Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
When I drink water after 15 to 20 minutes I feel to pass urine. So, I drink less water from one year. I suffered from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) psychiatric disorder from five years. The doctor told me that I am passing more urine due to anxiety. My urea creatinine and blood sugar are in the normal range. I want to know why my kidneys are hyperactive. Have I any risk of developing CKD( chronic kidney disease) in the future?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, not at all. If your urea and creatinine are good, there are no chances that you will develop any renal failure or CKD just because you pass excessive urine. To alleviate your anxiety, get your urine osmolality test done and if that is normal, the urine you are passing is normal.
I hope it helps you.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
What does urine osmolality test indicate?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It simply indicates the liquidity of your urine in simple terms. If osmolality is disturbed urine could be diluted or concentrated reflecting the functioning of kidneys.
If you have any further queries please ask me.
