Now since water/fluid is lost by urination so to compensate for it the body sends signals of thirst and so the person feels increased thirst. This is why the patient complains of polyurea and polydipsia. Also, the low potassium levels and increased sodium levels indicate water imbalance If not treated, this may result in a higher risk of diseases such as stroke and hypertension.     Can you suggest treatment for this situation please?
