I. Describe the role of the following hormones in the formation of urine‚ specifically explain the stimulus for their release‚ actions (decrease/increase GFR) and whether or not dilute/concentrated urine results): ADH (Vasopressin) – ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine. Formation of urine = in the DCT and collecting ducts‚ water movement out of the body is regulated by ADH. Stimulus for their release = lowered blood pressure or low salt or water concentration

to reduced fluid intake or excessive use of diuretics. During prerenal failure damage is minimal and can be reversed with proper treatment. Permanent damage can occur with prolonged decrease in blood flow to the kidneys (Rhodes‚ 2009). Next‚ postrenal failure accounts for 5-10% of all cases‚ therefore being the least common cause (Cunha‚ 2000). Postrenal failure is caused by an acute obstruction that affects the normal flow of urine out of both kidneys. The blockage causes fluid

Task 4 – The Maintenance of the Acid – Base balance in the body (D1) pH is measured based on its acidity and alkalinity. There are many substances around the body that have different pH values. A pH of 7 is usually considered neutral‚ neither acid nor alkaline‚ this is the pH of water. In the body the acids and bases need to be in very close balance‚ this is called ‘acid base homeostasis. If it goes off too far in either direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood

organ failure and potentially death (Kleinpell 2007). This essay will focus on hypovolemic shock in particular‚ and relate it to patient with complications following gastrointestinal bleeding. Hypovolemic shock is characterised as the body’s loss of fluids‚ such cases are haemorrhage due to trauma‚ dehydration as a result of vomiting and severe diarrhoea or from severe burns (Hand 2001). According to Kleinpell (2007)‚ there are four stages of shock : initial‚ compensatory‚ progressive and refractory

Nervosa The recurrent binge-and-purge cycles of bulimia can affect the entire digestive system and can lead to electrolyte and chemical imbalances in the body that affect the heart and other major organ functions. Some of the health consequences of bulimia nervosa include: • Electrolyte imbalances that can lead to irregular heartbeats and possibly heart failure and death. Electrolyte imbalance is caused by dehydration and loss of potassium‚ sodium and chloride from the body as a result of purging behaviours
