What is the cause for polyuria in a patient with diabetes mellitus? As more glucose is metabolized by the cells, more water is produced, causing polyuria
Hypoglycemia leads to glycosuria and as a result of this, an increase in hydrostatic pressure causes polyuria
Hyperglycemia leads to glycosuria and the breakdown of proteins and fats releases more ketones into the urine, and as a result of this, osmosis leads to polyuria
A decrease in the hormone ADH prevents water reabsorption, causing polyuria
