of the oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ oesophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestines and large intestines. The Renal (urinary system) consists of the kidneys‚ ureters‚ urinary tract and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters‚ urinary bladder and urethra form the urinary tract‚ which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys‚ store it and then release it during urination. The Nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body’s activities. It

Simple squamous epithelium lines all blood and lymphatic vessel‚ including the heart‚ air cells of the lung and certain tubules of the kidney. Filtration or diffusion occurs rapidly across this thin epithelial sheet. Cuboiodal and columnar cells line glands and the digestive tract and are involved in secretion‚ absorption.

The mutation of the gene causes a build up to harmful levels in the eyes‚ kidneys‚ autonomic nervous system‚ and cardiovascular system. It is an x-linked recessive inheritance. Therefore it is the females that carry it. The ones who are mostly affected by this disease are the males. Female’s carriers‚ though‚ may develop angiokeratomas and may have problems with burning pains. Very few of the carriers may also have kidney or heart problems. This disease occurs in 1 out of 40‚000 to 60‚000 people

In the early stages of hepatic disease‚ systemic and renal hemodynamic variations are found while kidney function tests are normal. The dynamic monitoring of haemodynamic changes in the kidney are important for determining renal blood flow and predicting the development of HRS in patients with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension (Wang et al.‚ 2011).

Consequences for Hypomagnesaemia Serum magnesium concentration is seldom being measured in routine blood tests. Thus‚ to identify this issue‚ it requires direct measure in clinical situations that usually associated with the disturbance of magnesium homeostasis‚ such as chronic diarrhoea‚ hypokalaemia‚ cardiac arrhythmias and hypocalcaemia. Hypomagnesaemia has been observed in 12%of hospitalized patients‚ and the incidence may rise above 60% in patients in ICU. Magnesium deficiency produces in a variety
