44
Q

cell types in PT gland

A

chief cells secrete pth
oxyphils are acidophilic, large
fat

45
Q

Primary hyperPTH sx

A

painful BONES, renal STONES, abdominal GROANS and psychiatric MOANS
(eg PT adenoma)

46
Q

Secondary hyperPTH causes and sx

A

chronic hyPOcalc! maybe from renal failure, low Ca intake, steat, vit D Def
metastatic calcs in tissues

47
Q

Sx of hypocalcemia

A

eg from hypoPTH (from digeorges, dmg etc)

tetany, mental status, CV ocular and dental issues

48
Q

PTH Ca and PO levels in psuedohypoPTH?

A

low Ca so seems like due to low PTH
but PTH high, organs just resistant so builds up
since no calc to bind PO, PO4 high

49
Q

what do D cells and PP cells in endocrine pancr do

A

D cells secrete somatostatin to suppress BOTH insulin and glucagon
Pancr Polypeptide cells inhibit intestinal motility

50

Gastrinoma: ZE sydnrome
Others

52
Q

What cells make up adrenal medulla?

A

Enterochromaffin cells which secre catechol and SUSTENACULAR cells which support

53
Q

Diff in RAA levels between primary and secondary hyperaldo?

A

primary (conns)- excess aldo, lowering renin

secondary (from CHF)- excess activation of RAAS so high renin AND aldo

54
Q

Addisons types

A

PRIMARY CHRONIC ADRENOCORTICAL INSUFF

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome type 1 (APS1) wiht chronic candida, skin/dental/nail changes, other autoimm disorders

Can also be caused by TB and fungal, carc from lung etc

55
Q

Sx of addisons types

A

primary adrenal insuff
Fatiguer/weakness/GI, high ACTH causing skin pigment from MSH,
low aldo thus high K/H so hypokalemia

Q

Calcium Correction Equation!

A

We need to correct for calcium by using this equation when there is high (>4) albumin in the blood:

corrected ca =
TOTAL SERUM CA +/- [(4-alb)x0.8]

so if alb is higher tan 4, subtract from total serum ca
if alb lower than 4, add to total serum ca
