The answer to this question is that the patient will experience a decrease in urine output. The diabetes insipidus is a condition where the patient experienced having large amount of urine which makes the person urinate more and the patient also experience being thirsty all the time. This condition can be treated by just drinking sufficient fluid intake. Desmopressin is the medicine that can treat / cure the diabetes insipidus.
