Q

what is paraneoplastic syndrome?

A

it is when tumor releases hormones, such as ADH

21
Q

what is the patho of SIADH?

IADH, WR, HNa+, DSO

A
  • Too much ADH
  • water retention
  • hyponatremia
  • decreased serum osmolality
22
Q

what are the clinical manifestations for SIADH?

DU, MW, HNa+

A
  • decreased urination
  • muscle weakness
  • hyponatremia
23
Q

what are the clinical manifestations for hyponatremia?

CE, H, C, N, V, MW, AMS

A
  • cerebral edema = increased ICP
  • Headache
  • cramps
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • muscle weakness
  • altered mental status- confusion, lethargy, forgetfulness
23
Q

how is SIADH diagnosed?

BT, UT

A
  • Blood test
  • urine test
23
Q

what is the function of cortisol?

SRH, RIR, M

A
  • stress releasing hormone
  • Regulates immune respone
  • metabolism
24
Q

where is cortisol released from?

ZF of AC

A

zona fasciculata of adrenal cortex

25
Q

what are the two diseases that are onset by cortisol disorders?

A
  • Addison’s disease
  • Cushing’s syndrome
26
Q

what is addison’s disease?

decrease

A

when the adrenal glands produce insufficient amounts of the hormone cortisol and sometimes aldosterone, too

27
Q

what is cushing’s disease?

increase

A

A condition that occurs from exposure to high cortisol levels for a long time.

28
Q

what is the etiology of Addison’s disease?

AID, TB, MC, H, T, MIOC

A
  • Autoimmune destruction of adrenal cortical cells
  • TB
  • metastatic carcinoma
  • HIV
  • Toxins
  • Medications that inhibit cortisol
29
Q

what is the patho of Adrenal insuffiency syndrome?

AC–> DCL–> OAPG–> IACTH–> IACTH

A

Damaged adrenal cortex leads to low cortisol levels which leads to overactive pituatary gland which leads to more Adrenocorticotropic hormone in the blood stream which leads to the adrenal cortex being unable to respond to Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

30
Q

what are the clincal manifesations of Addison’s disease?

A

hypocortisolism and hypoaldosteronism

31
Q

how is addison’s disease diagnosed?

CA, LT, CAT, ACTHST

A
  • History/clinical assessment
  • Lab test
  • CT/MRI scan
  • ACTH stimulation test
32
Q

what is the etiology of cushing’s disease?

E, E, I

A
  • endogenic
  • ectopic
  • iatrogenic
33
Q

what is the pathophysiology for Cushing’s disease?

A

high level of cortisol production from adrenal cortex

34
Q

what is high level of cortisol production from adrenal cortex?

A

disorder caused by long-term administration of glucocorticoid-containing products

35
Q

what is Cushing’s syndrome characteristics?

A
  • moon face
  • buffalo hump
  • truncal obesity
36
Q

what are the clinical manifestations of cushing disease?

MW, F, TE, ST, EB, PWH, SM, MD, A

  • thin extremities
  • skin thinning
  • easy bruising
  • poor wound healing
  • strecth marks
  • mental disturbances
  • amenorrhea
37
Q

what are the complications of cushing disease?

A
  • high glucose and insulin levels
  • hypertension
  • lower immunity and inflammatory response
  • impairs brain and gonad functions
38
Q

what is a Dexamethasone suppression test?

A

blood analysis for cortisol levels after administration of synthetic glucocorticoid

39
Q

what should happen when a Dexamethasone suppression test is administered ?

A

cortisol levels should decrease after

40
Q

how is cushing disease diagnosed?

A
  • clinacl assessment
  • Urine test
  • Blood/saliva test
  • imaging
  • Dexamethasone suppression test
41
Q

what kind of hormones are released when stressed?

A
  • epinephrine
  • norepinephrine
  • aldosterone
  • cortisol
  • ADH
42
Q

what are the effects on stress on the systems?

P, IBP, IBG, DIR, IADH, IBV

A
  • pallor
  • increased bp
  • increased blood glucose
  • lower immune response
  • increased water retention
  • blood volume
43
Q

what kind of chronic disease does stress cause?

HD, C, DLE, IAA, AA

A
  • Heart disease
  • cancer
  • decreased life expectancy
  • increased asthma attack
  • alchol abuse
44
Q

what is Nonketotic Coma?

A

characterized by marked hyperglycemia, hyperosmolarity, severe dehydration, occasional neurological signs, obtunded sensorium, and absence of ketonemia or acidosis.

45
Q

what is hyperthyrodism?

A

speeds up the body’s metabolism which causes many symptoms, such as weight loss, hand tremors, and rapid or irregular heartbeat.

46
Q

waht is hypothyroidism?

A

disrupt such things as heart rate, body temperature, and all aspects of metabolism.
