A 30-year-old patient presents to the clinic with complaints of excessive thirst and urination. The patientreports drinking several liters of water per day but continues to feel dehydrated. A physical examinationreveals no significant findings, and the patient's vital signs are stable. Laboratory tests show elevatedserum sodium levels and an osmolarity that is higher than expected for the measured serum sodiumconcentration. However, urine osmolarity is inappropriately low. Which of the diagnostic tests would beable to confirm the likely diagnosis?
