Question

a. Diabetes mellitus (defect in insulin) b. Diabetes insipidus (defect in ADH) c. Chronic renal disease d. Acromegaly (overproduction of growth hormone) e. Myxdema (hypothyroid edems)

Answer 1

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder caused by underproduction of ADH, resulting in increased urination and chronic dehydration. Severe cases can cause electrolyte imbalances.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diabetes insipidus is a disorder caused by underproduction of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This results in the inability of the kidneys to retain water, leading to increased urination and chronic dehydration. Severe cases can cause electrolyte imbalances and require treatment.
