    • Diabetic ketoacidosis
    • Cerebral salt wasting
    • Diabetes Insipidus
    • Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone

On completion of the course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the normal anatomy and physiology of the renal system
  • Describe functions of the endocrine and exocrine glands
