Question: 1 / 495

What condition is characterized by frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and extreme hunger?

Diabetes

The condition described in the question is characterized by frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and extreme hunger, which are classic symptoms of Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes.

In diabetes, the body's ability to utilize glucose efficiently is impaired, leading to high blood sugar levels. This results in increased thirst as the kidneys work to excrete the excess sugar, which promotes frequent urination. The body, unable to use glucose for energy, begins to break down fat and muscle for fuel, resulting in unexplained weight loss. Additionally, the lack of usable glucose prompts extreme hunger as the body signals its need for energy.

Other options such as Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and renal failure present with different symptoms, which do not align as closely with the specific combination mentioned. Cushing's syndrome may involve symptoms such as weight gain and changes in skin appearance, hyperthyroidism may lead to weight loss but usually along with anxiety and increased heart rate, and renal failure often causes symptoms related to fluid overload or electrolyte imbalances rather than the classic symptoms of thirst and hunger associated with diabetes.
