Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central Diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.
Insufficient production of ADH causes diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes Insipidus
Diabetes insipidus
Hypothalamic ("central") diabetes insipidus. It is a hormonal disorder, in what either not enough antidiuretic hormone was made by hypothalamus, or not enough was released by the pituitary gland. The result is frequent, large volume urination as the body's water (fluid) balancing ability is disturbed.
ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone)The brain and kidneys regulate the amount of water excreted by the body. When the blood volume is low, the concentration of solutes in the blood is high. When the hypothalamus senses this low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule. The pituitary gland then releases ADH into the bloodstream and causes the kidneys to retain water by concentrating the urine and reducing urine volume. Water retention boosts blood volume and decreases serum osmolality.
Yes. You are right. Addison's disease is caused by deficiency of the secretion of the adrenal cortex.
Failure to meet your nutrients needed may result in a deficiency disease.
diabetes mellitus
water retentionStudies have shown that a deficiency of Vitamin B12 can lead to abnormal neurological and psychiatric.
Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide.
hyposecretion is when not enough (hypo=low) of a certain substance (usually a hormone) is being secreted(released) into the bloodstream etc. For example, a hyposecretion of growth hormone would result in that individual in having pituitary-dwarfism.
Malnutrition disorders such as marasmus result from decreased dietary intake of fats/oils and other calories except protein. Malabsorption syndromes such as Tropical Sprue and Celiac's disease can produce fat deficiency symptoms.
Pituitary tumors are the commonest primary intracranial tumors. Panhypopituitarism is unusual as a primary result of a pituitary tumor. Endocrine dysfuncion, particulary reproductive dysfuncion, is common due to GnRh deficiency. Others problem are, hyperprolactinemia, acromegaly, diabetes insipidus, adipsic hypernatremia, syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone, hyperthyroisism or hypothyroisism, Cushing Syndrome, Addison disease, hypo or hyperaldosteronism, hypertension, etc, symptoms will dependent on what part of the gland is affect and how.
The drug cerezyme is prescribed for people who have Type 1 Gaucher disease because they have a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. This can result in an enlarged spleen and bone disease.
Well a diet to low in fat can cause malnutrition from fat-soluble essential nutrients. This causes deficiency diseases. For example, rickets can be caused by lack of vitamin D, a fat soluble nutrient. Vitamin K deficiency is often result of fat malabsorption and that can result in hemorrhagic disease.
