weak, fatigue, N/V/D, muscle aches, ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION, weight LOSS, salt/sugar cravings

39
Q

OR

Metyrapone stimulation test (blocks 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol)

40
Q

1’ = skin and hyperkalemia

2’ and 3’ = NO skin (no ACTH) and NO hyperkalemia (aldosterone synthesis preserved)

42
Q

Na+ levels in hyperaldosteronism

47
Q

Most sensitive measure for hypothyroidism

A

High TSH

48
Q
