Answer:

Laxatives, which enhance bowel movements, are abused by the individuals who desire to lose weight and are suffering from eating disorders. Laxative abuse leads to extreme symptoms like hypokalemia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, acid-base disturbance, and weight loss.  

The majority of the laxatives are captivated by the colon and are discharged in feces or urine as metabolites. In the analysis of urine, the volume of urine gathered within a 24 hours duration is more than two liters. The level of sodium and chlorine reduces in urine and the levels of potassium will enhance in the urine.  

A change in electrolyte balance and changes in acid-base results, hypokalemia is the clinical characteristic of laxative abuse. The pH of urine will decline on the basis of the extremity of the abuse. The levels of creatinine will increase, and one can witness elevation in the secretion of renin and aldosterone because of the loss of fluid.

The MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) produces sharp, clear, images of brain structures with the use of magnetic fields.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a technology which uses magnetic field to form the images of the organs like brain that are sharp and clear.

It is used in radiology to form images of the organs that are to be diagnosed using strong magnetic field to generate the images.

It helps to monitor conditions of the brain, abdomen and chest along with the pelvic region of the body.

It is useful to detect the following conditions:

  • Tumors of the brain
  • Infection in the body
  • Headache causes
