db_pavnp Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Forgive me if this isn't the place to ask. I am a potential pre-PA doing some prereqs. I am trying to understand why some sources suggest polyuria is a symptom of hyperaldosteronism. I am leaning towards polyuria is an inevitable result of polydipsia spurned on by elevated blood osmolarity regardless of how much water attempts to follow sodium retention in the kidneys.
