Question

Hello doctor,

From the past few days, I have frequent urination. I am attaching all the test reports that I have done so far. I also got an x-ray and CT scan of the chest, but as I am out, I cannot upload them now. I will upload them later if you need it.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen all the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

I suggest you get the following tests done.

Urine osmolality test.
Ultrasound of the bladder, post-void.
24-hour urine volume.

If these tests are positive, then you will need a water deprivation test for a day, which will confirm that it is diabetes insipidus. For which medicine is in the form of a nasal spray.

Answer 4

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I saw the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Your urine osmolality is very low and total urine volume is high, which means your body's ability to concentrate urine is very weak. This condition is called as diabetes insipidus.

Diabetes insipidus is of two types, central and nephrogenic, and the treatment is different for both. To differentiate them, you need to get admitted for a day and undergo a water deprivation test, which will clear the line of treatment.

You need to consult a nephrologist for this, but once we come to the exact diagnosis, treatment will be effective.

Until then, drink water equal to your urine output, so that you do not get dehydrated.
