Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu's Response

Hello,

Sometimes, fluid retention or hypervolemia and hyponatremia may cause excessive thirst. Renal artery angioplasty and stenting is the procedure of choice. Please get serum electrolytes and serum creatinine levels. Consult with your nephrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
