| |
| Dehydration Sudden weight loss, dark urine (decreased, not increased urination) Decreased 24-hour urine; in mild and moderate dehydration: normal blood sodium; in severe dehydration: increased blood sodium
| |
| Heat exhaustion or heat stroke
| |
| Exhaustion, cool, clammy skin, increased body temperature (in heat stroke: warm skin, body T > 105.8 °F or 41 °C) Decreased 24-hour urine
| |
| Diabetes mellitus Hunger or poor appetite, weight loss, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, jock itch, diabetes in family Increased glucose levels in the blood and urine

| |
| Diuretics Dry mouth Decreased urine specific gravity
| |
| Psychogenic polydipsia
| |
| Usually in individuals with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotics Increased 24-hour urine, decreased urine specific gravity and osmolality, sometimes: decreased blood sodium
| |
