self resolves once Ab disappears

give methimazole and beta blocker for Sx

patient has to have liver impairment usually

citrate in tranfused blood binds the active ionized Ca

80
Q

side effects of antithyroid drugs

A

agranulocytosis
methimazole is 1st trimester teratogen
propylthiouracil cause hepatic failure and ANCA assoc vasculitis

81

83
Q

what is not affected in pan hypopituitarism

A

aldosterone

remember it is central adrenal insufficiency or secondary.

84
Q

what sex hormone is primarily made in adrenals

A

DHEA-S

85
Q

overproduction DHEA-S

A

gets converted to testosterone, hirsutism!

86
Q

most common cause primary adrenal insufficiency

A

autoimmune

87
Q

most common malignant thyroid carcinoma

A

papillary from epithelial-thyroid follicular cells)

88
Q

definition constitutional growth delay

A

delayed growth spurt
delayed puberty
delayed BONE AGE!!!!

89
Q

chronic kidney disease cause what imbalance in electrolytes

A

secondary hyperPTH from low Ca from low Vit D conversion

also holds onto phosphorus which also stimualtes PTH

90
Q

TSH and LH values in prolactinoma

A

low LH

normal TSH

91
Q

target blood glucose for gestational DM

A

fasting

92
Q

what is next step if diet modification is not good enough for Gestational DM

A

insulin

93
Q

what are complications of late maternal hyperglycemia for neonate

A

polycythemia from inc metabolic demand
organomegaly
macrosomia shoulder dystocia
neonatal hypoglycemia

94
Q

MEN 1

pituitary adenoma
primary hyper PTH
pncrease/GI gastrinoma

95
Q

best initial therapy for primary hyperaldosteronism

A

eplerenone

96
Q

side effects spironolactone

A

decreased libido and gynecomastia in men

breast tenderness and menstural irregularities in women

97
Q

best management in young girl with PCOS no intention of getting pregnant

A

combined OCP

98
Q

which treatment for graves will worsen eyes temporarily

A

radioactive iodine pre treat with glucocorticoids to decrease effects

99
Q

nephrotic syndrome. what is causing low serum Ca

A

low albumin

100
Q

what metabolic abnormalities occur with hypothyroid

A

hyperlipidemia and hyponatremia

sometimes aSx elevations CPK and increased AST ALT

101
Q

hypercortisolism

A

glucose HTN and weight gain. cushings.
can cause proximal wekaness, central adiposity and abdominal striae
HA
usually exogenic. can be small cell lung cancer making ACTH
or ACTH porducing pituitary adenomas (cushing diseasE)

Q

how do kidneys escape excess Na with hyperaldosteronism

A

increase renal blood flow and GFR and atrial natriuretic peptide is relased all to promote Na excretion

105
