Specialty Definition: Diuresis

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Diuresis is the production of an unusually large amount of urine. It may be caused by an excess in some diuretic substance, or by an illness, or even by a large intake of fluid.It is when there is an unusually large secretion of urine. This condition can possibly be linked to caffeine, which has been shown to possibly cause diuresis. It is when you feel like you have been drinking water for hours but actually have not been drinking anything all day. It is not a welcomed illness because it is not normal and not a very comfortable thing to have to deel with. When far too much urine is produced it causes the body to have to get rid of the waste products faster which can become highly inconvenient when on a road trip.
