Like many illness, there are different classifications of DI. Central Diabetes Insipidus is the most common. Damage to the pituitary gland causes a disruption of the standard storage and release of ADH. Another form of DI is Nephrogenic DI. This is the result of the kidneys being incapable of responding to ADH.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive gene disorder. This disease affects the lungs most significantly. It also affects the pancreas, liver, and intestines, and various organs. This disease is characterized by the buildup of thick, sticky mucus that can damage vital organs. This abnormal mucus can clog the airways which will lead to severe problems with breathing and bacterial infections in the lungs.
There might be more than one negative feedback systems that can counter the changes of a particular disturbance. If you do not maintain homeostatic balance in the cardiovascular system, you are at risk for having strokes, and heart attacks. It also affects the eyes, kidneys, brain and the aorta. The homeostatic imbalance that causes Diabetes is when the body does not produce enough or overproduces the hormone insulin and sometimes glucagon. Another cause is when a person’s body possesses nonfunctional receptor sites within target cells that cause the body to become insensitive to these same chemicals.
Renal causes affect the kidney directly, they include sepsis (when the immune system is overwhelmed by infections which causes the kidney to shut down), medication which are toxic to the kidney e.g. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and others) etc. lastly the post- renal causes include, obstruction of the bladder; the kidney produces more urine but due to the obstruction it acts like a dam instead of emptying and soon forces the kidney to shut down and kidney stones which only causes the disorder if only one kidney is present. The main cause of this conditions is the accumulation of waste products in the kidney. In some cases kidney failure can be treated and they can go back to normal
Other conditions that cause anemia are HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease, and sickle cell anemia. Primary polycythemia is caused by unregulated erythrocyte production. Polycythemia may occur because of hypoxia. When this occurs the body senses low oxygen levels and produces more erythrocytes to carry more oxygen to the body
DKA simulation 1. Describe the pathophysiologic changes in DKA. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), is caused by insulin deficiency. Signs of DKA include hyperglycemia, ketosis, acidosis, and dehydration. This condition most likely to occurs in people with type 1 diabetes but may also be seen in type 2 diabetes and also in conditions of severe illness or stress that may cause the pancreas to be unable to meet the extra demand for insulin.
Some of the causes of CHF are weakened heart muscles, damaged heart valves, blocked blood vessels in the heart (which may lead to cardiac arrest), Exposure to alcohol or drug substances, high blood pressure, ongoing untreated arrhythmias, genetic diseases effecting the heart, and there are many other things that could cause CHF, this just lists a few. There are also a few causes that are done because of unhealthy habits such as smoking, obesity and lack of exercise, high sodium intake, excessive alcohol use, and noncompliance with medications and therapies directed by physicians. Those are the causes,
The pancreas is one of the important organs in the body where it produces enzymes that help the body digest the food and the hormones that help absorb sugars. However, when thick mucus is produced in the pancreas, this mucus clogs up the narrow passageways where it can make it very difficult for the person to digest the food and gain al the vitamins and nutrients needed for the body. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive, autosomal disease where it is an inherited disease of the body’s mucus and sweat glands (News Medical, 2013). This disease occurs when a mutation in a gene encoding for cystic fibrosis conductance regulation(CFTR) protein on chromosome 7 (Genetics Home References, 2013). It is passed down from the parents to the children because whoever has cystic fibrosis is born with it.
The hormone that is not being produced is called ACTH, cortisol or aldosterone. Addison’s disease happens when the anterior pituitary gland produces excessive but in effective amounts of ACTH to the adrenal cortex. This hinders its ability to produce and release hormones. Symptoms include bronzing of skin, dehydration, fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Addison’s disease is an autoimmune disease.
The cells are located in the pancreas, and they are responsible for producing insulin. The ensuing deficient in insulin results in amplified urine and blood glucose. IDDM is a chronic disease resulting in high mortality rate throughout the globe. The disease is not curable, but patients learn to manage it throughout their lifetime. Some of the classical symptoms of the disease include loss of weight, urinating frequently, extreme thirst as well as hunger (Cooke & Plotnick, 2008).
