It is caused by chemical changes in the body and in the brain. When you drink in large quantities and often, the brain is always exposed to the effects of alcohol.

Alcohol Withdrawal
Stop drinking can be the ordeal for people who have alcohol addiction.
Alcohol withdrawal is a set of annoying symptoms that appear when a person stops
drinking alcohol at any moment.
It is caused by chemical changes in the body and in the brain. When you drink in
large quantities and often, the brain is always exposed to the effects of alcohol.
This makes it fit and adapt to their consumption habits by producing certain
chemicals in greater proportions than usual, which causes the brain is overblown
and hyperactive.
If the consumption of alcohol stops suddenly, the brain remains hyperactive and
then the signs and symptoms of the withdrawal syndrome appear.
Data from Mayo Clinic indicate that the symptoms of abstinence are:
• Anxiety
• Confusion or seeing and hearing things that do not exist (hallucinations)
• Increase in blood pressure
• Loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting
• Temperature increase
• Seizures
• Tremors
• Depression
• Fatigue
Frequently, a type of medication known as benzodiazepines serves to reduce a
range of symptoms.
Treatment, even if they do not want
The treatment of alcoholics begins with the recognition of the problem.
Alcoholism is associated with denial, which allows the patient to be sure they do

not need treatment. Most people with alcohol dependence access treatment under
pressure from others. The voluntary acceptance of the need for treatment is very
rare.
Detoxification is the second phase of treatment. Alcohol is hidden under control.
Supervision is established. Tranquilizers and sedatives are prescribed to relieve and
control the effects of abstinence. This can last from 5 to 7 days. Medical
examination of other problems is necessary since liver diseases and other blood
problems are common.
It is very important to follow a diet with vitamin supplements; and have a clear
awareness that complications associated with acute physical symptoms can appear,
such as depression and other problems that must be treated.

Damage to the spinal cord above the sacral region causes reflex incontinence. This condition causes loss of voluntary control of urination; but the micturition reflex pathway often remains intact, allowing urination to occur without sensation of the need to void Overflow incontinence occurs when a bladder is overly full and bladder pressure exceeds sphincter pressure, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine. Causes often include head injury; spinal injury; multiple sclerosis; diabetes; trauma to the urinary system; and postanesthesia sedatives/hypnotics, tricyclics, and analgesia Hyperreflexia, a life-threatening problem affecting heart rate and blood pressure, is caused by an overly full bladder. It is usually neurogenic in nature; however, it can be caused functionally by blockage Diseases that cause irreversible damage to kidney tissue result in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). uremic syndrome- An increase in nitrogenous wastes in the blood, marked fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, nausea, vomiting, headache, coma, and convulsions characterize this syndrome. As the uremic symptoms worsen, aggressive treatment is indicated for survival Nocturia - awakening to void one or more times at night An excessive output of urine is polyuria. . A urine output that is decreased despite normal intake is called oliguria. increased urine formation (diuresis) a stoma (artificial opening) Urinary Retention. Urinary retention is an accumulation of urine resulting from an inability of the bladder to empty properly. URINE OVERFLOW- The sphincter temporarily opens to allow a small volume of urine (25 to 60 mL) to escape. With retention a patient may void small amounts of urine 2 or 3 times an hour with no real relief of discomfort or may continually dribble urine. pain or burning during urination (dysuria) as urine flows over inflamed tissues blood-tinged urine (hematuria) Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine that is sufficient to be a problem. It can be either temporary or permanent, continuous or intermittentUrinary elimination depends on the function of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Kidneys remove wastes from the blood to form urine. Ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder holds urine until the urge to urinate develops. Urine leaves the body through the urethra. All organs of the urinary system must be intact and functional for successful removal of urinary wastes. Intact efferent and afferent nerves from the bladder to the spinal cord and brain must be present INTAKE AND OUTPUT OF URINE Assess the patient’s average daily fluid intake. at home, ask him or her to estimate his or her intake by showing a measurement on a commonly used glass or cup Special receptacles (urimeters) that attach between indwelling catheters and drainage bags are a convenient means of accurately measuring urine volume. A urimeter holds 100 to 200 mL of urine. After measuring urine from a urimeter, drain the cylinder
