Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The levels of the hormone in the blood of the person suffering from liver and kidney disease.
Introduction:
The endocrine system releases various hormones that function to regulate different physiological processes of the body. The hormones control vital processes like electrolyte balance, temperature regulation, and osmotic balance.

Consider a hormone that is secreted in large amounts at a given interval, modified chemically by the liver, and excreted by the kidneys at arapid rate, thus making the half-life of the hormone in the circulatorysystem very short. The hormone therefore rapidly increases in theblood and then decreases rapidly. Suppose that a patient has both liverand kidney disease. Predict the consequences on the blood levels ofthat hormone.
The kidneys are important regulators of blood volume (and thus MAP) and the ionic composition and pH of plasma . The amount of water reabsorbed or lost is hormonally regulated. Both the amount of blood that is filtered (glomerular filtration rate) and the amount of water that is reabsorbed is determined by hormones binding with receptors. In order to understand why the level of any given hormone is elevated or low in the blood, it is necessary to think in terms of homeostasis loops for each hormone, and what the initial disturbance to homeostasis was. In other words “who started it”!
What NON STEROID hormone is produced at the end (but as part of) of the RAS pathway?

- Hyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium ions in the blood is severely low. This condition can occur in endurance sports such as ultra running. One cause of hyponatremia is when athletes consume too much water.The hormone that is secreted by the body to increase the absorption of sodium ions and the gland that secretes it are, respectively: Select one: a. Hormone Gland Aldosterone Adrenal cortex b. Hormone Gland ADH Posterior pituitary c. Hormone Gland ADH Adrenal cortex d. Hormone Gland Aldosterone Posterior pituitaryarrow_forwardIn an emergency situation, fluids are given intravenously to a patient. The fluids increase the blood volume. Increasing the blood volume can help to increase the patient’s blood pressure.A hormone in the body that increases blood pressure and the mechanism it uses to do this are, respectively Select one: a. Hormone Mechanism ADH Increases water absorption in the kidneys b. Hormone Mechanism Oxytocin Increases smooth muscle contractions c. Hormone Mechanism ADH Decreases water absorption in the kidneys d. Hormone Mechanism Oxytocin Decreases smooth muscle contractionsarrow_forwardAlcohol and caffeine inhibit the effects of antidiuretic hormone.Explain why drinking beer or coffee increases the frequency ofurination.
