Kidney disease?: Get with your physician. I trust you drink adequate water when you're thirsty. He/she will rule diabetes mellitus in or out, then evaluate you for the ability to concentrate your urine. If you are not able to do this, you will then be tested to see whether you have pituitary diabetes insipidus, or renal interstitial disease. This is serious. Get it looked at now.
