Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Water is the major component of body fluids and therefore its concentration is carefully regulated by the body. the uptake of water and the loss of water either by urine, sweating, excretion is regulated by various mechanisms. A slight change in water volume in body fluids leads to a chain of responses by different systems of the body to maintain the balance. The decrease in water volume is generally compensated by water uptake which is regulated by various systems working together.

- Hyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone release) can be caused by many disease states including tumours in the adrenal gland. By now, we should be familiar with how this will affect sodium balance and blood pressure, but how would hyperaldosteronism affect potassium levels and why? Select one potassium effect (a or b) and one cause (c-f). a. The patient will become hyperkalemic. O b. The patient will become hypokalemic. O c. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct.
