What Causes Frequent Thirst & Urination?
My 13 month old daughter if one of twins. She is excessively thristy, especially throughout the night and drinks lots and lots of water. She also pees so much it seeps through her diaper. Should I be worried? Could there be a kidney problem. Should I bring her to the pediatrician?

Hi.... by what you say there is a definite clinical indication that she might be having a kidney problem like Renal tubular acidosis or Diabetes insipidus. I suggest that you get her to her pediatrician and get her evaluated to rule out the above 2 problems. All these becomes even more significant if she is underweight.
