Chloride is an essential mineral in the body. Its major roles include: helping maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, plays a big role in the digestive system, and helps regulate blood pressure. Chloride and potassium work together to help maintain the concentration and charge across cell membranes. Chloride is associated with Sodium and Potassium. Chloride is found mostly in table salt and sea salt, but can also be found in seaweed, rye, tomatoes, lettuces, celery, and olives. Processed food also

Blood and urine tests are the most common methods used to diagnose end-stage kidney disease. A blood and urine test can assess how well the kidneys are functioning, and the tests also determine things such as blood count and electrolyte levels. According to Huether and McCance, during renal failure vitamin D3 and phosphate are excreted in lower levels while phosphate excretion and calcium reabsorption are increased (1259). Test results with these indicators help in the diagnosis

This is a case report about about a 10-month-old caucasian infant presenting with chronic diarrhea, hypercalcemia, failure to thrive, and metabolic acidosis. The infant was diagnosed with SID, then prescribed a sucrose-restricted but normal calcium diet regimen to help stop her diarrhea, substantial weight gain, and resolution of hypercalcemia. The purpose of the report is to show how hypercalcemia may complicate neonatal SID and that the presence of both hypercalcemia and chronic diarrhea should

Module 1 – Discussion and Debate The endocrine system is comprised of organs, tissues, and cells that secrete hormones vital to homeostasis. There are two major coordination communication types of body function endocrine and neural. The endocrine coordination communication type involves the chemical signaling and releases hormones into the extracellular fluid. While the neural coordination communication involves both the chemical as well as the electrical signaling between neurons and target
