* [[Polyuria]] is defined as [[urine]] [[output]] more than 2 L/24 hours, or 30 ml/kg/24 hours. There are 3 [[pathophysiologic]] causes of [[polyuria]]: increased [[thirst]] ([[idiopathic]], [[psychogenic]] [[polydepsia]], [[hypothalamic]] disease, and [[medications]]), [[central diabetes insipidus]] (DI) (decreased secretion of [[arginine vasopressin]] ([[AVP]])), and [[nephrogenic diabetes insipidus]] (DI) ([[renal]] resistance to [[AVP]]).<ref name="pmid12617410">{{cite journal| author=Moore K, Thompson C, Trainer P| title=Disorders of water balance. | journal=Clin Med (Lond) | year= 2003 | volume= 3 | issue= 1 | pages= 28-33 | pmid=12617410 | doi=10.7861/clinmedicine.3-1-28 | pmc=4953350 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=12617410  }} </ref>

Treatment

The management of polyuria depends on the underlying cause. Click on each disease shown below to see detailed management for every cause of polyuria.

Do's

  • Recommend diet modification, like avoiding any food that irritates the bladder including caffeine, alcohol, carbonated drinks, tomato-based products, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, and spicy foods.
  • Monitor fluid food intake, drink enough to prevent constipation and over-concentration of urine, and avoid drinking just before bedtime.
  • Recommend Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles around the bladder and urethra.
