4B – Daily News – Saturday, October 9, 2010 DEAR DR. GOTT: What health concerns are indi- cated by dry mouth and an insatiable thirst? DEAR READ- ER: Dry mouth is a rather vague symp- tom and can be an indication of several disorders or side effects of certain medications or habits, such as smoking. Increased thirst can result as the body attempts to restore moisture to the mouth. Because your letter is so short, I cannot provide a definitive answer, but based on your wording, I will give you some information about the two most likely (in my mind) candidates: Sjogren’s Dr. Peter Gott tion. It most commonly affects the eyes and mouth. Risk factors include being female, over age 40, having a family history of the condition and having a rheumatic disease. syndrome and dia- betes insipidus. Sjogren’s syn- drome is an immune-system disorder caused by the body mistaken- ly attacking itself. It affects the mucous mem- branes and mois- ture-secreting glands, causing decreased produc- Advise for those dealing with dry mouth and increased thirst persistent dry cough, skin rash, dry skin, joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Complications of Sjo- gren’s include yeast infec- tions, visual problems, den- tal cavities and more. Treatment is available, eyes and mouth, prolonged fatigue, vaginal dryness, enlarged salivary glands, Symptoms include dry but there is no cure. Mild cases can often be man Medication is available that may increase saliva and possibly tear production. An antimalarial medication has been found to be benefi- cial in easing symptoms of Sjogren’s. Immune-sup- pressing drugs such as steroids may also be used. For those with arthritis symptoms, yeast infections or other complications, medication specific to those conditions may be neces- sary. When eyedrops and medications fail to improve symptoms of dry eyes, surgery to seal the tear ducts may be an option. This pro- cedure keeps tears from draining away from the eyes, thus helping keep the eyes moist. To help manage symp- toms at home, OTC eye- drops, nasal sprays and arti- ficial-saliva products may help. Increasing the humidi- ty and increasing fluid intake may also be benefi- cial. pressin, but it can also occur when the kidneys are unable to respond to the hormone. The most common symptoms of DI are extreme thirst and the excre- tion of excessive amounts of diluted urine. Urine output can range from 2.5 liters per day for mild cases to 15 liters a day in severe cases. Normal output for healthy individuals ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 liters a day. Diabetes insipidus (DI), despite the name, is not related to diabetes type 1 or 2. It is typically the result of the body not properly pro- ducing, storing or releasing the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) also known as vaso- Diabetes insipidus is caused when the body can- not regulate its use of fluids. There are four types of DI, and each has a different way of disrupting the delicate balancing act that is involved in controlling the intake and output of fluids. Central DI is caused by damage to the pituitary or hypothalamus gland, usual- ly because of a tumor, ill- ness, inflammation, surgery or a head injury. On occa- sion, a cause cannot be found. Nephrogenic DI is caused by a defect in the kidney tubules, the struc- tures that cause water to be excreted or reabsorbed. This results in the kidneys being unable to respond to ADH. The defect may be genetic or the result of a chronic kidney disorder or certain drugs. Gestational DI occurs during pregnancy. It is caused when an enzyme made by the placenta destroys the mother’s ADH. Finally, dipsogenic DI is caused by excessive fluid intake.
