  Diuresis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This may be due to large fluid intake, various illnesses (diabetes insipidus, osmotic diuresis due to diabetes mellitus or hypercalcemia) or various chemical substances (diuretics, caffeine, alcohol).
Diuresis is restrained by antidiuretics such as ADH, angiotensin II and aldosterone.
High-altitude diuresis occurs at altitudes above 10,000 ft and is a desirable indicator of adaptation to high altitudes.

 s020508a - Post-Obstructive Diuresis - Pathophysiology
Postobstructive diuresis occurs after relief of obstruction in 0.5 to 52% of patients; however, it is easily managed and rarely of clinical significance.
After relief of obstruction, prominent post-obstructive diuresis and natriuresis ensued; the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide level progressively decreased to that noted in the control group, accompanied by improvement in renal function, and diminishing diuresis and natriuresis.
The mechanism of this unilateral post-obstructive diuresis is based on the combination of preservation of glomerular filtration rate of the obstructed kidney and distal tubular damage.

 p020508a - Post-Obstructive Diuresis - Pathophysiology
Atrial natriuretic peptide may be important in postobstructive diuresis, and preliminary evidence suggests a role for it as protection against nephron ischemia in acute obstruction.
The potential for recovery of renal function after relief of obstruction depends on the duration and degree of obstruction, the condition of the contralateral kidney, and the presence or absence of infection.
We found that urea mediated osmotic diuresis, natriuresis owing to elimination of retained sodium from the obstructed phase, tubular defects in sodium reabsorption, renal unresponsiveness to antidiuretic hormone and iatrogenic factors may play varying roles in each individual diuresis.

diuresis resulting from the presence of nonabsorbable or poorly absorbable, osmotically active substances (mannitol, urea, glucose, etc.) in the renal tubules.

Conservatively, the diuresis renogram should be taken as only one indicator of drainage function.

The natriuresis is due in part to the excretion of retained urea (osmotic diuresis).
In the majority of patients this diuresis results in the appropriate excretion of the excesses of retained salt and water.
Occasionally, iatrogenic expansion of extracellular volume is responsible for, or sustains, the diuresis observed in the postobstructive period.

 Potassium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism.
A shortage of potassium can cause a potentially fatal condition known as hypokalemia, typically resulting from diarrhea, increased diuresis and vomiting.
Deficiency symptoms include, muscle weakness, paralytic ileus, ECG abnormalities, decreased reflex response, and in severe form respiratory paralysis and alkalosis and arrhythmia.

 Polyuria & Polydipsia, VM 552 SAM Urogenital System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Polyuria may be due to water diuresis, solute diuresis or a combination of both mechanisms.
Solute diuresis often results in a urine specific gravity in the isosthenuric or minimally concentrated range (1.007 to 1.030), and the polyuria that results is milder than the polyuria that accompanies water diuresis.
Both solute diuresis and water diuresis may contribute to polyuria in animals with pyelonephritis, hyperadrenocorticism, liver disease, renal failure, hypoadrenocorticism, hypercalcemia, and hyperthyroidism.
