Other Flashcards
IG2 made by
binds
job
made by mesenchymla tissue
binds IGF1 R and insulin R
important for fetal development
IGF1 made by
binds
liver
IGF 1 R
jobs of GH
increase lipolysis (ILGF1 doesnt)
acts like glucagon (increases glucose)
decreases urinary PO4, increases urinary Ca
retains Na, K, Cl, Mg
IGFBP3
GH dependent, therefore used to monitor GH levels clinically
laron dwarfism
defective GH receptor
presents as IGF1 def
eunuchoid body status
disproportionately long arms and legs
seen with hypogonadism
basophil
acth
acidophiles
make prolactin and growth hormone
sheehan’s syndrome
spectrum of symptoms starting with failure of lactation that are representative of pituitary failure by hemorrhage and infarct
P is more sensitive during pregnancy because it undergoes hyperplasia an dneeds more blood
drugs that cause hypothyroidism
amioradarone
PTU
methimazole
lithium
main cause of hypothy resistance
mutation in B1 subtype of nuclear T3 receptor
the B1 mutation is a
dominant negative (one bad subunit ruins the heterodimer) mutation–>heterodimer can no longer bind DNA
how do you treat hypothyroidism in rpegnancy
increase dosage of medication because of increase in T3 degradation by placenta
why treat hypoadrenalism before hypothyroid
tx with thyroxine with increase cortisol clearance further decreasing cortisol leevels- cortisol crisis
drug induced hyperthyroidism
iodine or iodinated contrast
thyroiditis (release stored T)–amiodarone, ifn, radiotherapy
free thyroxine index
T4 x T3 RU
= active T4
HLA for hyperthyrodisim
DRW3 and HLABA
graves triad
diffuse thyroid hyperplasia
infiltrative opthalmopathy
infiltrative dermopathy
mechanism of GD opthalmopathy
activated t cells invade tissue–>local accum of glycoasminoglycans and edema
how do androgen secreting tumors present
clitormegaly and menstraul change
ddx hirsutism
polycystic kidney disease- acanthosis nigricans idiopathic congenital adrenal hyperplasia rare neoplasm- ovarian, adrenal cushing syndrome exogenous andr0gen use
how to differentiate between adrenal adn ovarian
PE and increase DHEAS–DHEA is produced by both, but only adrenals can maek DHEAS
pseudogene + 21 hydroxylase block
pseudogene cxover with real gene–>now pseudogene has a promoter–>can accumulate mutations that are tolerated and keep goign
dx CAH
measure urinary 17OHP
highest predicative value for cushing
proximal muscle weakness
osteoporosis
spontaneous bruising
hypokalemia
\false positives in dex test
stress
mising dex dose
estrogen, pregnancy, obesity–>increases transcortin
phenytoin (increases dexA METAB)
