Explain why vertebrate animals show allometric relationships with both metabolic rate and evaporative water loss.
The given data infers hypernatremia which indicates kidney problems or water imbalance in the body. Hypernatremia describes the conditions when the sodium in the blood is in excess amount. To cope with the sodium, the kidneys have to work for extra time; And this excess sodium could be removed only with water, so excess urination is observed. Now since water/fluid is lost by urination so to compensate for it the body sends signals of thirst and so the person feels increased thirst. This is why the patient complains of polyurea and polydipsia. Also, the low potassium levels and increased sodium levels indicate water imbalance If not treated, this may result in a higher risk of diseases such as stroke and hypertension. Can you suggest treatment for this situation please?
