Abstract Congenital renal dysplasia WAS Diagnosed tentatively, based on ultrasound and year
intravenous urogram, in a 5-month-old female with polyuria and polydipsia. creatinine clearance
measurement the renal dysplasia Revealed That Was Not the cause of the polyuria. A modified
water deprivation test Eliminated Other differential diagnoses and psychogenic polydipsia Confirmed.
Renal dysplasia and congenital Resume psychogenic polydipsia in a Bernese mountain dog.
A tentative diagnosis of congenital renal dysplasia was subsequently raised has an ultrasound examination
and has an intravenous urogram in a bitch 5 months presenting polyuria and polydipsia.
An analysis of the creatinine clearance has revealed that renal dysplasia was not the cause
polyuria. A modified ordeal of water deprivation resulted in eliminating diagnoses diffdrentiels
psychogenic polydipsia and confirmed.
Thirst is the desire to drink. This is a feeling of dry mouth and mucous membranes due to a need for the body water.
Some terms are used in connection with the thirst it comes to (not exhaustive):
The oligodipsie (from the Greek oligos: dipsa little and thirst, in English oligodipsia) reflects the reduction or almost complete absence of thirst. The oligodipsie is observed in some individuals who show no disturbance of a medical nature.
Polydipsia (Greek palus: many dipsa: thirst, polydipsia in English) translated excessive thirst.
The dipsomania (Greek dipsa: thirst and so: Madness) is the impulse that drives some individuals (dipsomaniacs) with psychiatric disorders to absorb excess toxic liquids, most often alcohol. Trelat said: “Drunks are people who get drunk when they find an opportunity to drink the dipsomaniacs are patients who get drunk every time they access the taking.”
The term dipsogenic means something that causes thirst. Such term also includes substances with this property.
Knowing that the hypothalamus regulates the sensation of thirst, a lesion of the central gray nucleus disrupt it. Thus, lack of thirst may be the result of a breach of the hypothalamus (the hypothalamus) that occur between other following a head injury, an illness, injury etc. .. If no correction is made hydropower that is to say if the individual absorbs, from that moment, no liquid, there is a risk of dehydration.
Renal failure or taking medications such as phenothiazines or severe bleeding can result in a significant sense of thirst.
Potomania the contrary, is an unquenchable thirst and permanent. This symptom can reflect the occurrence of diabetes insipidus or diabetes mellitus. More rarely potomania may be the result of a psychiatric or psychological disturbance. It is in this case of psychogenic polydipsia with excessive thirst due to a psychiatric condition.
Cellular dehydration syndrome also called cellular dehydration or intracellular dehydration syndrome denotes the set of symptoms due to an increase in the osmotic tonicity (osmotic pressure) outside the body cells as occurs among others in the hypertension syndrome osmotic plasma.
Syndrome extracellular dehydration that occurs during Darrow’s syndrome, among others, is a collection of symptoms characterized by a decrease in the amount of sodium within the extracellular compartment with a proportionally water loss (water ). The patient suffers from haemoconcentration but the quantity of sodium in the blood (serum sodium) and the osmotic pressure of plasma is normal. The symptoms are fatigue, dry skin and mucous membranes, tachycardia (increased heart rate) and hypotension. It can be seen by other oliguria with a high amount of nitrogen in the urine. This syndrome may be due to loss of water and salt through the digestive tract because of vomiting, diarrhea or gastrointestinal fistula. It may also be the result of water loss through the skin or kidney due to chronic adrenal insufficiency. Diabetic coma and nephritis may also be the origin.
Treatment requires the administration of water and salt.
Syndrome or complete dehydration is a comprehensive set of symptoms resulting extracellular dehydration associated with intracellular dehydration. Extracellular dehydration affects all body compartments outside the cells that compose it. The intracellular dehydration for the interior of all cells in the body. There is other hemoconcentration (blood concentration) and increased the amount of sodium (salt) in the blood. This is a syndrome that is caused by a deficiency of water and salt resulting from loss of water and salt in large quantities. Sodium losses (or sodium salt) are the result of a leak in the gut but also in sweat. These losses must be compensated, especially among the elderly, infants and the topic coma. Syndrome overall dehydration results in the appearance of a thirst, a fall in blood pressure, a dry skin and mucous membranes (cell layer covering the inside of a hollow organ in touch with air) of the mouth, agitation and psychological disorders. It is necessary to administer simultaneously water and salt.
Fever of thirst (dehydration fever in English) also called dehydration fever. means a rise in temperature, occurring suddenly and transiently in a newborn aged 3 to 4 days. In general this syndrome occurs most often during the warm season. It is the result of fluid absorption in short supply. Fever of thirst is also observed in adults who are exposed, including the sun or other heat sources, which results in significant evaporation loss of water resulting in very intense, which is not offset by a fluid intake (water) enough.
Polyuridipsique syndrome also called syndrome-dipsique polyuria or polydipsia-polyuria is a symptom complex resulting in the combination of excessive thirst and a superabundant secretion (in large amounts) of urine, as occurs among other in diabetes insipidus.
