Diabetes is not a diagnosis – diabetes mellitus is

I thought ADH actually caused a person to feel thirsty. As you need more dilution to high osmotic levels, ADH increases, you feel thritsy and then drink. Am I wrong or is there another mechanism? I could always be wrong

Last time you mentioned ADH I asked about what would happen when measuring sodium concentrations if you were losing both salt and water at the same time. Salt wasting in the presence of diabetes insipidus. One of you guys said no such condition existed.

Cerebral salt wasting Syndrome seems to be such a condition most often seem in pediatric brain tumor patients or patients with subarchnoid (?) hemmorages. However I found a paper where it was also observed in a patient without brain injury. The authors noted that it is hard to diagnose as you guys have no accurate way to measure ECV changes and that hyponatremia is secondary to the water and salt loss. They postulated that it might be much more common, perhaps on the levels of SIADH. Of course all tentative but interesting.
