42
Define Diabetes Insipidus
Deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which causes extreme thirst (polydipsia) and large quantities of urine (polyuria)

What does PKD stand for?
Polycystic Kidney disease
48
What is polycystic kidney disease?
Inherited disorder by enlargement of the kidneys caused by renal cysts that reduce the function of the tissue

Chronic kidney disease(formerly Chronic renal failure)
51
What is stage 5 of CKD called?
End stage renal disease (ESRD)
52
What is chronic kidney disease?
Kidney failure measured in five stages, 1 being mild damage and normal function, 5 being end stage renal disease requiring transplant or dialysis
53

71
Antispasmodics are...?
