About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
