WHAT DOES ADIPSIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Adipsia

Adipsia is a condition that can affect both humans and other animals and involves an absence of thirst. Its underlying causes vary but have included anomalies involving the hypothalamus, pituitary and corpus collosum. Although Diabetes insipidus usually involves polydipsia, it can also rarely occur not just in the absence of polydipsia but in the presence of such diminished thirst as to fit hypodipsia or adipsia. While adipsia is rare, and may occur in the absence of any structural lesions to the hypothalamus, it may also be seen medically in association with hypothalmus/pituitary involvement in Diabetes Insipidus and/or hypernatremia or following pituitary/hypothalmus surgery.

Definition of adipsia in the English dictionary
