your body.
Specific blood and urine tests can point to a diagnosis of diabetes insipidus, such
as
#*A high sodium level (hypernatraemia)*
,#*High concentration of the blood (serum or plasma osmolality)*,
#*Low urine concentration (urine osmolality).*
Goiter / iodine relationship - ANSWERS-Iodine deficiency is the most common
cause of goiter. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormone.
Insufficient iodine in the diet causes the thyroid gets larger to try and capture all
the iodine it can, so it can make the right amount of thyroid hormone.

narrowed, it limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is
, forced to pump blood with increased force to move blood through the narrowed
or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications - ANSWERS-Heart valve disease can cause many
complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
