WHY THIAZIDE IS USED IN NEPHROGENIC DIABETES INSPIDUS (WHEN IN ITSELF THIAZIDE IS A DIURETIC AND THE BODY HAS TO CONSERVE WATER AND NOT LOOSE WATER WITH THE ALREADY UNCOMPENSATED NEPHROGENIC DIABETES INSIPIDUS)?CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN BRIEFLY?


  #2

best to just think of the thiazides as having a paradoxical therapeutic affect to decrease urine in Nephrogenic DI.
