Q

Why are patients with Crohn’s at increased risk for nephrolithiasis - mechanism?

A

Crohn’s -> Fat Malabsorption -> Calcium binds to fat instead of oxalate -> More free oxalate is absorbed into the bloodstream -> hyperoxaluria and oxalate stone formation

Q

In pregnancy what happens to T3, T4, TSH? Mechanism?

A

T3 up
T4 up/same
TSH down

Mechanism:
Beta-HCG -> acts like TSH, b/c it has a similar structure, thus beta-HCG stimulates T3 and T4 production
Estrogen -> stimulates synthesis Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), which binds T3/T4, which decreases the pool of free T3/T4, and patient compensates by producing more T3/T4
