My 4 yr old has been on miralax for over a year. In the past 2 weeks she has been urinating alot. Had urinalysis and cbc blood count. No uti. Thyroid is good. No sugar in urine and glucose levels good. Red and white blood count good. What else can it be?

It is unlikely that Miralax has a cause for increase urination. As there is no UTI, the other possibility is development anomaly of renal tract. Bladder Neck Obstruction in children can produce increased frequency of urination. Ultrasonography of the obnormal and a micturating cystourethrogram are the tests required for diagnosis. Surgical methods are available for correction. The other possibility is diabetes insipidus were deficiency of ADH hormone is responsible; a 24-hr urine collection is measured for volume and creatinine may help in diagnosis.
