kidneys that cause water to be excreted or reabsorbed. This defect makes your kidneys unable to properly respond to ADH.
The defect may be due to an inherited (genetic) disorder or a chronic kidney disorder. Certain drugs, such as lithium or the antiviral medications cidofovir and foscarnet (Foscavir), also can cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
