Endocrine disorders Flashcards
2 Basic problems for endocrine disorders
hyperfunction
hypofunction
Hyperfunction
increase in hormone secretion/action
Hypofunction
decrease or no hormone secretion or action
Hypofunction etiology
- dietary deficiency
- metabolic defect
- no trophic stimulation cause atrophy
- receptor defects (distorted or damaged shape)
- suppresive therapy (surgery/Tx for hypersecretion)
- immune disorders (anitbodies bind to receptor sites)
Hyperfunction etiology
- excessive trophic stimulation
- defect in negative feedback loop leads to no suppression
- Secretory tumor ( tumor cells will be same so have same secretion)
ectopic tumor
located somewhere else ex. cell in lung that secretes hormone
non functioning tumor
destroys normal secretory cells that can lead to hypofunction
commonest endocrine disorder, affects approx
diabetes mellitus (2.5 mil)
diabetes mellitus has ______ or ________ insulin defects
absolute or relative
absolute insulin defects
no insulin produced
relative insulin defects
insulin produced not able to recognize
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease that affects
protein metabolism, lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism
Diabetes melliuts has defective
insulin secretion or action which leads to widespread metabolic defects (proteins, carbohydrates & lipids)
Diabetes melliuts is ________ if uncontrolled
life threatening
Impact of diabetes
Cardivascular, occular, renal, nueroimplications
these will develop approx 10 yrs, with better management takes longer to dev, with bad management happens sooner
classification of diabetes has 2 types
- type 1
- type 2
Type 1 affects
10 % of individuals with diabetes
Type 2 affects
90% of individuals with diabetes
Type 1 is __________ insulin deficiency
absolute, destruction of cells that create insulin (beta cells)
Type 1a
Type 1b
1a (immune mediated 90-95%)
1b (idiopathic destruction of beta cells 5-10%)
Type 2 beta cells are
intact and it is relative insulin deficiency
Etiology of both type 1 and type 2
complex trait (polygenic + environmental) enivormental ex. viral infection & obesity
Type 1 has
juvenile onset (early onset)
LADA
progressive form of type 1
latent autoimmune diabetes in adults
MHC genes
-majorhistocompatability complex code for cells to be able to identify as self to immune system
