“Water-Electrolyte Imbalance (Water-Electrolyte Disturbance)”  

Water-Electrolyte Imbalance

  In our body, Water-Electrolyte Imbalance (Water-Electrolyte Disturbance), as a metabolic dis-order, are electrolytic disturbances in the body's water-electrolyte balance.
  Examples of some water-electrolyte imbalances:

• hypercalcemia
• hyperkalemia (hyperpotassemia)
• hypernatremia
• hypocalcemia
• hypokalemia (hypopotassemia)
• hyponatremia
• inappropriate ADH syndrome
• water intoxication
• dehydration

“Pituitary Gland Diseases, Disorders, and Health Challenges”  

Pituitary Disorders

  In our body's pituitary gland, Pituitary Diseases (Pituitary Disorders) are endocrine system dis-eases indicative to a specific set of signs, symptoms or other health indicators, involving either the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) or the neurohypophysis, usually manifested as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of pituitary hormones.
  Examples of pituitary related dis-orders & dis-eases include:

• Diabetes Insipidus
  • Neurogenic Diabetes Insipidus
  • Wolfram Syndrome
• empty sella syndromes (empty sella turcica syndromes)
• hyperpituitarism
  • acromegaly
  • hyperprolactinemia
  • pituitary ACTH hypersecretion
• hypophysitis
  • autoimmune hypophysitis
• hypopituitarism
  • pituitary dwarfism
• Inappropriate ADH syndrome
• pituitary apoplexy
• pituitary neoplasms
  • ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma +
  • Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma
  • Prolactinoma

“Hypercalcemia”  

  In our body's blood, the calcium metabolic dis-order, Hypercalcemia, as a water-electrolyte imbalance, is the pathologic process of an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood.
  In our body, the Hypercalcemia is the allopathic name, indicative to a specific set of signs, symptoms or other health indicators, associated with a high blood calcium level health challenge. **

“Hyperkalemia (Hyperpotassemia)”  

Hyperpotassemia (Hyperkalemia)

  In our body's blood, Hyperkalemia (Hyperpotassemia) is an abnormally high potassium concentration, often due to defective renal excretion.
  In our body, the dis-ease, , Hyperkalemia (Hyperpotassemia) is the allopathic name, indicative to a specific set of signs, symptoms or other health indicators, characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated T waves and depressed P waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). **

“Hypocalcemia”  

  In our body's blood, the calcium metabolic dis-order, Hypocalcemia is associated with an abnormally low blood calcium level, manifestations include hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, chvostek's sign, muscle and abdominal cramps, and carpopedal spasm.
  In our body, Hypocalcemia is a reduction of the circulating blood calcium levels below normal, that may be caused by hypoparathyroidism and other dis-orders which may then lead to tetany. **

“Inappropriate ADH Syndrome (Syndrome of Inappropraite Antidiuretic Hormone)”  

Syndrome of Inappropraite Antidiuretic Hormone (Schwartz-Bartter syndrome)

  In our body, Inappropriate ADH syndrome (Syndrome of Inappropraite Antidiuretic Hormone) is a hyponatremia condition and renal salt loss attributed to overexpansion of body fluids (bodily fluids) resulting from sustained excessive release of antidiuretic hormones (vasopressins), from the posterior pituitary gland, which stimulates renal resorption of water.
  In our body, the pituitary dis-order, Inappropriate ADH syndrome is a water-electrolyte imbalance, characterized by normal kidney function, high urine osmolality, low serum osmolality, and neurological dysfunction. **
