Chapter 20 Endocrine Anf Hematologic Emergencies Flashcards
The buildup of excess acid in the blood or body tissues that can result from a primary illness
Acidosis
A metabolic disorder in which the ability to metabolize carbohydrates sugar is impaired, usually because of a lack of insulin
Diabetes mellitus
A form of hyperglycemia, uncontrolled diabetes in which certain acid accumulate wheninsulin is not available
Diabetic ketoacidosis DKA
Glands that secrete or release chemicals that are used inside the body
Endocrine glands
The complex message and control system that integrates many body functions, including the release of hormones
Endocrine system
One of the basic sugars it is primary fuel in conjunction with oxygen for cellular metabolism
Glucose
The study and prevention of blood related disorders
Hematology
A hereditary condition in which the patient lots one or more of the bloods normal clotting factors
Hemophilia
Substances formed in specialized organs are glands in carried to another organ or group of cells in the same organism. They regulate many body functions, including metabolism, growth, and body temperature.
Hormones
Abnormally high blood glucose level
Hyperglycemia
A life-threatening condition, resulting from high blood glucose that typically occurs in older adults, and which causes altered mental status, dehydration, and organ damage
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome, HHNS
Abnormally low blood glucose level
Hypoglycemia
A hormone produced by the insets of Langerhans endocrine gland located throughout the pancreas that enables glucose in the blood to enter cells used in synthetic form to treat and control diabetes mellitus
Insulin
Deep, rapid breathing, usually the result of an accumulation of certain acids when insulin is not available in the body
Kussmaul respirations
Excessive thirst persist for a long period, despite reasonable fluid intake often the result of excessive urination
Polydipsia
Excessive, eating and diabetes. The ability to use glucose properly can cause a sense of hunger.
Polyphagia
The passage of an unusually large volume of yarn, and given. And diabetes this can result from wasting of glucose in the urine.
Polyuria
A hereditary disease that causes normal brown blood cells to become up long or sickle shape
Sickle cell disease
A state of unconsciousness resulting from several problems, including ketoacidosis dehydration, because of excessive urination and hyperglycemia
Symptomatic hyperglycemia
Severe hypo glycemia resulting in changes in mental status
Symptomatic hypoglycemia
A tendency toward the development, a blood clot as a result of abnormality of the system of coagulation
Thrombophilia
A blood clot, either in the arterial or venous system
Thrombosis
An auto immune disorder in which the individuals immune system produces antibodies to the pancreatic beta cells, and therefore the pancreas cannot produce insulin on set an early childhood is common
Type one diabetes
A condition in which insulin resistance develops in response to increased blood glucose levels can be managed by exercise and diet modification, but is often managed by medication’s
Type two diabetes
Ischemia and pain caused by sickle shaped red blood cells that obstruct blood flow to a portion of the body
Vaso-occlusive crisis
