What Could Be The Reason For Having Frequent Urination And Thirsty?

my doctor told me I m not diabetic because test results are negative. I m always thirsty, always urinating to point I cant get to sleep for but only an hour. I need a nap after being awake for about three hours, I m also bruising easily on my arms, itchy feet and hands only at night. My primary doctor says he smart enough to say he knows something is wrong but he doesn t know what though

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

I would advise you to get couple of blood test done like a complete blood picture including platelet count,bleeding time, clotting time. Easy bruisability definitely warrants further investigation.

Itchy hands and feet, most likely allergy or dry skin ; probably to hand lotion etc...

With regards to increased thirst(polydipsia) and increased urination(polyuria), needing a nap after being awake for 3 hours(fatigue), your doctor might want to rule out diabetes insipidus..He might want to do the following tests:
A 24-hour urine collection for determination of urine volume
Serum electrolyte concentrations and glucose level
Urinary specific gravity
Simultaneous plasma and urinary osmolality
Plasma ADH level

Hope this information was helpful to you.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
