Learn About Osmotic Diuresis

What is the definition of Osmotic Diuresis?

Osmotic diuresis is increased urination due to the presence of certain substances in the fluid filtered by the kidneys. This fluid eventually becomes urine. The process of osmosis created by these substances cause additional water to come into the urine, increasing its amount.

What are the latest Osmotic Diuresis Clinical Trials?
Clinical and Laboratory Parameters Associated With Different Degrees of Dehydration Among Children With Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Status: Not yet recruiting
Start Date: June 2022
Intervention Type: Diagnostic Test
View Trial
Summary: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common acute complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). DKA is characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, increased levels of ketone bodies in blood and urine. This leads to osmotic diuresis and severe depletion of water and electrolytes from both the intra- and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments.~Estimation of the degree of dehydration for child...
