This condition may be due to an abnormality or dysfunction of the adrenal gland, as in adrenal virilism.

 * F. Matching Hormones (Trisha)**

1. polyuria: YES = The excretion of excessively large amounts of urine. 2. polydispia: NO = Correct spelling: polydipsia = Excessive thirst. 3. glycasuria: NO = Correct spelling: glycosuria = The presence of sugar in the urine. 4. hyperglycemia: YES = Elevated blood sugar level. 5. hypoglycemia: YES = Less than normal blood sugar level. 6. gestational diabetes: YES = Condition occuring in pregnancy characterized by the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus (such as impared ability to metabolize carbohydrates due to insulin deficiency, and elevated blood sugar level). These symptoms usually disappear after delivery of the baby. 7. diabetes mellitis: NO= Correct spelling: diabetes mellitus = A disorder of the pancreas in which the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas fail to produce and adequate amount of insulin, resulting in the body's inability to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins appropriately. 8. hyperthroidism: NO = Correct spelling: hyperthyroidism = Overactivity of the thyroid gland; also called Graves disease. 9. exopthalmia: NO = Correct spelling: exophthalmia = An abnormal condition characterized by a marked outward protrusion of the eyeballs. 10. thyoxine: NO = Correct spelling: thyroxine: A hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. This hormone helps maintain normal body metabolism.
