Q

Characterized by facial flash, moon face, purple straight guy, pendulous abdomen, easy bruising, supraclavicular fat pad, hyperpigmentation, trunk obesity, then extremities.

Caused by hypersecretion of ACTH. Causes a lipolysis and altered fat distribution.

ACTH excess causes hyperpigmentation because excessive MSH is formed as an alternate cleavage product of the same hormone precursor. MSH stimulates production of melatonin, a skin pigment.

Q

Is it a target organ problem?

Caused by a problem in the gland that secretes the hormone who’s action is directed toward other tissues rather than to another gland.

A primary endocrine disorder occurs when one endocrine gland stops working correctly. A secondary endocrine disorder occurs when a master gland (such as the pituitary gland) that regulates other glands stops working.

Giantism
34
Too much ADH from the posterior pituitary. Not diuresing Symptoms: lethargy, hyponatremia, perhaps seizure, decreased plasma osmolality, concentrated urine.
SIADH
35
Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body's needs. Symptoms: lethargy, Cold intolerance, hoarseness, non-pitting boggy edema around the eyes, coarse hair, decreased body temperature.
Hypothyroidism
36
Hyper function of the adrenal Medela. A constant firing of catecholamines, so a constant fight or flight response. Tumors of the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Symptoms: hypertension, tachycardia, palpitations, severe headache, diaphoresis, heat intolerance, weight loss, constipation.

37
Viralization: lack of breast development, hirsutism, increased muscle bulkn of androgens in women
Adrenal adenoma causing hypersecretio
38
A life-threatening complication of diabetes that can occur within 24 to 48 hours. DKA develops when the body doesn't have enough insulin to allow blood sugar into cells for energy. Instead, the liver breaks down fat for fuel, which produces acids called ketones. When too many ketones are produced too fast, they can build up to dangerous levels in the body. Symptoms: polyuria, decreased level of consciousness, who small breathing, acetone smelt of breath, hyperglycemia, decreased blood pH, Ketonuria, glycosuria.
Diabetic ketoacidosis
39
A condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range. Glucose is your body's main energy source. Needs immediate treatment. For many people, a fasting blood sugar of 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), Symptoms: tachycardia, diaphoresis, tremor, pallor, confusion, decreased level of consciousness, perhaps seizure.
Hypoglycemia
40
Primary hyperaldosteronism, also known as Conn's syndrome, is a condition that occurs when the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone that helps regulate salt and potassium levels in the blood. Too much aldosterone can lead to high blood pressure. Symptoms: hypertension, hypokalemia, increased blood pH, increased urine potassium.
Primary hyperaldosteronism
41
Not enough ADH. Kidneys make a lot of dilute urine. Can be neurogenic or nephrogenic in nature. Symptoms: polydipsia, nocturia, polyuria, hypernatremia, increased plasma osmolality, large volume of dilute urine.
Diabetes insipidus
42
Characterized by high levels of ADH in the absence of normal Control mechanisms.
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH)
43
A primary adrenal insufficiency. Adrenal gland doesn't make enough cortisol and aldosterone, two hormones that normally help maintain circulatory volume. Side effects are lightheadedness. Symptoms: weakness, fatigue, hypotension, anorexia, hyperkalemia, bronze pigmentation, hypoglycemia, elevated ACTH.
Addison disease
44
A long-term condition that occurs when the body doesn't use insulin properly. This results in unusual blood sugar levels. Patients make little insulin, which goes to the liver and decreases the formation of ketoacidosis.
Type II DM
45
SIADH
Too much ADH from the posterior pituitary. Not diuresing Symptoms: lethargy, hyponatremia, perhaps seizure, decreased plasma osmolality, concentrated urine.
46
Excessive water intake that decreases plasma osmolality by overwhelming to ADH mechanisms. Primary polydipsia. People who have this disorder constantly feel thirsty and drink lots of fluids. It can be caused by damage to the thirst-regulating mechanism in the hypothalamus. It also has been linked to mental illness, such as schizophrenia.
Dispogenic diabetes insipidus
47
A rare condition that occurs when the pituitary gland stops producing most or all of its hormones. When necrosis or another problem in the anterior pituitary causes deficiency of all its hormones.
Panhypopituitarism
48

Prolactinomas
49
A condition in persons with long-standing diabetes who may develop hypoglycemia without the usual sympathetic nervous system manifestations.

Myxedema
51
Decreased level of consciousness associated with severe hypothyroidism.
Myxedema coma
52
Enlargement of the thyroid gland. A response to increase stimulation by TSH.
Goiter
53
Parathyroid makes too much PTH. Takes calcium out of the bones. Makes bones weak. Predisposed to kidney stones.
Primary hyperparathyroidism
54
Used for any condition involving chronic exposure to excessive cortisol. Cushing's syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period of time. Cortisol is sometimes called the “stress hormone” because it helps your body respond to stress. Cortisol also helps. maintain blood pressure.
Cushing syndrome
55
Delayed gastric emptying, is a condition that occurs when food stays in the stomach longer than it should. It's caused by paralysis of the stomach muscles, which is often due to nerve damage, most commonly from diabetes. Due to autonomic neuropathy. A micro vascular problem.
