Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a severe pathology of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, based on a deficit of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The disease is a life threating condition for patients without adequate replacement therapy by various preparations of arginine vasopressin. This review presents the current concepts on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic proсedures, and treatment of CDI. The article gives comparative pharmacological characteristics of various desmopressin forms for the treatment of the central form of disease. When choosing a therapy for the treatment of CDI, the article highlights the long-term high efficiency and safety of the original sublingual form of desmopressin (Mininin Melt), which is confirmed by real clinical practice and clinical trials, including the comparison with other forms of desmopressin.
