- testicular atrophy

25
Skin/extremity findings on PE that indicate possible eating disorder (7)
- Delayed cap refill - Cool to touch - Excoriations/callouses on back of hands (Russell’s sign) - Acrocyanosis (cold/pale hands, not Raynaud’s) - Lanugo – baby hair - Pallor - Easy brusing/petechiae
26
Neuro/psych findings on PE that indicate possible eating disorder (5)
- Psychomotor retardation - Abnormal mini mental status exam - Flat, constricted affect - Self-injury marks (arms, thighs, abdomen) - Muscular weakness and atrophy
27
CBC findings that indicate possible eating disorder (3)
- leukopenia - anemia - thrombocytopenia
28
LFT findings that indicate possible eating disorder (1)
- elevated AST and ALT
29
BMP findings that indicate possible eating disorder (4)
- electrolyte disturbances - metabolic alkalosis - elevated BUN/Cr - Hypoglycemia
30
common electrolyte disturbances found in eating disorders
- Hyponatremia if over hydrated | - Vomiting: hypokalemia, hypercapnia, hypochloremia
31
Other lab findings that indicate possible eating disorder (5)
- low estrogen/testosterone - low FSH/LH - high amylase/lipase - elevated cholesterol - thyroid (high reverse T3, low free T4)
32

36
Screening questionnaire to determine presence of eating disorder
SCOFF screening tool
37
Criteria for medical admission d/t eating disorder (13)
- Severe malnutrition (<75% of IBW) - Dehydration - Electrolyte abnormalities - Cardiac arrhythmias - Growth arrest - Physiologic instability - Failure of outpt therapy - Acute food refusal (<500 calories/day) - Uncontrollable bingeing and purging - Medical complications - Psych emergency (suicidal intentions) - Co-morbid diagnosis that interferes with t - Family respite
38
Physiologic instability (3)
HR < 50 BP < 90/45 Temp < 96F
39
sequence of events that leads to refeeding syndrome
- Starvation/ malnutrition - Glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, protein catabolism - Protein, fat, mineral, electrolyte, vitamin depletion, salt and water intolerance - Refeeding – switch to anabolism - Fluid, salt, nutrients (carbs) → insulin secretion - Protein and glycogen synthesis (increased glucose, increased use of thiamine, increased intake into cell of K, Mg, PO4 - Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, thiamine deficiency, salt and water retention (edema)
40
Risk factors for refeeding syndrome (5)
- <70% IBW - Abrupt weight loss - Sudden carb load - Starvation 5-10 days prior to refeeding - Low levels of K, Mg, phos before refeeding started * *Highest risk during first two weeks of nutritional replenishment
41
4 vitamin/mineral deficiencies and associated manifestations seen in eating disorders
- Zinc deficiency: acrodermatitis enteropathica (rash on face) - B12 Deficiency: angular chelitis - Biotin (B7) deficiency: hair loss - Thiamin B1 deficiency: confusion, Wernicke’s encephalopathy
42
How to treat malnutrition of eating disorder to avoid development of refeeding syndrome
- Feed slowly – 250 kcal/day increase - Space meals – 3 meals and 3 snacks - Zinc, multivitamin, vitamin D
43
Cardiovascular complications associated with eating disorders (5)
- Reduced cardiac mass, chamber volume - Mitral valve prolapse - Myocardial fibrosis (permanent?) - Pericardial effusion - Ipecac can induce myopathy
44
