phys II Flashcards
what can cause thyrotoxicosis
graces factitious thyrotoxicosis toxic adenoma toxic nodular goiter pituitary overproduction of TSH granulomatous thyroiditis subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis
What is factitious thyrotoxicosis
exogenous thyroid hormone with gland atrophy and low thyroglobulin
what is toxic adenoma
hot nodule, over production of thyroid hormone by the nodule with low TSH and gland atrophy surrounding the nodule
what is granulomatous thyroiditis
subacute, viral in etiology, with painful gland
what is subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis
silent thyroiditis, autoimmune in etiology with non-tender gland, transient
postpartum thyroiditis
what helps to differentiate Dx of causes of thyrotoxicosis
radioactive iodine scan
differentiate primary, secondary tertiary hypothyroidism
primary is problem in thyroid gland
secondary problem in pituitary
tertiary is problem in hypothalamus
examples primary hypothyroidism
hashimotos
T cell mediated
example secondary hypothryoisism
pituitary insufficiency
example tertiary hypothyroidism
hypothalamic disease
zones of the adrenal gland and what they secrete
1) zona glomerulosa- aldosterone
2) zone fasciculata- cortisol and zona reticularis- androgens
3) medulla- epinephrine
what regulates the aldosterone release from adrenal gland
Angiotensin II and K
hence why aldosterone leels normal in hypopituitary situation
what controls release of cortisol and androgens in adrenal gland
ACTH
what occurs if enzyme 21- alpha hydroxylase is deficient
excess adrogens, no glucococorticoids or minerlocorticoids
what occurs is absent 17-alpha hydroxylase
increase in mineralocotricoids and absent androgens and low glucocorticoids
what occurs if absent 11 beta hyroxylase
absent glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, escess androgens
what occurs if absent 17,20 desmolase
no androgens
stimualtion for cortisol release
decreased blood cortisol sleep wake transition stress, surgery, trauma pschiatric ADH alpha adrengergics, beta adrengergic antagonists serotonin
inhibitory factors for cortisol secretion
increased blood cortisol
opioids
somatostatin
what negatively feedsback on renin release from kidney
decreased Na excretion and H20 excretion and increased K excretion causing increased circulating volume, increase ECvolume, increased BP
what will a decrease in plasma K in kidney cause
and increase in K plasma which will stimuate the adrenal Cx
actions of glucocotricoids
increase gluconeogenesis increase proteolysis increase liplysis decrease glucose utilizaiton decrease insulin sensitivity
actions of mineralocotricoids
increase Na resorption
increase K secretion
increase H secretion
actions of adrenal androgens in females
stimualte growth of pubic and axillary hair, sitmualte libido
actions of adrenal androgens in males
same as testosterone
what is released in times of stress like falling and dislocating hip
cortisol, epinephrine and norepi
decrease in the insulin/glucoagon ration
