Background: It has been suggested that higher arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentration may be associated with greater eGFR decline in diabetic patients not using inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (Diabetologia 2013). If excessive AVP action is detrimental to renal prognosis, then diabetic patients with central diabetes insipidus (CDI) may have relatively preserved renal function. Therefore, we aimed to compare long-term renal prognosis of diabetic patients with and wi...
