A novel diagnostic score for diagnosing arginine vasopressin deficiency (central diabetes insipidus) or primary polydipsia with basal laboratory parameters and a novel diagnostic score: results from two international multicentre prospective diagnostic studies
We introduce a stepwise diagnostic approach, starting with basal laboratory tests and rule-in and rule-out criteria for immediate treatment. For intermediate cases, the novel score aids in identifying arginine vasopressin deficiency or primary polydipsia with high accuracy. This approach could lead to shortening the diagnostic timeline and reducing dependence on stimulation or dynamic tests.
