anion gap metabolic acidosis
MUDPILES
TRH or TSH from hypothalamus
TRH
stimulates release of ACTH
CRF
PIF
inhibits prolactin release - hypothalamic hormone
peptide hormone stimulatingcell repro, growth etc
GH
from hypothalamus stimulating GH
GHRH
function of GnRH
release of LH and FSH
most common cause of nephritic syndrome
bergers
recurrent gross or microscopic hematuria
bergers
gross hematuria post URI
bergers
IgA deposits in the mesangium of glomerulus
bergers
collecting duct function
water reabsorption and sodium retention via ATPase
cells that actively reabsorb sodium in the CD
principle cells
tumor associated with excessive ACTH and cushings
small cell carcinoma of the lung
indication the small cell ca is cause of cushings syndrome
hypercortisolism that is not suppressed by low or high dexamethazone tests
cushings disease only refers to hypercortisolism by
ant pit
doesnt respond to dexamethasone
small cell cancer, primary adrenal hypercortisolism
most common endogenous cushings
pituitary adenoma
most common cause of cushings overall
iatrogenic
connection btwn cortisol and DM
hypercortisol = decreased insulin sensitivity
tests for cushings syndrome
24 hr free urine cortisol, dexamethasone suppression test
cystinuria
defect in aa transport in the proximal tubule
cystine
two cysteine bound by sulfide
