Question: Lucia Sanchez is a 24 year old woman who presented to her physician with a chief complaint of urinary frequency (polyuria) and excessive thirst (polydipsia). Her polyuria began abruptly two weeks prior to her doctors appointment. Prior to that time, Lucia voided approximately five times per day. She estimated that she was now voiding twenty times per day. Two days prior to her visit to the doctors office she was advised to collect her urine in order to check its volume in a 24 hour period: her total urine volume measured 12 liters. Lucia also noticed an intense craving for ice water that began at about the same time as her polyuria. If she did not have access to water, she would become extremely thirsty and dizzy. She denied any change in her appetite. She also denied the use of any medications. Need Assignment Help?
