A member asked:

Dx of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, prescription hctz/amiloride. meds are making me urinate every 20-30min instead of slowing me down. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Potassium: Please recheck diagnosis and treatment with a second opinion from a board certified nephrologist. Ameliodide helps you save potassium. But i often see this diagnosis made incorrectly and recommend a second opinion.
