filled with brown fibrous tissue - brown because of deposited hemosiderin from hemorrhage

Most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism?
What sets it apart from other causes?
chronic renal disease, will show hyperphosphatemia (other causes = hypophosphatemia)
Pituitary adenomas are most often associated with the increase of what hormone?
PRL - sx/ amenorrhea, galactorrhea, low libido, infertility
Treatment for prolactinoma
- Dopamine agonist - Bromocriptine, Cabergoline 2.Transsphenoidal resection
Which test is associated with acromegaly to confirm Dx?
failure to suppress serum GH following oral glucose tolerance test
What is increased in serum with acromegaly?
IGF-1
Which two drugs are used in acromegaly and mech of action?
Octreotide - somatostatin analogue (-) GH release
Pegvisomant - ( GH-R inhibitor - “Put a peg in that viisible growth, man”)
Secondary Nephrogenic DBI is associated with which drugs?
Lithium, Demeclocycline (ADH antagonist)
Difference in lab values with Central v Nephrogenic DBI?
Central - dec ADH, increase in urine osmo with ADH analogue
Nephrogenic - normal ADH , no change in urine osm with ADH analogue
3 drugs used to treat Nephrogenic DBI?
HCTZ, Indomethacin, Amiloride
4 major causes of SIADH?
Ectopic (Small cell lung cancer)
CNS disorders/head trauma
Pulm disease
Drugs
("Lungs, and brain, and drugs, and cancer)Which endocrine disorder is associated with large tongue ,odor, spaces between the teeth?

Other poss q stem sx/ arthritis, gout, large toes/fingers/nose/head, impaired glucose tolerance, polyps, thick neck, coarse facial features, carpal tunnel, cardiomegaly
If the pituitary stalk is cut due to trauma, what is the triphasic response?
DBI–>SIADH–>DBI
What is the carrier protein for ADH?
Neurophysin
Failing to correct sodium levels slowly in SIADH leads to what pathology?
Osmotic demyelination syndrome
Why do you not see edema, rales, or JVD in SIADH?
It’s a euvolemic condition, only Na is decreased in the body, urinating out a ton of Na, while retaining H2O
