Endo #1 Flashcards
hGH- Human Growth Hormone secreted by ?
acidophil cells
hGH- Human Growth Hormone modulates ?
Modulates growth from birth until the end of puberty
hGH- Human Growth Hormone when is it secreted ?
Secreted in response to sleep, exercise, ingestion of protein, and response to hypoglycemia
hGH- Human Growth Hormone
own notes ?
fluctuates with sleeep, glucose levels in the blood stream or types of meals that we are eating
need to remember that Gh fluctuate in the serum
to much GH from childhood is giantism
GH assay: Increased ?
Gigantism - starts in childhood
Acromegaly - excess growth hormone starting in adult hood
- *Arcomegaly - large extremities and head circumference gets bigger
- *
GH assay: Decreased ?
Dwarfism - decrease at childhood ( achondroplasia)
Pituitary insufficiency -
GH Hormone Stimulation Test use ________ or ___________ hypoglycemia to stimulate GH secretion
Arginine
insulin-induced
GH Hormone Stimulation Test: decreased ?
Pituitary deficiency
GH deficiency
GH Hormone Stimulation Test own notes ?
lower the BG then more GH will be secreted
we used insulin or arginine ( to stimulate hyperglycemia) to stimulate GH secretion - if they can secret cause they are deficit
GH Suppression Test aka ?
Oral glucose tolerance test
Oral glucose tolerance test: GH will not be suppressed in patients with ?
acromegaly or gigantism
Oral glucose tolerance test own notes ?
give them a big oral glucose load, it should surpass GH secretion ( if you cant suppress it , like acromegaly and giantism )
given to prig patients to see if gestational diabetes
Insulin-like Growth Factor (Somatomedin C) reflects ?
More accurately reflects GH activity
Insulin-like Growth Factor (Somatomedin C) increased ?
Acromegaly
Gigantism
Insulin-like Growth Factor (Somatomedin C) decreased ?
Dwarfism
GH deficiency
Pituitary deficiency
Insulin-like Growth Factor (Somatomedin C) own notes ?
GH are all somatomedin
Insulin like Growth factors is one of them
when they are circulating, you can check for these instead of the GH cause it does not fluctuate like the GH does = get a better average of what the GH activity look like
ADH aka ?
Anti-diuretic hormone, Vasopressin
ADH own notes ?
it lines the tubules and sucks water back into the tissue tr into the bodty = helps retain water
concentrates the urine bay acting on the tubules to retain water
taking free water out
less aADH - more dilute urine - water is not being reabsorbed
bug part in osmotic homeostasis and helps maintain BP
ADH: Osmotic homeostasis ?
Concentrates the urine by acting on the collecting tubules to reabsorb the water
ADH: Volume homeostasis ?
↑ water reabsorption : maintains BP
vasoconstrictor
ADH is secreted in response to ?
Hypernatremia
Dehydration
Hypotension
Stress/ anxiety - retain water
anywhere where our body wants to retain water
ADH is surpassed by ?
Hyponatremia
CHF
Vasoconstrictors
when our body want to get rid of free water 9 less ADH lining tubules so we dont retain the water
Abnormal ADH: DI ?
ADH secretion is inadequate
Nephrogenic
Central (Neurogenic)
Abnormal ADH: SIADH ?
Carcinoma of thymus or lung (SCLC)
Severe stress
CNS tumor/ CVA ( stroke)
ADH testing: Serum ADH increased ?
SIADH
Nephrogenic DI
because if we have ADH that is trying to stimulate the K to retain water and the K can respond and it is still release water - High ADH levels but still going to have volume depletion ( K cannot concentrate urine)
CNS tumors/ infection
Ectopic ADH secretion (paraneoplastic syndrome)
Dehydration
ADH testing: Serum ADH decreased ?
Neurogenic DI
lack of ADH coming from central area
Ablation of pituitary
pituitary problems
Hypervolemia
ADH Suppression Test purpose ?
Differentiate between SIADH and other edematous conditions
ADH Suppression Test procedure ?
Administer water (20 mL/kg up to 1500 mL) in 10-20 minutes
Collect urine every hour for 6 hours and send for SG ( specific gravity) and urine osmolality measurements
ADH Suppression Test: results - SIADH ?
Water excretion: little
Urine osmolality: ↑
Urine SG: ↑
U/S ratio: ↑
ADH Suppression Test: results - other edematous states ?
Begin excreting up ~80% of water load = NL
ADH Suppression Test own notes ?
NL alot of water they will just pee it out
SIADH the more water we give them they still can get it out and they continue to be more and more volume overloaded ( no free water secretion into urine)
Water Deprivation Test: ADH Stimulation Test
purpose ?
Differentiate between causes of polyuria including neurogenic/ nephrogenic DI = peeing alot of free water
ADH Stimulation Test: procedure ?
Pt is deprived of fluids
Serum osmolality rises above 288 mOsm/kg to consider pt adequately dehydrated
Administer Vasopressin SQ
Obtain urine osmolality
ADH Stimulation Test
own notes ?
we dehydrate them even further
kidney problem or neurologic problem
Neurogenic Problem - and we give them vasopressin - then we will see a rise in urine osmolality - cause it is from a central place ( when give the V you should see a rise in UOsmolality if neurogenic )
Kidney Problem - and kidney is not responding and you give them the V - the kidneys still cannot concentrate the urine
