33
Q

Myexdema

A

Water retention by carbs due to altered metabolsim and hypothyroidism

33
Q

A

Thyroid peroxidase for formation of thyroid hormones. Lesser extent, thyroglobulin antibodies.

34

Signs of hyperthyroidism

36
Q

Causes of goitre

A

Radiotherapy, iodine deficiency, lithium medication, Graves disease/hyperthyroidism

37
Q

Action of thionamides

A

Inhibit iodide oxidation of thyroid peroxidase

38
Q

Proteins other than albumin which bind to thyroid hormone

A

Thyroxine binding prealbumin and albumin

39
Q

Thyroid hormones effects- processes

A

Catabolic effect- Gluconegneesis, glycogenolysis, lipolysis, rpotein synthesis, glucose absorptionn, oxygen consumption

40
Q

Role of thyroid hormones in CNS

A

Nerve myelination, brain development, intellectual development and emotional stability

41
Q

Impact of surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism

A

Kidney stones, fragility fracture, weakness

42
Q

Lipid soluble hormones

A

Adrenal cortical hormones and gonadal hormones (oestrogen, testosterone, progesterone)

43
Q

A

Below 3rd brain ventricle

45
Q

What inhibits growth hormone release?

A

Somatostatin

46
Q

Somatostatin

A

Released from hypothalamus. Inhibits growth hormone, insulin, glucagon, gastrin and pancreatic enzymes and gastric secretion

47
Q

Adrenal insufficiency test

A

Synacthen test

48
Q

Test for secondary adrenal insufficnecy

A

Insulin stress test

49
Q

Cushing’s disease

A

Excess of steroid hromones due to pituitary issue which causes increased levels of ACTH

50

Q

Steroid excess

A

Cortisol decrease, ACTH decrease, CRH decrease

Gigantisim caused by excess growth hormones

59
Q

Ocreotide

A
