CATCH22

32
Q

what causes pseudohypoPTH

A

end organ R to PTH
tubular R to PTH so have hypercalciuria with hypocalcemia
hyperPO4

33

phenotypic abnormalities without hypocalcemia

34
Q

Albright hereditary osteodystrophy

A
short stature
obese
bradydactyly, round faces
dermal ossifications
mental retardation
35

Mg is cofactor for what

A

PTH secretion

36
Q

hypo Mg common in what disorders

A

chronic GI disease
nutritional deficiency
alcoholism
cis-platinum therapy

37
Q

clinical findings of acute hypoCa

A
muscle cramps
tetany
irritability
carpopedal spasm
convulsions
perioral tingling
tingling of hands and feet
38
Q

clinical findings chronic hypoCa

A
lethargy
personality changes
anxiety state
blurred vision from cataracts
parkinsonism
mental retardation
39
Q

chvostek sign

A

facial muscle contraction when tapping facial nerve

40
Q

trousseau phenomenon

A

carpal spasm after BP cuff from tetany

specific and sensitive for hypoCa

41
Q

if detect low Ca what is next test

A

albumin levels

42
Q

if hypoCa and low albumin Dx?

A

hypoproteinemia

confirm with ionized Ca level

43
Q

if hypo Ca and normal albumin next test?

A

measure PTH, creatinine and phosphorus

44
Q

for every decrease (1) of albumin what do you correct Ca

A

add .8 to Ca

45
Q

what levels of PTH creatinine and phosphorus lead you to consider PTH resistance

A

elevated PTH and phosphorus

normal creatinine

46
Q

what levels of PTH creatinine and phosphorus lead you to consider genetic or acquired hypoPTH

A

low PTH
normal creatinine
elevated phosphorus

47
Q

what levels of PTH creatinine and phosphorus lead you to consider Vit D problem

A

elevated PTH
normal creatinine
normal or reduced phosphorus

48
Q

what levels of PTH creatinine and phosphorus lead you to consider seconary hyperPTH from renal failure

A

increased PTH
increased creatinine
increased phosphorus

49
Q

What is Pagets

A

disorder of bone remodeling that increases rates of bone turnover

50
Q

what are signs of pagets

A

enlargement of skull, bowing of long bones
etiology unknown
increased vascularity of bone

51
Q

Sx pagets

A
HA, bone pain
warmth of skin over involved bone
high output Cardiac failure
entrapment neuropathies (hearing loss)
kyphosis
52
Q

radiogrpahic findings pagets (phases)

mixed
osteoblastic- cotton wool appearance

53
Q

Tx pagets asymptomatic

A

do not treat

54
