7. Endocrine Flashcards
1
Q
Hormone Physiology Pathway
Thyroid/Adrenal/Overies
A
- TRH (HypoThalamus) -> TSH (Pituitary) -> T3/4 (Thyroid gland)
- CRH (HypoThalamus) ->ACTH (Pituitary) -> Cortisol (Adrenal gland)
- GnRH (HypoThalamus) ->FSH, LH (Pituitary) -> Overies - Estrogen, Progesterone, Testes - Testosterone

Q
Primary adrenal insufficiency
2 type Cause/Sx/PE/Dx/Tx
A
- Cause
- Primary: autoimmune destory adrenal cortex (low cortisol)
- Secondary: prolong steriod use
- PE: hyperpigmentation
- Lab: Hyponatremia, Hypoglycemia, Hyperkalemia
- Dx: stimulate ACTH morning test (Normal - cortisol increase, None - addision)
- If ACTH test is normal Try CRH
- Give CRH
- ACTH rise + low cortisol = Adrenal problem
- ACTH low + low cortisol = pituitary problem
- Tx: Glucocorticoid (Hydrocortisone) + Mineralocorticoid (Fludrocortisone)
3
Q
Cushing syndrome
2 cause/Sx/Dx/Tx
A
- Cause
- Cushing disease: pituitary tumor
- Cushing syndrome: high cortisol (steroid use)

- Dx
- Initial test
- Dexametasone test
- Cortisol collecting (24 hr urine)
- Salivary cortisol
- Plasma ACTH check
- ACTH low - adrenal problem
- ACTH high - Pituitary adenoma or ectopic
- High dose dexamethason supressing test (Dex supress ACTH which lead lower cortisol)
- If test fail - ectopic
- If test works - Pituitary adenoma
- High dose dexamethason supressing test (Dex supress ACTH which lead lower cortisol)
- Initial test
