10 Symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Fever
Usually, a fever is caused as a deliberate act by our bodies to make the body hotter. This is to make it difficult for any pathogens in the body to survive. It is an effective defense against disease, but a fever is not always caused by this mechanism. It also occurs in diabetes insipidus, even when there is no pathogen present.
The mechanism that causes a fever in this instance is thought to be associated with how heat is lost from the body. This might sometimes lead to a patient being diagnosed as having an infection or other condition by mistake.
