Here is a List Of Homeostatic Imbalance Diseases and their causes:

1. Diabetes – caused by imbalance in insulin production or insulin sensitivity.
2. Hypertension – caused by imbalance in blood pressure regulation.
3. Hyperthyroidism – caused by imbalance in thyroid hormone production.
4. Hypothyroidism – caused by imbalance in thyroid hormone production.
5. Addison’s disease – caused by imbalance in cortisol production.
6. Cushing’s syndrome – caused by imbalance in cortisol production.
7. Acromegaly – caused by imbalance in growth hormone production.
8. Hypoglycemia – caused by imbalance in blood glucose levels.
9. Hyperthermia – caused by imbalance in body temperature regulation.
10. Hypothermia – caused by imbalance in body temperature regulation.
11. Dehydration – caused by imbalance in fluid levels.
12. Water intoxication – caused by imbalance in fluid levels.
13. Electrolyte imbalances – caused by imbalance in electrolyte levels in the blood.
14. Anemia – caused by imbalance in red blood cell production or destruction.
