Endocrine CIS/DSA Flashcards
chapmans for thyroiditis?
a: intercostal space b/w second and third ribs close to sternum
p: across face of transverse process of second vetrebra - midway b/w the spinous and transverse process
chapman’s for kidneys?
a: 1 inch lateral and 1 inch above umbilicus
P: space b/w T12 and L1
adrenals chapman’s?
A: 2 inches above, 1 inch lateral of umbilicus
p: between T11-T12
pancreas chapmans?
A: b/w rib 7 and 8 on right side close to cartilage
P: between 7 -8 vertebra on right side
congestion of liver and gallbladder chapman?
A: ICS from mid-mammillary line to right side of 6 and 7 rib
P: between 6-7 vertebra on right side
short stature
> 2 SD below the mean
1st year: 25 cm/year
age 1-4: 10 cm/year
age 4-8: 5 cm/year
girls = fathers height -13 cm + mom’s height / 2
boys = moms height + 13 cm + dad’s height / 2
** 8.5 cm on either side of calculated TH equates to 3rd and 97th percentile
familial short stature
height below 2.3rd percentile normal HV, normal growth pattern, inherited - onset of puberty is same and bone age makes sense bone age concordant parents are short no tx needed
CDGP
constitutional delay of growth and puberty = : temporary delay in the skeletal growth and thus height of a child with no other physical abnormalities causing the delay. These children ‘catch-up’ during mid-puberty
- normal size at birth, HV decreases in 3-5 years of life
- growth and stature concordant with bone age, but NOT with chronological age
- dealyed but normal puberty - experience later than friends “late blooming”
- HV is low in first 5 years, most experience a growth spurt
- growth to normal heigh during delayed puberty
- no medical tx - though some may benefit from testosterone and estrogen to trigger the growth that would occur during puberty
small for gestational age
- born with lower than expected weight and length: below 2.3rd percentile
- 10% don’t experience growth catch up by age 2 and may have persistent short stature
- specialist referral needed
- GHT to increase HV - early tx may be necessary
Achondroplasia
- dispropportionate short stature, short limbs, frontal bossing, children do well but have delayed motor development
- no tx available
IUGR
reflects fetal/maternal issues
- fetal weight below 10th percentile for gestational age - may results in a SGA fetus or infant
TS = turners syndrome
- short stature and CV abnormalities
- stocky figure: widely spaced nipples
- short neck, webbing,
- females with XO genotype
- treatment with GHT increases adult height
PWS = prader wili syndrome
- poor suckling reflex, hypotonia in infancy, weight gain and central obesity along with develomental delays
- tx with GHT in order to imiprove body composition and lean mass
NS = netherton syndrome
birth weight and length are normal - may see right sided cardiac problems
- growth failure and developmental delays along with scoliosis
chronic kidney disease
can present with growth failre in children - height deficits at a young age
short stature d/t SHOX deficiency
birth length mildly reduced, growth failure apparent in childhood - more severe in girls - see reduced arma nd leg length
chrohn’s disease
50% of children with CD have decreased growth and 90% are underweight
tx - nutritional intervention and monoclonal Abs
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Approximately 10%-40% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis have short stature due to long-term inflammation, stiffening, and deformation of affected joints. " Delayed puberty " Short stature is generally related to reduced growth in lower extremities. " Clinical course is highly variable among patients. " Incidence is 6-19/100 000
Hypothyroidism
may cause short stature
- do thyroid ultrasound and look at mother’s history
- measure TSH and T4 levels
GHD
growth hormone deficiency - short stature
measure GH levels and IGF-1 levels
GHT should be started as soon as possible
