Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been a bit swollen all over. I feel weak all the time. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me the symptoms of diabetes insipidus in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes insipidus generally refers to a daily urine output greater than 2500 milliliters. If symptoms such as thirst, restlessness, and excessive drinking occur, accompanied by a significant increase in nocturia, even exceeding 4000 milliliters or more, the total daily urine output can surpass 8000 to 10,000 milliliters. Additionally, urine osmolality is markedly reduced. It is recommended to visit a hospital for thorough examinations such as urinalysis and water deprivation vasopressin test to confirm the diagnosis. We hope this information helps you.
