Overview
Polyuria is the passage of a large volume of urine in a given period (>= 2.5L/24 hours in adult humans) [2] It often appears with increased thrist (polydipsia), though it is possible to have one without the other.
Causes
Common Causes
- Benign prostate hyperplasia
- Bladder cancer
- Bladder compression

- Noctural polyuria syndrome
- Overactive bladder
- Pathological water intake
- Postobstructive uropathy
- Prostate cancer
- Prostate conditions
- Sassoon hospital syndrome
- Serratia urinary tract infection
- Urethral cancer
- Urethritis
- Urinary outflow obstruction
- Urinary stones
- Urinary tract infection
- Uterine fibroids
- Uterine leiomyoma

- Squamous cell carcinoma of lung (a paraneoplastic consequence)
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
- Urinary tract infection - although it more commonly causes frequent passage of small volumes of urine rather than a large volume
