The doctor will perform a thorough history and physical examination. They may want to do some tests to investigate the cause of the polyuria, which may include:
- Urinalysis (analysis of the urine): for diabetes (looking for glucose, ketones) and signs of renal disease.
- Urine culture (testing for infections).
- Blood glucose levels.
- Blood electrolyte balance (test for renal function).
- 24 hour urine volume.
- Fluid deprivation test (the intake of fluids is restricted to see if the urine volume decreases). Further specialist investigations may be needed, such as renal ultrasound or biopsy, if the cause is not clear.

Diabetes Mellitus comes in two common forms, Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (or Type 1 Diabetes) and Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitues (Type 2 Diabetes). (There is also Gestational Diabetes which occurs during pregnancy). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease mainly found in children. In this type of diabetes the child's immune system attacks insulin producing cells found in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that raises blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is due to diet and age. This form of diabetes is traditionally found in older individuals, but we often hear about the rise of diabetes in younger people. In this case the body is worn down and organs, especially the pancreas and liver, are not able to regulate blood sugar as effectively. The symptoms of both forms of diabetes are the same. The person will experience excessive thirst and hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, and fatigue. The excessive thirst is due to dehydration. The blood glucose (sugar) is increased and the individual will have a high amount of glucose in their urine (giving it a sweet smell) causing them to loose more water. Glucose in the urine can also cause more bladder infections. Due to the high amounts of blood sugar they may experience blurry vision and lethargy.
