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.

Answer:
<u>Ethanol prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u>
Explanation:
Ethylene glycol is an organic compound usually used in antifreeze solutions, solvents and cleaners.
It is abused during self-destruction and accidental intakes.
<u>In the body, ethylene glycol is acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase and is converted into glycolate and oxalate.</u>
Glycolate and oxalate are both nephrotoxic/ kidney damaging substances. Oxalate precipitates calcium oxalate stones in the kidney. Ethylene glycol poisoning also causes high anion gap metabolic acidosis.
In order to prevent ethylene glycol poisoning, the patient is infused with ethanol, ethanol <u>prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u> In this way, ethylene glycol is not metabolized and the formation of nephrotoxic substances is prevented. Alcohol dehydrogenase instead reacts with ethanol to form acetaldehyde.
