Active clinical trials for "Polyuria"

Urine output and urine drain line pressure were monitored while urine was drained into either: Accuryn Urine Output Monitor (Potrero Medical) OR Criticore Monitor (Bard Medical)

To estimate the prevalence of nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria (NP) in the US and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the burden of illness in participants with nocturia due to NP.

the purpose of the study is to investigate whether arginine infusion is a new tool to differentiate patients with diabetes insipidus, primary polydipsia and healthy subjects.

The differential diagnosis of patients with polyuria/ polydipsia is often complex, but important for the therapeutic strategy. Challenging is in particular the clinical differentiation between patients with a partial Diabetes insipidus centralis and patients with primary polydipsia as underlying disease, because both groups are associated with similar urinary osmolalities. The determination of plasma arginine vasopressin is unusual in this context, since measurement of AVP is not reliably. C-terminal ProVasopressin (copeptin) is secreted stoichiometrically with AVP from the neurohypophysis, but has a longer half life in the circulation, and is thus easier to measure. Therefore, the investigators will analyze in that study the diagnostic utility of plasma copeptin in the differential diagnosis of polyuria and polydipsia.
