Help. Patient has polyuria.  Doctor dictates: Urine osmolality and electrolytes pending. He starts new sentence: s/l Dis person sent out differential on polyuria and possibility of obligatory polyuria secondary to chronic potassium loss. Any ideas on what "Dis person" or what the rest of the sentence might be?  Thanks.

is this correct?  POLYPHASIA????  Isn't POLYPHAGIA having to do with eating/swallowing?  I can't find anything in google relating to urination or GU system.....

  Thanks in advance!!
