He has no significant past medical problems and his physical examination is normal. Initial investigations consist of a normal complete blood count (CBC) fasting blood glucose and urinalysis. His sodium, urea, and creatinine are normal, but calcium is 12.4 mg/dL (8.4-10.2 mg/dL). Further testing reveals an elevated PTH level. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism for the polyuria in this condition?
