Approach to Polyuria

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Suspected hypotonic polyuria[5]
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Confirm presence of polyuria:
(>50ml/kg/24hrs or >3-4L/day)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(Polyuria confirmed):
Measure urine osmolality
 
 
 
(No polyuria/ or >800 mOsm/kg):
Diabetes insipidus(DI)/Primary polydipsia ruled out
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(<800 mOsm/kg):
Hypotonic polyuria confirmed:
Measure serum Sodium and plasma osmolality
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Low normal or low serum Sodium (<150 mmol/L), plasma osmolality (<280 mOsm/kg):
Primary polydipsia
 
 
 
 
Normal serum Sodium/plasma osmolality:
Indeterminate diagnosis
 
 
 
High serum Sodium (>146 mmol/L), plasma osmolality (>300 mOsm/kg):
Central or Nephrogenic DI
