Q

Interior pituitary adenoma

A

Usually causes hypersecretion of hormones from the adenoma it’s self and hyposecretion of hormones from the surrounding pituitary cells.

Q

Type I DM

A

A deficit in insulin and amylin, and a relative excess of glucagon.

Patients have severe insolent efficiency, and they have excessive that break down and make Kito asses faster than the body can remove them.

Symptoms: polydipsia, nocturia, polyuria, increased appetite, weight loss, hyperglycemia, glycosuria.

Q

Cushing disease

A

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

Primary endocrine disorder

A

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.

Q

Secondary endocrine disorder

A

Is it a control organ problem? (Pituitary or hypothalamus secreting too much or too little stimulating hormone?)

Caused by a problem with the gland that secretes the hormone who’s target tissues are another gland that it stimulates or suppresses.

18
Q

Giantism

A

Hypersecretion of growth hormone in children and adolescents whose epiphyseal plates have not yet closed, so these long bones are able to grow.

19
Q

SIADH

A

Too much ADH from the posterior pituitary. Not diuresing

Symptoms: lethargy, hyponatremia, perhaps seizure, decreased plasma osmolality, concentrated urine.

20
Q

Hypothyroidism

A

Symptoms: lethargy, Cold intolerance, hoarseness, non-pitting boggy edema around the eyes, coarse hair, decreased body temperature.

21
Q

Pheochromocytoma

A

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.

22
Q

Adrenal adenoma causing hypersecretion of androgens in women

A

Viralization: lack of breast development, hirsutism, increased muscle bulk

23
Q

Diabetic ketoacidosis

A

Symptoms: polyuria, decreased level of consciousness, who small breathing, acetone smelt of breath, hyperglycemia, decreased blood pH, Ketonuria, glycosuria.

24
Q

Hypoglycemia

A

Symptoms: tachycardia, diaphoresis, tremor, pallor, confusion, decreased level of consciousness, perhaps seizure.

25
Q

Primary hyperaldosteronism

A

Symptoms: hypertension, hypokalemia, increased blood pH, increased urine potassium.

26
Q

Diabetes insipidus

A

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.

27
Q

Addison disease

A

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.

28
Q

Type II DM

A

To be sick and Pondens are insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction.

Patients make little insulin, which goes to the liver and decreases the formation of ketoacids.

29
Q

Pituitary disease

A

Failure of the hypothalamus to secrete its usual hormones

30
Q

Dispogenic diabetes insipidus

A

Excessive water intake that decreases plasma osmolality by overwhelming to ADH mechanisms.

31
Q

Panhypopituitarism

A

When necrosis or another problem in the anterior pituitary causes deficiency of all its hormones.

32
Q

Prolactinomas

A

Occur in women. Prolactin secreting tumor’s and the interior pituitary. They cause galactorrhea (milk production not associated with childbirth.)

33
Q

Hypoglycemia unawareness

A

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

34
Q

Myxedema

A

Non-pitting boggy edema associated with hypothyroidism.

35
Q

Myxedema coma

A

Decreased level of consciousness associated with severe hypothyroidism.

36
Q

Goiter

A

Enlargement of the thyroid gland. A response to increase stimulation by TSH.

37
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism

A

Parathyroid makes too much PTH. Takes calcium out of the bones. Makes bones weak.

Predisposed to kidney stones.

38
Q

Cushing syndrome

A

Used for any condition involving chronic exposure to excessive cortisol.

39
Q

Gastroparesis

A

A complication of diabetes. Due to autonomic neuropathy. A micro vascular problem.

40
Q

Diabetic retinopathy

A

Microvascular disease and hyperglycemia cause it’s beginning of retinal capillary basement membranes, vein dilation, microaneurysm formation, and hemorrhages. Progressive retinal ischemia causes and farts. Eventually, new blood vessels in fibrous tissues form within the retina or optic.

41
Q

Diabetic nephropathy

A

Kidney damage from diabetes. First manifest as microalbumineria

42
Q

Graves disease

A

Hyperthyroidism. Involves antibodies against TSH receptor is called thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins. BTS eyes stimulate TSH receptor’s on the thyrocytes, causing the thyroid it to secrete excess T3 and T4.

Weight-loss with increased appetite. Increased body temperature and tachycardia. Increases metabolic rate.

43
Q

Exopthalmus

A

Associated with graves disease. Fibroblast located behind I have TSH receptor’s. Stimulation of these receptors by the TSI auto antibodies causes enlargement of ocular muscles, accumulation of fat, and Edema that push the eyeballs forward.
