endocrine ch.10 Flashcards
endocrine disorders
too much or too little hormone activity
- production/ secretion
- tissue sensitivity
primary disorder
problem within the gland itself
secondary disorder
outside of the gland
- thyroid stimulating hormone in decrease not enough throyid being told to release
anterior pituitary
growth hormone
- dwarfism
- acromegaly
- larger controls other glands
posterior pituitary
antidirutetic hormone
- syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)
- diabetes insipidus
growth hormone imbalance
- too little: short stature
- too much: gigantism acromegaly
growth hormone deficiency pathology
- deficient GH in childhood
- growth not affected in adults
growth hormone deficiency etiology
- pituitary tumor
- surgery or trauma to cranial cavity
- failure of pituitary to develop: see it early on
growth hormone deficiency dwarfism clinical manifestations
- grow only to 3 to 4 feet
- slowed sexual maturation
- may have mental retardation
acromegaly path
- excess growth hormone in adults
- bones grow in width, not length
- organs and connective tissues also enlarge
acromegaly etiology & clinical manifestations
pituitary gland
clinical manifestations
- change in shoe or ring size
- nose, jaw, brow enlarge
- kyphsosis
- difficulty speaking and swallowing
- headaches/ visual changes
ADH too little/too much
too little= diabetes insidious
too much= siadh
diabetes insipidus patho
- insufficienct adh
- kidneys do not reabsorb water
- diuresis 3-15 l per day= more urine output
diabetes insipidus causes
- pituitary tumor
- aneurysms
- cns infections
diabetes insipidus clinical manifestations
- polyuria- too much urine
- polydipsia- increase thirst
- nocturia
- dilute urine
- dehydration
- decreased loc
SIADH path
- too much ADH
- water retention
- hyponatremia
- decreased serum osmolality
SIADH causes
- tumors
- severe stress/ trauma
- cerebral hemorrhage
- diabetes insidious tx complications
SIADH signs and symptoms
- weight gain without edema
- dilution hyponatremia
- concentrated urine
- muscle cramps and weakness
- brain swelling, seizures, death
thyroid hormone imbalance diseases
goiter
hypothroidism
hyperthyroidism
goiter patho
- enlarged thyroid gland
- elevated TSH
- hyperplasia
goiter causes
livgg
- low th
- iodine deficiency
- virus
- genetic
- goitrogens
