Answer Scenario 1.
SIADH or syndrome of Antidiuretic Hormone is a physiological state of the body
when the body produces more amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). It makes the body to
hold much water. The patient has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus along with neuropathy.
Depression is also one common cause for this development (Yasir & Mechanic, 2019).
Answer Scenario 2.
The patient has developed this condition of adrenal insufficiency due to the prolong
period of rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease damaging the cells. The
pituitary gland stops sensing the drug, which in turn lowers the secretion of corticotrophin.
The lack of ACTH results in vomiting, nausea and weight loss (Allen & Sharma, 2019).
Answer Scenario 3.
The hyperparathyroidism is caused by the over production of parathyroid hormone in
the body. The hormone raises the calcium concentration in the bones and absorption in the
small intestine resulting in high level of blood-calcium volume developing
hyperparathyroidism (Pokhrel & Levine, 2019).
Answer Scenario 4.
The renal stones are made of calcium that is caused due to hyperparathyroidism as
this hormone raises the calcium concentration in the body. The body of the patient consists of
salts along with calcium oxalate resulting in renal acidosis (Lila et al., 2012).
Hyperparathyroidism develops hypercalcemia along with development of
osteoporosis, which makes the bone weak and prone to break.
Answer Scenario 5.

CASE STUDY
2
The problem of hypothyroidism can result in the development of cardiovascular
diseases, infertility problem, neurological issues and even death. The complication can be
caused due to the lower production of thyroid hormone in the body developing myxoedema
(Chaker et al., 2017).
Answer Scenario. 6.
1. Polydipsia is caused by increased level of blood glucose in the body along with a
feeling of thirsty. The body losses adequate amount of water by urination (Trimpou et
al., 2017).
2. Polyuria is a condition of body where more amount of urine is excreted from the
body. The kidneys filter more amount of water resulting in this condition (Trimpou et
al., 2017).
3. Diabetes results in using more amount of energy, burn fats due to loss of
carbohydrates from the body. To body tries to get energy from the rest part resulting
in weight loss.
4. Fatigue occurs due to lack of insulin or resistance of insulin, it damages the body’s
capacity to acquire more energy.
5. The environmental factor that cause type1 diabetes are entervirus infection that effects
the pancreas and the genetic factor that develop this condition are HLA-DQB1, HLA-
DRB1 and HLA-DQA1.
Answer Scenario 7.
Epinephrine origins a rapid increase in blood glucose absorption in the post absorptive
state. This result is facilitated by a brief increase in hepatic glucose construction and an
inhibition of glucose removal by insulin-dependent tissues resulting in ketoacidosis. The
