Hypersthenuria
Hypersthenuria
Hypersthenuria (/ˌhaɪpərstɛnˈjʊəriə/) is a medical condition characterized by the excretion of highly concentrated urine. The term is derived from the Greek words "hyper" (meaning "over" or "above"), "sthenos" (meaning "strength"), and "ouron" (meaning "urine").
Causes
Hypersthenuria can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, diabetes insipidus, and certain kidney diseases. It can also be a side effect of certain medications, such as diuretics.
Symptoms
Symptoms of hypersthenuria can include thirst, dry mouth, fatigue, and dizziness. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney stones or kidney failure.
Diagnosis
Hypersthenuria is typically diagnosed through a urine test, which measures the concentration of solutes in the urine. A high concentration indicates hypersthenuria.
Treatment
Treatment for hypersthenuria typically involves addressing the underlying cause. This may involve increasing fluid intake in the case of dehydration, adjusting medication if it is a side effect, or treating the underlying kidney disease.
