Explanation: Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis which affects the tissues of the respiratory system especially the lungs.

Tuberculosis can be in a latent form and active form.In latent tuberculosis,the individual habours the causative organism but with no obvious signs and symptoms and can only shows signs and symptoms following the weakening of the immune system. while in active Tuberculosis,the individual habouring the mycobacterium tuberculosis presents with obvious signs and symptoms of the disease and is sick from it.

Symptoms ranges from weightlessness,drenching night sweats, persistent cough,fever,chills and generalized body weakness.

Tuberculosis significantly lowers blood sodium level from the normal range of (135 - 145mEq/L), increases potassium level from the normal range of (3.5 - 5.0 mEq/L), increases blood creatinine level from the normal range of (0.6 - 1.2mg/dL) and increases Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) from the normal range of( 7 - 20mg/dl).

Treatment is by the administration of antibiotics like Isoniazid and ethambutol to combat and eliminate the mycobacterium tuberculosis.
