Conn's disease {Ans: Hyperaldosteronism (too much aldosterone)}Aldosterone Function {Ans: "salt-retaining hormone" which promotes the retention of sodium by the kidneys. Sodium retention promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood volume and pressure.}anti-diuretic hormone {Ans: retain water}Anti-Diuretic hormone is found in the {Ans: Pituitary gland}Hypervolemia causes {Ans: 1. Heart Failure: Cardiac output is down / Kidney perfusion is down / Urinary output is down 2. Renal Failure: Kidneys are NOT working 3. Retain Sodium: Retain water in vascular space}Addison's disease {Ans: a condition that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol or aldosterone causing a fluid volume deficit}Cushing's disease {Ans: too much aldosterone (fluid volume excess)}Too little Anti-diuretic Hormone {Ans: 1. Not enough water (diurease) 2. Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) 3.Diabetes Insipidus 4. Urine is dilute 5. Blood is conmcentrated}Aldosterone {Ans: Hormone that stimulates the kidney to retain sodium ions and water IE: aldosterone = retain sodium/water = blood volume goes up (so this is activated when there is a fluid volume deficit)}Hypervolemia {Ans: Fluid Volume Excess (too much fluid in vascular space)}What when concentrated makes the numbers go up and when dilute makes the numbers go
