Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment Of Diabetes Insipidus

Other Symptoms

Depending on how severe the condition is, patients with diabetes insipidus may lose as much as sixteen quarts of urine a day, whereas a healthy adult typically only loses around three quarts. Losing too much water can cause muscle weakness or pain, lethargy, and irritability. Affected children and infants may experience inconsolable crying, unexplained fussiness, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, weight loss, delayed growth, or an electrolyte imbalance. Thus, individuals should seek treatment at the first sign of increased urine output and excessive thirst.
