Q

What does LH do? FSH?

A

GnRH (pulsatile) in hypothal causes LH and FSH from ant pit. LH goes to Leydig cells in testes to make testosterone, and FSH goes to Sertoli cells in testes to make Inhibin B (and mature sperm)

In females, LH and FSH go to ovary and stimulate estriol and inhibin

Q

What is the glucose tolerance test?

A

used to find cause of excess GH

give glucose which should inhib GH, if GH still high then there may be pit adenoma

Q

DI
central
nephrogenic
and tests

A

DI = DILUTE urine (cant conc urine)

  • central: not making enough ADH
  • nephrogenic- making adh but kidneys resistant to it
  • dipsogenic DI is excess water drinking
  • test with water deprivation test: if urine still dilute, is DI. if give desmopressin (DDAVP) and still dilute, its nephrogenic

Q

Insulin tolerance test

Study These Flashcards
A

-giving insulin to stim hypoglycemia

should cause increase in ACTH, cortisol and GH (these are diabetogenics)

20
Q

Cushings disease vs syndrome

Study These Flashcards
A

Acquired disorder of the pituitary

  • Cushings Disease: pit ADENOMA making too much ACTH
  • SYNDROME is just excess cortisol from adrenal glands making too much
21
Q

Hyperprolactinemia vs Real Prolactinemia

Study These Flashcards
A

Hyper- elev PRL due to drugs hypothy etc

Real- elev PRL due to pit adenoma!

22
Q

what can elev PRL cause?

Study These Flashcards
A

infertility, amenorrhea from neg feedback to pit (suppr LH and FSH), galactorrhea in women, irreg menstru, breast atrophy; in men may cause impotence, visual field abnormalities if large and affecting optic chiasm

23
Q

Tx for elev PRL

Study These Flashcards
A

bromocriptine or carbegoline (DA agonist) or surg

24
Q

Dont eval PRL levels during….

Study These Flashcards
A

preg! bc always high

25
Null Cell tumor
endocrinologically inactive tumor, only alpha chains (eg same in TSH HL and GH) are made, may show positive immunostaining
26
GH excess causes
gigantism in kids, acromegaly in adults (incl bone enlargement, sep of teeth, HTN and impaired glucose tolerance bc diabetogenic)
27
tx for GH excess
surg, rad, somatostatin analog to suppress GH, or GH-R antag, DA agon (last resort)
28
GH deficiency
reduced strength, incr fat, decr muscle, intolerance to cold, incr waist hip ratio, thin dry skin, low labile mood
29
SIADH
too much ADH results in fluid retention so LESS SALT (HYPONATREMIA) in blood (euvol but less salt ratio)
30
Para-pituitary tumors
Craniopharyngeoma compresses optic chiasm causing bitemporal hemianopsia (CONFUSED with pit adenoma bc similar sx), pit stalk can be severed during surg
31
Hypopituitarism
laceration of stalk, trauma, radia, infarct, iniltrations of sarcoid/langerhans histio/hemochromatosis (must rule out esp in hypognadism), infxn (TB, abcess, syphilis), Sheehan's
32
Sheehan's syndrome?
post-partum pit necrosis, can't lactate
33
Why does DM incr sus to infxn?
bc of hyperglycemia!
34
How does hyperglycemia make DM pts more prone to infxn?
-GLYCOSYLATION of proteins is ABNORMAL -PHAGOCYTE dysfxn (so macros dont work properly/migrate) -PERFUSION to tissues is reduced (too much ROS and not enough NO, so vasoconstr), and endoth/SM dysfxn causing vessel damage -NEUROPATHY of lower extremities increases infxn (NOT due to immunodef!)
35
Infxns that are more likely in DM?
``` Pneumonia UTI TB react Candida Lower extremity ulcers w osteomyelitis Malignant otitis externa Zygomycosis Fournier's gangrene Emphysematous cholecystitis ```
36
What tx do we give pts with foot ulcers with or without underlying osteomylelitis?
With means > 6 wk of IV abx, possible surg, if no osteo then 2-6 wk oral abx
37
Charcot's foot
ligaments and bones in foot displaced leading to swelling (worsens bc pain unnoticed by pt), assoc with osteomyelitis
38
What is osteomyletiits in foot ulcer and how do you dx?
ulcer all the way down to bone dx with imaging etc drainage is sign of DM foot infxn, along with inflam markers such as ESR and CRP (more advanced form is ulcer-assoc osteomyelitis, chronic)
39
What abx coverage do you give for minor vs major diabetic foot infxn?
Minor- gram + coverage Major- ALSO gram - and anaerobes staph and strep are common causes
40
what happens if no tx for DM foot ulcer infxn?
amputation
41
What strep org may lead to foot infxn?
strep AGALACTAE | gram + org that grows in chains, B-hemolytic
42
What is Fournier's gangrene orgs tx
necrotizing infxn of genetalia and and perineum - gram + incl MRSA gram - and ana - tx with METRO and clindamycin
43
Murcormycoses/Zygomycoses
- causes rhinocerebral infxn (eg caused by Rhizopus bread mold) - Ketoacidosis reduces affinity for transferrin freeing up iron which fungal cells use - CNS issues, invasion of blood vessels - Black escar on nares/mouth - dx: biopsy, histo: nonseptate RIGHT ANGLE BRANCHINGHYPHAE - tx antifungal or surge etc
44
Emphysemetous cholecystitis orgs compl
infxn of GB with gas forming orgs (eg CLOSTRIDIUM), leads to GAS GANGRENE/perforation
45
Malignant otitis externa org sx tx
ext ear infxn extending to soft tissue bone and possibly CNS - caused by PSEUDOMONAS aeruginosa - pain at night then causes bells palsy and osteomyelitis of TMJ - tx with ciprofloxacin (but res so can use cefs or piper/tazo or carbs), or surg if later
46
What should we vax for in DM
Influenza, pneumococcus, varicella | Foot care!
47
Things like GANGRENE, FUNGAL infxns, OTITIS, OSTEOMYELITIS, etc are caused by?
DM! | as well as foot ulcers
