Endocrine 1 Flashcards
types of glands
pituitary thyroid parathyroid adrenal pancreas ovaries testes
hormones
chemical substances
affect only target cells with receptors
initiate specific “f” or activites
hormone regulation mechs
negative feedback
positive feedback
nervous system
rhythms
negative feedback
high levels of a substance inhibit hormone synthesis/secretion
low levels stimulate
positive feedback
high levels stimulate synthesis and secretion
low level inhibit
nervous system (hormone reg)
causes release of hormones
ie epineph
rhythms (hormone reg)
hormones fluctuate, circadian rhythms
post pit “f”
ADH
oxytocin
ADH
antidiuretic hormone
regs fluid vol, causes H20 retention, dec UO, vasoconstriction (dec BP)
oxytocin
stim. contraction of uterus, lactating milk
SIADH
high levels ADH
etiology of SIADH
tumors, transient after surgery, meds, infections, pulm disease, most often hypoxia
patho of SIADH
ADH released causes H20 retention
Excess fluid volume + dilutional hyponatremia
Renin suppressed causs dec aldo and dec Na reabsorption
net effect of SIADH
hyponatremia, hypoosmolality, H20 retention
CM of SIADH
FEWMACHS Fatigue/lethargy Edema Wt gain Muscle weakness Abdominal cramps Confusion/coma/Change in MS H/A Seizures
DT of SIADH
serum osmolarity dec
urine osmolarity inc
serum Na dec
urine output dec
Treatment for SIADH
H20 restrictions
hypertonic saline solution
if chronic, meds to inhibit ADH
Diabetes Insipidus
Low ADH or dec action
types of diabetes insipidus
neurogenic
nephrogenic
psychogenic
patho of diabetes insipidus
neuro- dec ADH leads to excretion of lrg amounts of dilute urine
nephro- ADH OK but collecting ducts arent responding
CM for diabetes insipidus
PNIFF Polyuria nocturia inc thirst fatigue fluid volume deficit
DT for diabetes insipidus
serum osmolarity inc
urine osmolarity dec
water deprivation study
treatment for diabetes insipidus
fluid
synthetic ADH
meds to enhance ADH
ant pit “f”
GH TSH ACTH PR FSH, LH
Hypopituitarism
absence of 1 hormone to complete failure of all
patho of hypopituitarism
infarctions lead to tissue necrosis and edema
tumors lead to destruction of gland
etiology of hypopituitarism
infarction
tumors
infections
trauma
CM for hypopituitarism-general
WSHDV Weakness/fatigue Sexual dysfunction H/A Dec tolerance to stress Visual changes
CM for hypopituitarism- panhypo
CTDGD Cortisol deficiency Thyroid deficiency Diabetes insipidus Gonadal failure Dec GH
