Micheal might be suffering from diabetes insipidus.

Diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the affected person has the urge to pee a lot and feels thirsty all the time. Even though it is not directly related to diabetes, it is named as such because the affected person has symptoms similar to diabetes. The two main symptoms are polydipsia and polyuria.

Cause of Diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is caused by the lack of production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is produced by the hypothalamus which then gets stored in the pituitary gland. When the person was subjected to surgery to remove the entire mass of cancer cells in the pituitary gland, the ability of the gland to store ADH could have been lost.

The ADH allows the retention of water by concentrating the urine. In a person with diabetes insipidus, the production of AHD is affected, and in very rare cases the response by the kidneys to ADH is reduced which also reduces the water reabsorption and increases urine volume.

Olenka [21]

The nurse will assess the infant for <u>signs of drug toxicity</u>.

Some drugs have a narrow therapeutic index, which means that there is only a small difference between the minimum effective concentrations and the minimum toxic concentrations in the blood. With such drugs, small increases in dose or in blood/serum concentrations could lead to toxic effects.

Nephrotoxicity can show signs of other types of decreased kidney function, such as decreased urination, swelling from fluid retention and high blood pressure. In some patients, nephrotoxicity can affect other body systems such as the liver or the skin and show signs in those areas as well.

Macromolecules are transported from one space to another through a process of transcytosis or transcellular transport. It consists of a series of steps that will allow the mobility of macromolecules from one extracellular space to another, through the cellular menbrain, through a vesicle formation process. These vesicles maintain a certain load inside. The processes that are generated for the transcytosis process are those of endocytosis and exocytosis.
