  2. Hypothalmus Neurogenic Diabetes Insipidus Tertiary Hypothyroidism Deficiency of TRH. • Occurs due to low levels of ADH production from the hypothalamus.

  3. Kidneys Nephrotic syndrome Kidney stones Small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys. • The filters in the kidney leak an excessive amount of protein.

  4. Pituitary Acromegaly Hypopituitarism The pituitary gland either fails to produce one or more of its hormones or doesn't produce enough of them. • Acromegaly is caused by prolonged overproduction of GH(growth hormones) by the pituitary gland

  6. Thyroid Graves Disease Goiter Enlargement of the thyroid gland • Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism).

  7. Gastrointestinal microscopic colitis Celiac disease Digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. • Inflammation of the bowel.

  8. Adrenal gland Cushing's Syndrome Addison's disease When your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones. • Long-term exposure to too much cortisol
