Psychogenic polydipsia is an uncommon clinical disorder characterized by excessive water-drinking in the absence of a physiologic stimulus to drink. The excessive water-drinking is well tolerated unless hyponatremia supervenes. This report describes 11 patients with psychogenic polydipsia and hyponatremia (ten men and one woman) who were collectively hospitalized a total of 70 times for treatment of complications of this disorder. This group differs from the classical patient with psychogenic polydipsia, ie, a hospitalized schizophrenic, in that none was institutionalized and there was a high incidence of chronic alcoholism (10), intractable hiccups (7), self-induced vomiting (6), and laboratory evidence for rhabdomyolysis (5).
精神性烦渴是一种罕见的临床疾病，其特征是在没有生理性饮水刺激的情况下过量饮水。除非发生低钠血症，否则过量饮水通常能被耐受。本报告描述了11例患有精神性烦渴和低钠血症的患者（10名男性和1名女性），他们因该疾病的并发症共住院治疗70次。该组患者与典型的精神性烦渴患者（即住院的精神分裂症患者）不同，因为他们均未被收容住院，且慢性酒精中毒（10例）、顽固性呃逆（7例）、自我诱导呕吐（6例）以及横纹肌溶解的实验室证据（5例）的发生率较高。
