, these hormone is responsible for controlling the calcium levels in the body but in excess these extracts the calcium out of the bones thus making it porous, fragile and causing osteoporosis
C. the patient developing anuria will have exces of ADH(antidiuretic hormone) , these hormone is produced by the hypothalamus in brain and is stored in the posterior pituitary gland. it regulates the water in the blood thus directing kidneys to guide the amount of water to be stored. excess of these causes anuria.
