Hi,

The excessive urination seems unlikely to be related to Crohn's disease. Howe'ver it may be related to her lung cancer which may cause a condition called SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion) in which abnormal hormones are produced in the body which may cause a large amount of urine that is generally more than 4 liters per day.

However, sometimes excessive urine may be caused by an infection in urine or high sugar, high calcium. But that's generally not more than 3 liter.

So first her urine should be checked and if negative for infection then he should be tested for SIADH that would be done in the hospital only.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
