Patients can urinate from 3-15, dehydration, increased
___________ L per day, leading
to _____________ and ______________
serum osmolality
(concentrated blood).

in the patient with DI, less, increased
urine specific gravity will
be_______ than 1.005 and
plasma osmolality will be
________________

in the pt with DI, increased polydipsia, high
plasma osmolality leads
the pt to have extreme
thirst (__________ ). Serum
sodium levels will appear
___________

You would expect hypotonic, intravascular, sodium

experiences frequent
urination (polyuria) and
night urination (nocturia).
This results in high ___________
osmolality and low __________

gravity is__________ ,
making the urine _________
and light in color.

treatment usually entails
removal of the pituitary
gland (____________ )

for the pt with DI, a decreased, greater, low, high, high

____________ than intake, ________
