Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what tests need to be done for diabetes insipidus?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes insipidus requires thorough laboratory tests, which may include urinalysis, specific gravity of urine, six hormones, cranial CT or MRI scans, and comprehensive ultra-sound tests, etc. Treatment options include medication, surgery, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, etc. It is recommended to drink plenty of plain water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplement vitamins and minerals. Maintain confidence in overcoming the disease, as there may be ways to treat it effectively in the hospital.
