Exam 4 Thyroid Hormone Flashcards
graves dx
Ab activating thyroid
primary hypothyroid
thyroid
secondary hypothyroid
pituitary
tertiary hypothyroid
hypothalamus
protirelin
thyroid hormone related drug. sensitive to TSH assay.
thyrotropin alfa
thyroid hormone related drug. used in thyroid CA, to stim radioactive iodine uptake
levothyroxine (T4)
some metabolized to T3, activates thyroid hormone receptors, feedback inhibits TSH release and or TRH release. Used for replacement, prevent cretinism, after thyroid removal, TSH suppression (reverse goiter).
thionamides general MOA
anti-thyroid. inhibition of thyroid peroxidase, inhibition of 5-deiodinase. used for thyrotoxicosis, graves
iodides (KI or Lugols solution) general MOA
anti-thyroid. inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis by blocking organification/thyroglobulin proteolysis also supplies iodine for thyroid hormone synthesis. used for thyroid store or iodine def.
radioactive iodides
taken up by thyroid and irradiates thyroid gland. used for thyrotoxicosis.
adult hypopituitarism
caused by tumor or hypophysectomy. causes atrophy of gonads, supp lactation, loss of libido, sensitive to stress, hypoglycemic.
kids hypopituitarism
caused by poor dvmt during embryogenesis. causes dwarfism, no sex dvmt, thyroid and adrenal hypoactivity. therapy usually only GH for effect on blood sugar
hyperpituitarism
caused by pit tumor. causes acromegaly, goiter, cushings, lactation. treat with sx
PTH
primary reg of Ca. secreted when Ca low. expression inhibited by VitD. activates osteoclasts. net increase Ca and decrease phos.
CT (calcitonin)
secondary regulator of Ca, produced in thyroid, secreted when Ca high. inactivates osteoclasts. net effect decrease Ca and decrease phos.
