Primary - sporadic adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal adenoma, adrenal carcinoma
high aldosterone, low renin (negative feedback)

Secondary - activation of renin angiotensin system - renal vascular hypertension, CHF, fibromuscula dysplasi etc…
high aldosterone, high renin (cause)

266
Q

bilateral adrenal hyperplasia w/ salt wasting hyperkalemia and hyponatremia; hypotension w/ lack of cortisol and clitoral enlargement /precocious puberty think?

A

21 hydroxylase deficiency

267
Q

bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, NO salt wasting, life threatening hypotension w/ lack of cortisol and clitoral enlargement/precosious puberty

A

11 hydroxylase deficiency

Get some weak adosterone metabolites due to the presence of 21 hydroxylase but do not get mature aldosterone

Still no cortisol and shift to sex steroids

268
Q

bilateral adrenal hyperplasia w/ NO sex steriods and no cortisol and a lot of mineral corticoid production

A

17 hydroxylase deficiency

269
Q

hemorragic necrosis of adrenals in child due to DIC

Name of disorder?
Causal agent

A

acute adrenal insufficiency/Waterhouse friderichsen

N meningitidis infection prior

270
Q

Cause of death w/ acute adrenal insufficiency

A

Lack of cortisol -> life threatening hypotension

271
Q

Chronic history of hypotension, hyponatremia and hypovolemia, hyperkalemia, and weakness

Giveaway clue?

A

Addisons - chronic adrenal insufficiency

ACTH overproduction -> hyperpigmentation

272
Q

Causes of addisons (3)

A 
autoimmune destruction
TB
metastatic carinoma (LUNG)
273
Q

Adrenal medulla derived frome

A

neural crest cells - > chromaffin

274
Q

Adrenal medulla produces

A

catecholamines

epinephrine and NE

275
Q

Episodic HTN, HA, palpitations, Tachy and sweating think?

A

Pheochromocytoma

276
Q

Diagnose pheo by what?

A

increased serum netanephrines, increased urine metanephrins and vanillymandelic acids

277
Q

Prior to surgical excision of pheo give?

Why?

A

phenoxybenzamine

give to prevent hypertensive crisis due to leakage of catecholamines squeezed out

278
Q

Rule of 10s in pheo (4)

A 
10% bilateral
10% familial
10% malignant
10% located outside of adrenal medulla 
-bladder wall or inferior mesenteric artery root
279
Q

Pheochromocytoma are a part of 4 syndromes

A

MEN2a
MEN2b
von hippel Lindau
neurofibromatosis type 1
