Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) is a rare genetic disorder of water balance, closely resembling the far more frequent syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic secretion (SIAD), and characterized by euvolemic hypotonic hyponatremia due to impaired free water excretion and undetectable or low plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels.
Features include always present findings: Elevated systolic blood pressure, Reduced blood urea nitrogen, Decreased circulating renin concentration, and Hyponatremia and others; and common findings: Hyposthenuria, Decreased serum creatinine, Generalized-onset seizure, and Irritability. 10 total HPO annotations.

AVPR2 encodes arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (371 aa). G-protein-coupled receptor for arginine vasopressin, an antidiuretic that promotes renal water reabsorption. Highest expression in Adipose Subcutaneous (14.3 TPM) and Kidney Medulla (10.8 TPM).
Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis is associated with mutations in the AVPR2 gene on chromosome X.
The AVPR2 protein participates in AVPR2 bind desmopressin, Defective AVP mutants do not bind AVPR2, and AVPR1A,2 bind AVPR antagonists pathways.
AVPR2 is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome and G Protein Coupled Receptor categories) with score 4.7.
Genetic testing for AVPR2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 5 always present features, 4 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
1 clinical trial registered, 1 recruiting. Interventions under study include other interventions. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.

AI-curated news mentioning nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis
Updated Feb 24, 2026
A recent study published in PubMed examines bone microarchitecture in patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin and thyrotoxicosis using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). This research contributes to understanding the skeletal implications of this endocrine disorder.
