| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| ADDISON DISEASE | hyposecretion of adrenal hormones, resulting in weakmess, reduced blood glucose nausea, loss of appetite and weight loss |
| CARDIOMYOPATHY | Disease of cardiac muscle (i.e., the myocardium), resulting in loss of pumping efficiency (heart failure) |
| DIABETES MELLITUS (T1) | Hyposecretion of insulin by the pancreas, resulting in extremely elevated blood glucose levels (in turn causing a host of metabolic problems, even death if untreated) |
| GLOMERULONEPHRITIS | Disease of the filtration apparatus of the kidney (renal corpuscle), resulting in fluid and electrolyte imbalance and possibly total kidney failure and death |
| GRAVES DISEASE (T1 OF HYPERTHYROIDISM) | Hypersecretion of thyroid hormone and resulting increase in metabolic rate |
| HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA | Condition of low RBC count in the blood resulting from excessive destruction of mature RBCs (hemolysis) |
| HYPOTHYROIDISM | Hyposecretion of thyroid hormone in adulthood, causing decreased metabolic rate and characterized by reduced mental and physical vigor, weight gain, hair loss, and edema |
| MULTIPLE SCEROSIS | Progressive degeneration of myelin sheaths, resulting in widespread impairment of nerve function (especially muscle control) |
| MYASTHENIA GRAVIS | Muscle disorder characterized by progressive weakness and chronic fatigue |
| PERNICIOUS ANEMIA | bnormally low RBC count resulting from the inability to absorb vitamin B12, a substance critical to RBC production |
