Hyperglycemia
30
HYPERGLYCEMIA: Glucosuria happens when glucose level reached ____
160-180 mg/dL
31
HYPERGLYCEMIA: Period of plateu glucose level
300-500 mg/dL
32
Hyperglycemia Lab Findings: Increased Blood glucose Increased urine specific gravity Ketones in serum and urine Decreased pH of blood and urine Electrolytes imbalance (Decreased Na, Increased K)
Hyperglycemia
33
Imbalance between production and utilization of glucose
Hypoglycemia
34
Basis of Diagnosis of Hypoglycemia
Whipple's Triad
35
1. Low Blood Pressure 2. CNS symptoms (Syncope, Weakness, Irritability, Death) 3. Alleviation of symptoms after glucose administration
Whipple's Triad
36
Infants and Children who lacks this hormone are prone to Hypoglycemia
Cortisol Growth Hormone
37
Condition with Decrease CORTISOL
Addison's Disease
38
Condition with decrease GROWTH HORMONE
Dwarfism
39
Diagnostic Test for Hypoglycemia
5-hour Tolerance Test (Hypoglycemic "dip" often after3 hrs)
40
5-hour Tolerance Test: 65-70 mg/dL
Presence of glucagon and other glycemic hormones
41
5-hour Tolerance Test <60 mg/dL
Suggestive of Hypoglycemia
42
5-hour Tolerance Test <50-55 mg/dL
Symptoms of Hypoglycemia starts to appear
43
Gives more energy than glucose
Fatty acids
