Central diabetes insipidus secondary to COVID-19 infection: a case report

Abstract: Background Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mainly affects the lungs, but can involve several other organs. The diagnosis of acute and chronic sequelae is one of the challenges of COVID-19. The current literature proposes that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may involve the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. In this case report, we present a unique case of new-onset central diabetes insipidus secondary to the COVID-19 disease in a 54-year-old woman. … Show more

“…It should be noted that new-onset arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency was also reported during or (more frequently) shortly after COVID-19 infection in several cases ( Table 1 ), raising the possibility of a causal relationship [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] . Possible putative mechanisms to explain AVP deficiency in this context are hypophysitis or immune-mediated, however the number of cases reported so far are too few to allow for any sound conclusion.…”

“…A rise in new-onset diabetes was found in several studies, particularly in patients with long-COVID [16,17]. SARS-CoV-2 infection might also lead to type 1 [18] or type 2 diabetes [17] or central diabetes insipidus [19] through complex and differing mechanisms. Glycemic parameters in patients with new-onset diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic are otherwise more severe than in patients with new-onset diabetes before the pandemic [16,17].…”

“…The other descriptions are of a patient who was not treated with vasopressin [ 31 , 32 ]; a non-ECMO COVID-19 patient who developed central DI with brain edema [ 33 ]; and an ECMO patient who developed oliguria and hyponatremia while treated with vasopressin [ 34 ]. There are also three case reports of DI development as late sequala of mild to moderate COVID19 infection (4–8 weeks after COVID19 infection) [ [35] , [36] , [37] ]. Supplement 3 provides a more detailed literature review.…”
