lack of kidney response to ADH

28
Q

what is hypodipsia

A

decreased or absent feeling of thirst which results in decreased water intake
causes hypernatremia (increased ECF NA+)

29
Q

what is syndrome of inappropriate ADH

A

increased & uncontrolled secretion of ADH
causes hyponatremia (decreased ECF Na+)

30
Q

what is the function of pendrin

A

Cl-/I- ion exchanger
(for thyroid hormone production)

31
Q

what is needed to make thyroid hormone

A

peroxidase and iodine

32
Q

what cleaves T3 and T4 from thyroglobulin for secretion?

A

proteases

33
Q

how do cells convert T4 to T3 for use

A

deiodinases (iodinases)

34
Q

what are the broad effects of thyroid hormones

A

-growth
-CNS development
-cardiovascular (permissive effect on beta adrenergic receptors)
-large effect on metabolism

35
Q

when does TSH secretion peak?

A

midnight

36
Q

effects of TH on metabolism

A

-stimulates O2 consumption
-increased BMR
-stimulate carb metabolism (uptake of glucose, enhances glycolysis & gluconeogenesis, increase rate of carb absorption)
-stimulates protein catabolism & synthesis (protein turnover)
-stimulates fat metabolism (increased lipid mobilization & oxidation of FA)

37
Q

what is important about the fat metabolism effect of TH

A

required to convert beta carotene into vitamin A
-important for wound healing
-hypothyroid pt could appear orange

38
Q

effects of TH on nervous system

A

-normal development of NS
-impacts reflex time

39
Q

effects of TH on cardiovascular system

A

-increased expression of beta adrenergic receptors
-increased blood flow, HR and contractility

40
Q

effects of TH on endocrine system

A

activation of bone formation –> need for increased PTH secretion

41
Q

effects of TH on GI system

A

-increased appetite & food intake (BMR)
-increased rate of secretion & motility of GI tract

42
Q

what is Grave’s disease

A

hyperthyroidism
autoimmune disease where antibodies to TSH receptor (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins) stimulate thyroid gland to excess
(causes low TRH and TSH levels)

43
Q

what are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism

A

-exopthalmos
-nervousness, restlessness, insomnia
-goiter
-tachycardia, palpitations
-weight loss & increased appetite
-tremor
-pretibial myxedema (redness & swelling in pretibial region)

44
Q

what are the oral symptoms of hyperthyroidism

A

-burning mouth syndrome
-gum disease
-increased salivation
-weakening of mandible
-increased caries risk

45
Q

what is Hashimotos thyroiditis

A

hypothyroidism
autoimmune rxn against thyroid gland

46
Q

what are symptoms of hypothyroidism

A

-iodine deficiency=goiter
-TSH deficiency= NO goiter
-weight gain
-lethargy/impaired memory
-slow pulse
-course/dry brittle hair
-loss of lateral eyebrows

47
