4yr old CAH male with frequent urination

Subject: 4yr old CAH male with frequent urination
Forum: The Urology Forum
I have a 4yr old son who also has congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
My question is is regarding his frequent urination to the point that
anyone who spends time with him comments on how frequent it is. He is
fully trained during the day however still requires a diaper at night.
I know this is not uncommon for a boy this age however, 50% of the week he wets
through his diaper, sometimes to the point where his hair requires washing.
He does drink a fair amount due to the cah and his need for salt however not much
more than my 6yr old daughter. He has been known to have his last drink at 5 fall asleep
at 6, wake to take his meds at 7:30 with very small amount of water,
wake at 4 with a very full diaper. Have nothing to drink at 4am and urinate very much at 4,
5 and 6am(still with nothing to drink). How is this possible to urinate so much
not having drank since 5pm the night before? He has been tested for an infection
and sugar which were both okay. Please help, this mom is very concerned
about her son and can't help but feel there is something wrong.
