Title: Diabetes inspidus Question help!!
Post by: icandy310 on Mar 26, 2014
 In a fluid deprivation test, water is withheld from the patient and the osmolarity of urine is checked. How would urine osmolarity change in a healthy person in response to fluid deprivation? How would it change in someone with diabetes insipidus due to head trauma?

In a normal healthy person the volume of urine that you would produce should reduce if you have not drunk anything for a long time. However if your experiencing DI your body will produce the same amount of urine as you would with drinking water and there would be little to no change from the daily amounts of water your body has been excreting.
