Ketamine-Induced Diabetes Insipidus.

This report suggests that the patient likely experienced a medication-induced DI, which was successfully resolved through proper identification of the causative agent, removal, and subsequent treatment with desmopressin. Causality assessment between ketamine and DI was determined using the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale-a total score of 7 was achieved and thus identified the adverse drug reaction as probable. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility that ketamine may be contributory in a patient with unexplained DI. PMID: 30702377 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
