What drug(s) are used to tx Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus?

Why does this tx work?

Definition
Thiazides can be used to tx the extreme diuresis of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus bc they ↓ DCT reabsorption of Na+ and H2O → diuresis → ↓ plasma volume → ↓ GFR → ↑Na+ reabsorption in the PCT (which is where the most Na+ is reabsorbed anyways). The result is increased Na+ and H20 retention.
