Endo-Repro CIS Flashcards
What are the manifestations of short-term stress response?
- glycogen broken down to glucose; increased blood glucose
- increased BP
- increased RR
- increased metabolic rate
- change in blood-flow patterns, leading to increased altertness and decreased kidney activity
What are manifestations of acute adrenal insufficiency?
- signs/symptoms
- lab abnormalities
LO1
low BP
low RR
low metabolic rate
LOC
- hypoglycemia
- hyponatremia “salt wasting”
- hyperkalemia
- fever
Effect of primary adrenal cortical insufficiency on HPA
LO2a
low mineralcorticoids, low glucocorticoids – no negative feedback –> high ACTH
Effect of primary adrenal cortical insufficiency on renin-angiotensin II-aldosterone system
LO2b
low aldosterone – no negative feedback –> high renin and high angiotensin II
What is the pathology that underlies most cases of chronic adrenal insufficiency?
LO3
autoimmune
Addison’s disease
-chronic progressive destruction of adrenal gland
-high ACTH but low cortisol
-adrenal response is blocked from the signal
What are potential etiologies for acute adrenal insufficiency?
LO4
- underlying Addison’s disease (flare)
- trauma
Describe the processes by which the parathyroid glands regulate calcium homeostasis
LO5
chief cells secrete PTH
- directly releases calcium from bone
- promotes synthesis of 1,25 (OH)2 D in the kidney –> vit D promotes calcium absorption from GI
Primary hyperparathyroidism
- clinical presentation
- labs
- abnormalities
LO6a,b,c
clinical presentation
-hypercalciuria kidney stones
-increased bone resorption – brittle bones
-constipation
-neural symptoms
“stones, bones, groans, thrones, with neural undertones”
labs
- elevated Ca2+
- decreased Pi
- elevated PTH
- decreased urine Ca2+
- elevated urine Pi –> phosphaturia
abnormalities
- abnormality within parathyroid gland - 1 gland enlarged
- parathyroid adenoma (tumor) secreting excess PTH
Secondary hyperparathyroidism
- clinical presentation
- labs
- abnormalities
LO6a,b,c
clinical presentation
- back pain
- same as hypocalcemia: hyperreflexia, spontaneous twitching, muscle cramps, tingling, numbness
labs
- decreased or normal Ca2+
- elevated Pi
- elevated PTH
abnormalities
- ESRD–>low calcium–>elevated PTH–>increased bone turnover
- vit D deficiency
Describe the progression of disease in the most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
-measure to arrest the disease process
LO7a
- ESRD–>low calcium–>elevated PTH–>increased bone turnover
- calcium supplement, if vit D levels decreased add vit D supplement
Pathophysiology of T1DM
- etiology
- hormone abnormality
- effect on cell metabolism
LO8
- autoimmune disease due to failure of T lymphocyte self tolerance
- directed against beta cells
- “insulinitis”
- low insulin
- insulin is anabolic –> catabolic cell metabolism in T1DM
T1DM
- clinical signs and symptoms
- labs
LO9
polydypsia, polyuria -excess sugar in bloodstream pulls fluid from tissues extreme hunger -insulin is unavailable, so sugar not moved into cells --> muscles and organs lack energy weight loss -muscle tissues and fat stores shrink fatigue -no sugar for cells irritability or behavior changes
- increased glucose
- decreased insulin –> check for c peptide
DKA
-clinical signs/symptoms
LO10
fruity smelling breath -break down fat producing ketones abdominal pain -metabolic acidosis --> labored breathing nausea/vomiting
- increased blood glucose
- high ketoacids in the liver
Thyroid goitrogenesis
-causes
nutrition -iodine deficiency -goitrogens genetics -familial predisposition environment -alcohol -smoking -obesity/insulin resistance
Thyroid goitrogenesis
-pathophysiology
LO11
more thyroid cells needed to produce the same amount of thyroid hormone needed
