Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether metformin can increase urine concentration (osmolality) and decrease the amount of urine in patients with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Insipidus Drug: Metformin Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a genetic disease. Patients with this disease make large amounts of urine because their kidneys don't hold on to water. The large amount of urine means that patients need to urinate very frequently. They are also at increased risk for dehydration if they don't drink enough. The large amount of urine can sometimes damage their bladders and kidneys. There are some medicines that may help these patients urinate less, but they are not very effective. There is evidence in animal studies that a medication called metformin may help patients with NDI urinate less.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in mean urine osmolality [ Time Frame: Baseline, 7 hours ]
    Urine osmolality is a measure of urine concentration. Urine osmolality will be measured using a Wescor vapor pressure osmometer. A normal range for urine osmolality is approximately 500-850 mOsm/kg water. Change is the difference in average osmolality from baseline to 7 hours.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in mean urine volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, 7 hours ]
    Urine volume is a measure of fluid balance. Change from baseline in average volume of urine collected from baseline to 7 hours.
