Endocrine Boards - Sheet1 (2) Flashcards
Elevated PTH and calcium. Low phosphate. Short QT interval. Bones, stones, and moans, psych groans
Primary hyperparathyroid
Elevated PTH. Normal/Low calcium. Renal failure and Vit D deficiency
Secondary hyperparathyroid
Neck Surgery. Chvostek and Trousseau. Prolonged QT
Hypoparathyroid
Eye and Skin manifestation
Graves
PTU - first trimester. methimazole - after first trimester
Hyperthyroid Treatment
Low TSH and Free T4. Check adrenal function
Central hypothyroid
TSH. Ultrasound. Warm Nodules are benign. Cold nodules are cancer
Thyroid nodule
Pituitary adenoma. Lung tumor. Adrenal tumor. Low ACTH = adrenal. High ACTH = pituitary or lung.
Cushings
Increased ACTH = adrenal. Low ACTH = pituitary. ACTH stimulation test. Hyponatremia & Hyperkalemia. Fludrocortisone
Addisons
Androgen and/or estrogen secreting = cancer. CT scan. Surgery
Adrenal cortical carcinoma
Increased growth hormone. Pituitary tumor. Large hands/feet. Increased insulin like growth factor.
Acromegaly
Low C-peptide. Antibodies. Beta cell destruction.
Type 1 DM
Insulin insensitivity. Weight loss. Metformin.
Type 2 DM
Hyperglycemia( < 1,000 (but usually about 350). Type 1. Anion gap metabolic acidosis and serum ketones. Infection. Hypokalemia.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Glucose > 1,000. Type 2
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia
Triglycerides > 1,000 = pancreatitis. Statins first line.
Hyperlipidemia
Galactorrhea, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea. Hook effect. HCG, TSH, MRI. Cabergoline.
Prolactinemia
Decreases hepatic glucose production and peripheral glucose utilization, decreases intestinal glucose absorption
Metformin
Stimulates pancreatic beta cell insulin release (insulin secretagogue - non glucose dependent)
Sulfonylureas (glyburide and glipizide)
Increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral receptor site adipose and muscle has no effect on pancreatic beta cells
Thiazolidinediones (Pioglitazone - Actos and Rosiglitazone - Avandia)
Delays intestinal glucose absorption
α-Glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose precose and Miglitol glyset)
Stimulates pancreatic beta cell insulin release
Meglitinides (Repaglinide prandin and Nateglinide)
