Solution
An adult man feels excessive thirst and excretes large volume of dilute urine. He may be suffering from Diabetes Insipidus.
Explanation:
Diabetes insipidus is a condition induced by the posterior pituitary's insufficient secretion of ADH.
ADH modulates urine concentration and is linked to water reabsorption in renal tubules. In this scenario, the patient is extremely thirsty and excretes a big amount of dilute pee.
