Mr. Kyle Foulard just regained his health back after suffering from a crisis of acute diabetic. He is prescribed ACE that is angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and a thiazide diuretic. He is given counseling on the significance of taking his medications on time and to follow his check-up routine on time. The following tests were obtained before he was discharged: Urine: pH 6.9, negative for ketones and glucose; a 24-hour collection of urine showed 170 mg (milligram) albumin in urine per day; BP (blood pressure): 150/95, HR-75, and body temperature are 37.2°C. Characters in the case: Mr. Kyle Boulard, a man in his early 30s who is suffering from acute diabetes. Adequate information: Mr. Kyle is given thiazide diuretic and an ACE that is angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors after just recovering from acute diabetes crisis. To determine: The way in which ACE inhibitors reduces the blood pressure.

A 3-month-old boy is brought to the emergency department because of a 20day history of lethargy. Physical examination shows no other abnormalities. The results of laboratory studies are shown: serum: Na+ 165 mEa/L (N=139-146) Cl- 130 mEq/L (N=95-105) Osmolality 334 mOsmol/kg H2O (N=282-295) urine: specific gravity 1.001 osmolality 117 mOsmol/kg H2O (N>200) He is admitted to the hospital. His urine output is increased. His serum ADH (vasopressin) concentraion is 24 pg/mL (N=1-5); aldosterone and renin concentrations are within the reference ranges. The urine osmolality remains unchanges after administration of 1-deamino-B-arginine vasopressin. An MRI of the brain and pituitary gland shows no abnormalities. Ultrasonography shows normal kidneys. The most likely underlying cause of the findings in this patient is a defect in which of the following?a. angiotensin-converting enzyme b. aquaporin c. 11a-Hydroxylase d. renin e. vasopressin receptors
