Q

What can cause Polyuria?

A

Diabetes insipidus and mellitus

Renal failure, high calcium and low potassium

22
Q

How does calcium cause polyuria?

A

Inhibits Gs preventing ADH on V2 receptor to absorb water via luminal AQP2 insertion

23
Q

Familial hypocalciuria hypercalcaemia is genetically?

A

Autosomal dominant, loss of function of calcium receptor

24
Q

To exclude FHH you would

A

Ca:cr ratio over 0.01

25
Q

MEN1 is for 3Ps?

A

Pituitary adenoma,
Parathyroid hyperplasia
Pancreatic tumours

Cause primary hyperparathyroidism is uncommon in younger people

26
Q

MEN2 is for 3cs?

A

Calcitonin:
Medullary thyroid carcinoma

Calcium:
Parathyroid hyperplasia

Catecholamines:
Pheochromocytoma

27
Q

Calcitonin is used to distinguish between?

A

C cell hyperplasia from medullary c cell carcinoma,

Pentagastrin stimulated values should be used

28
Q

Problems with CKD mineral bone disease 3 hyperparathyroidism?

A

Reduced glomerular filtration of phosphate and impaired renal tubular response leads to phosphate retention

Reduced renal mass causing less activity of 1a hydroxylase so failure to increase calcitrol

29
Q

Pseudohypoprathyroidism?

A

PTH resistance GNAS heterozygous mutation , G protein that couples the PTH receptor to adenylate cyclase

30
Q

Pseudohypoparathyroidism- Albright hereditary osteodystrophy phenotype?

A

Short stature, short 4/5 metacarpals and or metatarsals, round facies obesity and mild mental retardation

31
Q

Weird aspect of pseudohypoparathyroidism?

A

If mutant gene from mum then biochemical and physical features- genetic imprinting

If from father only physical features- PTH receptor not in kidney

32
Q

Genetic imprinting?

A

Only a maternal or paternal gene is imprinted and not both

33
Q

Pagets disease?

A

Dysregulated bone growth, immobilisation
Hypercalcaemia

High ALP

34
Q

Calcium alkali syndrome?

A

Triad of hypercalcaemia, metabolic alkalosis and AKI renal insufficiency due to ingestion of large amounts of calcium and absorbable alkali

35
Q

How do sarcoidosis cause hypercalcaemia?

A

Granulomas produce ACE, and a1 hydroxylase activates vit D

36
Q

EDTA contamination causes what?

A

Chelation of ions such as calcium, magnesium and zinc

ALP needs zinc as cofactor so low activity

37
Q

Difference between diabetes insipidus and mellitus?

A

In mellitus blood glucose levels are high

38
Q

ECaC2 can be found in?

A

Intestine

39
Q

ECaC1 can be found in?

A

Kidney

40
Q

What does active vitamin D do?

A

Gene transcription, phosphorylation of channels and insertion of ECaC rich vesicles

41
Q

Low magnesium does what?

A

Inhibits release of PTH

42
Q

What does PTHrP do?

A

Stimulated transport of calcium across placenta

Contributes to the bone loss during lactation

43
Q

What is calcitonin a marker for?

A

Tumour marker for medullary carcinoma of thyroid

44
Q

Adjusted calcium equation?

A

Calcium + 0.02* (40-albumin)

45
Q

Normocalcaemia hyperparathyroidism causes?

A

Primary hyperparathyroidism, vit D deficiency, CKD, acute illness, malabsorption dietary and drugs

46
Q

High ALP can be suggestive of?

A

Hyperparathyroidism

47
Q

FHH equation

A

Urine calcium x plasma creatnine/1000
Over
Calcium plasma x urine creatnine

48
Q

Sarcoid is?

A

Inflamed cells clump otgether to make small lumps called granulomas

49
Q

PTH responds to?

A

fall in plasma ionised calcium (acute)

- rise in plasma phosphate (chronic)

50
Q

What is the main tumour marker for medullary carcinoma of the thyroid?

A

Calcitonin

51
Q

Normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism causes?

A 
Primary hyperparathyroidism
Vit d deficiency 
CKD- low 1,25 D, high PTH due to hyper phosphataemia
Acute illness
Malabsorption 
Drugs
52
Q

What is the Ca:Cr ratio?

A

Urine calcium x plasma creatinine

/

Plasma calcium x urine creatnine
