Question

1. A 40-year-old female had hypertension and anuria. Lab results revealed hypernatremia and hypokalemia. Blood glucose level was normal. Urinalysis did not detect glycosuria. Patient had an excessive high level of the following hormone:

1. Antidiuretic Hormone

2. Aldosterone

3. Erythropoietin

4. Insulin

5. None of the Above

2. Patient in question #1 had the following disorder:

1. Diabetes Insipidus

2. Diabetes Mellitus

3. Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone

4. Hyperaldosteronism (Excessive Secretion of Aldosterone)

5. Hypoaldosteronism (Decreased Secretion of Aldosterone)

3. Patient in question #1 had the following acid base imbalance:

1. Metabolic Acidosis

2. Metabolic Alkalosis

3. Respiratory Acidosis

4. Respiratory Alkalosis

5. None of the Above

Answer 1

Answer-

1-b- aldosterone.

Aldosterone is amineralocorticoid produced by adrenal cortex . The main function is sodium conservation . aldosteron regulates sodium and potassium levels in blood and stimulates renal tubules to absorb sodium and in return secrete pottasium ions into urine . Causing hypernatremia which in turn causes water retention ,increases blood volume ,increases cardiac output and arterial pressure leading to hypertension

2- d- hyperaldosteronism.

Is a condition resulting from excess secretion of aldosterone from adrenal glands

3-a- metabolic acidosis

Since there is reabsorption of sodium and secretion of pottassium as mentioned above results in hypernatremia and hypokalemia which causes metabolic acidosis because H+ ions move out of cell to balance K+ loss. So blood ph decreases ,hence acidosis.

If this helps please give it a positive rating thank you!
