Diuresis is a condition of production of excessive urine. It is a condition when kidney filters more excess of liquids. It is caused due to reduced reabsorption of fluids in the kidney. It can be caused due to excess of blood glucose level during diabetics. The excess glucose can accumulate and block the reabsorption of water.
