Abstract
Effects of Fluid Loading with Water, Normal Saline, Coffee and Coke on Urinary Output, pH and Specific Gravity in Young Healthy Undergraduate Students
Highlights
One of the homeostatic functions of the Kidney is the regulation of water and electrolyte balance
Following the ingestion of Coke, diuresis was observed after 90 minutes which agrees with the work of Oyebola,[11] where it was noted that the ingestion of water produced a decrease in the Osmolarity of the body fluid with a decrease in the secretion of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), due to the increased extracellular volume it creates
This may explain the diuretic effect of Coffee and Coke which contain a lot of water
