Talk:Diuresis

141.136.136.172 (talk) 22:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)Dear Sirs I am not a native English speaker, but please pay attention that on Latin language "dies" is a "day" and "uresis" means "urinating". So diuresis is 24 hours production of urine, and does not mean excessive urine production! Normal and reduced diuresis is a common phrase in medicine, which has no sense if the current WIKIPEDIA definition of diuresis is used!

First
First of all production of glomerular filtrate is 125 ml/min according to most current major textbooks in physiology and the standard value used in practise. This equals to 180 L of glomerular filtrate per day.

Second of all aldosterone is not a true antidiuretic. Vassopressin is the antidiuretic, without it no water retention occurs, it is the necessary factor. However aldosterone can secondarily lead to greater water retention because water follows by osmotis due to increased absorption of Na+.

Third of all, in the field of medicine new resarch is done continuisly, and our understanding of many things change thereby. Should a article be based on a 27 year old textbook as reference? Medicine is not in the same place it was then, it is far more updated. [anonymous]

If Diuresis is the increased production of urine, how can polyuria be increased diuresis? Redzebra 11:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

It's common to refer to caffeine as a diuretic but recent examination does not really support this idea. Since the stub doesn't refer to any recent studies, I would suggest removing or at least qualifying the list of examples. Ibid.Ibought (talk) 03:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Various stubs merged
All the relevant stubs that were listed here have now been merged into a single article. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Surgery
Can anyone with knowledge of the subject kindly add information about what effect any SURGERY has on diuresis? Surgery seems to cause acute osmotic diuresis. - 103.123.36.175 (talk) 10:16, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
