Immersion diuresis is a type of diuresis caused by water drawing heat away from the body and causing vasoconstriction of the cutaneous blood vessels within the body to conserve heat.[1][2][3] The body detects an increase in the blood pressure and inhibits the release of vasopressin, causing an increase in the production of urine.
