Endo-Repro CIS Flashcards

1
Q

What are the manifestations of short-term stress response?

A
  1. glycogen broken down to glucose; increased blood glucose
  2. increased BP
  3. increased RR
  4. increased metabolic rate
  5. change in blood-flow patterns, leading to increased altertness and decreased kidney activity

Q

What is the pathology that underlies most cases of chronic adrenal insufficiency?

LO3

A

autoimmune
Addison’s disease
-chronic progressive destruction of adrenal gland
-high ACTH but low cortisol
-adrenal response is blocked from the signal

Q

Describe the processes by which the parathyroid glands regulate calcium homeostasis

LO5

A

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

Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism

  • clinical presentation
  • labs
  • abnormalities

LO6a,b,c

A

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

Q

Secondary hyperparathyroidism

  • clinical presentation
  • labs
  • abnormalities

LO6a,b,c

A

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

Q

Describe the progression of disease in the most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
-measure to arrest the disease process

LO7a

A
  • ESRD–>low calcium–>elevated PTH–>increased bone turnover
  • calcium supplement, if vit D levels decreased add vit D supplement

Q

Pathophysiology of T1DM

  • etiology
  • hormone abnormality
  • effect on cell metabolism

LO8

A
  • 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

12
Q

T1DM

  • clinical signs and symptoms
  • labs

LO9

A
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
