Diluted Urine Showed Up In The Urine Analysis. Not On Drugs Or Alcohol. What Else Could Be The Reason?

I have been doing U/A testing twice a week, but my last two tests the results came back diluted urine, but I have not been using alcohol and never used any illegal drugs in my lifetime, so what can cause this, very worried.
The test that I'm doing is Court Order, and diluted urine means tampering, and since the Judge goes by what is on paper, she was not happy with my last result, now my current result showed up diluted again.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

I completely understand your concern, but please also note and discuss with your employer, court judge or the laboratory personnel, that a diluted urine report could also be due to the following causes:

-Liver problems: when the liver is not functioning correctly, there is a possibility that the kidneys may manufacture crystal clear urine. Poor digestion, bloating and decreased appetite are some of the common symptoms linked with liver diseases
-Diabetes: urine excreted appears diluted with excess fluid and hence, the urine color in DI patients is crystal clear
-Well hydrated individual: when the urine is diluted and clear, it indicates healthy hydration levels
-Others (substance abuse)

Please rule out all causes before a conclusion of adulteration (substance abuse) is made.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
