What Does Excessive Thirst And Yellow Urine Indicate?
Question: I started having excessive thirst and yellow urine start at the same time 1 month ago
Brief Answer:
Diabetes is the most probable reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms are very often present in case of diabetes. When there is too much sugar in the blood, our body tries to eliminate it with urine. And as the sugar needs to be dissolved in the water, there is increased water elimination with urine. This results with increased needs of liquids and gives thirstiness.
Chronic kidney disease is also a condition which can cause excessive thirst. In this case, kidneys do not filtrate blood property so too much water is excreted.
I suggest you to have some diagnostics. Please start with urine analysis, blood work (CBC, creatinine level, ions levels, glucose level) and abdominal ultrasound.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
