vasopressinase induced diabetes insipidus may be seen in the last trimester of pregnancy and in the puerperium; it is often associated with oligohydramnios, pre eclampsia, or hepatic dysfunction. A circulating enzyme destroys native vasopressin; however synthetic desmopressin is unaffected.The condition usually responds to desmopressin therapy and subsides spontaneously.
