Dexmedetomidine is commonly used sedative nowadays. It’s being used as an anesthetic for surgical procedures and frequently being used in ICU Settings for sedation, and analgesia. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective, alpha-2 agonist that also blocks arginine-vasopressin release. Dexmedetomidine is suspected to cause diabetes insipidus leading to polyuria and hypernatremia. We report a case of Diabetes Insipidus associated with use of dexmedetomidine.
