elimination of urine. Formation and elimination of the urine is important for the human body because it contains nitrogenous wastes of the body that must be eliminated to maintain homeostasis. The urinary system is important for keeping the internal environment of the body clean. This particular system maintains proper homeostasis of water‚ salts and nitrogenous wastes (Iqba‚ 2010).

POTS patients that are hyperadrenergic have high levels of norepinephrine in their blood. This causes an increased heart rate and blood pressure (“Types of POTS
