Overview
The prevalence of diabetes insipidus is estimated to be 3 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence and incidence of both central and nephrogenic DI does not vary by gender. Similarly, no significant racial predilection in prevalence has been observed. With both central and nephrogenic diabetes inispidus, inherited causes account for approximately 1-2% of all cases. The incidence of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus caused by AQP2 mutations is about 1 in 20 million births.
