Q

when a thyroid nodule get a FNA

A

get FNA with thyroid nodule if the patients have HIGH tsh (HYPOthyroid) as most cancers are cold

49
Q

what happens in a thyroid nodule with low TSH

A

low TSH is hyperthyroid and means it is not likley to malignant so you do radio123 to se if hot or cold

50

graves optho is due to retroorbibtal fibroblast sitmluation with the TSH-R stimulating Ab

52
Q

odd presentaiotn of myopathy

when do you do TSH with high CK levels

A

do TSH with high CK levels in someoen with s/s of hypothyorid and myopathy

54
Q

what DOES NOT work in thyroid myopathy

A

in thyroid myopathy ANA is no good as hypothyroid patients can have psoitive ANA so you need to do TSH and worse iw muscle bioospy

55
Q

What does hypothyroid do to blood labs

A

hyptohyroid causes hyperlipidiema, hyponatremia and aysx elveations of CK

56
Q

A patient is tired with high CK and muscle pain, low Na and hihg lipids, test?

Hypothyoridism cause high CK and unexplained myopathy with hyponatremia and elevated lipids in the blodo and sometimes hepatic issues and milkd hepati enzyme elevations

57

mild elevation of TSHa dn normal T3/4 without s/s

hypocalcmia often follows blood transfusion due to citrate in the blood

64
Q

when does a srugical patinet get hypocalcemia

A

surgical patients often get hypocalcemia as they get citrate infusion with chaltes chalsium

65
Q

Levels for low Mg

A

low Mg affects PTH release and K+ and lowers K+ and Ca. it causes low PO4,low PTH, low calcium and is common in alcholics

66
Q

What can vitamin D toxicity cause

A

vitamin D toxicity can cause high calcium, high PO4 and low PTH

67
Q

describe the algorithm for Cushing dx

A

you start with cortisol and low dose dexa and then you do acth, if acth is low you do adrenal Ct if acth is high you do MRI of pituitary right away then if there is a mass you do dexa suppression to confirm

68
Q

how is dx of cushings confirmed comign from pituatiry

A

i acth is high you do an mir and then you confirm it with the dexa suppression test

69
Q

what if actht is high in cushing sna dyou mri ptiutair and no mass?

A

then you do petrosal sinus smapling

70
Q

When is high dose dexa meth used

A

use high dose dexa meha in acth dependent coritsol secreiotn with a + brain tumor as a confirmation and do inferior petrosal sinus samling if no mass seen

71
Q

pirmary polydipisa has low Na and very high urine osmolaityr

72
Q

Who gest low vitamind D

A

gatsric resection, chronic diarrhea, hypocalcemia syx and bone pain with pseudofractures or muscle weakness and bone pain
