Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1TYC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason behind the excretion of large amounts of urine after head injury.
Introduction:
The hormone vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) induces the re-absorption of water at the nephron regions of the distal convoluted tubule as well as the collecting duct to allow the urine to become more concentrated. When the concentration of the blood plasma is too dilute, the production ADH stops leading to the elimination of more water in the urine.

A 42-year-old female presents with nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness, and intermittent pain in her mid-left flank (stomach). Laboratory examination reveals an increased serum calcium and a decreased serum phosphorus. Urinary calcium is increased, and microhaematuria is present. 1.1 What is the most likely cause of this patient’s abnormality? 1.2 Which hormone is responsible for this condition? 1.3 Is the condition primary or secondary? Explain. 1.4 Explain why an increased serum calcium and a decreased serum phosphorus.
1.5 Which vitamin will have the same effect as this condition? 1.6 Explain why there is muscle weakness and pain in the mid-left flank. 1.7 Describe the meaning of the following clinical terms: 1.7.1 Nausea; 1.7.2 Fatigue; 1.7.3 Microhaematuria.

Antidiuretic hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates the production of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which increases reabsorption of sodium and water retention. 3) A. Renin is produced by the kidneys and is converted to angiotensin, which induces the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which in turn increases reabsorption of sodium and retention of water. 4) C. Renin is produced by the adrenal glands, leading to vasoconstriction and production of antidiuretic hormone by the pituitary gland, which increases fluid volume by causing water retention. no references, just homeworkarrow_forward
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a lifethreatening condition that results from a deficiency in the P450 enzyme steroid 21- hydroxylase.
