Question
Answer
what blood sugar is needed to make diagnosis of diabetes, fasting vs random   >126 >200  
🗑
complications of diabetes are in 3 categories   macrovascular-cad and stroke, microvascular-retinopathy and nephropathy and neuropathy  
🗑
despite good control of diabetes you often still have this complication   Macrovascular  
🗑
life threatening complications of elevated blood sugar   DKA and hyperosmolar coma(non ketotic hyperglycemia )  
🗑
iv fluid treatment for DKA   initially normal saline then 1/2 ns. then when bs is less than 250 add in glucose  
🗑
difference between DKA and hyperosmolar coma   no acidosis and ph 7.3 (normal 7.35-7.45)  
🗑
mortality rate associated with hyperosmolar coma   50%  
🗑
how do you treat low blood sugar in a comatose patient   IM glucagon or iv 50% glucose  
🗑
hypo vs hyperthyroidism   hashimotos vs Graves  
🗑
treatment for hyperthyroid   PTU, methimazole, radioactive Iodine, and surgery  
🗑
3 types of hypothyroidism   primary, secondary and tertiary  
🗑
primay hypothyroidism is caused by   defect in the gland  
🗑
defect in the gland due to 3 causes   hashimotos, iodine deficiency and drugs  
🗑
what drugs can cause hypothyroidism   amiodarone, lithium, interleuken-2 and alpha interferon(Alia)  
🗑
primary hypothyroidism can also be caused by   thyroidectomy, post radioactive iodine therapy, and neck irradiation  
🗑
secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism is caused by   pituitary failure hypothalmus failure  
🗑
2 main causes of hypercalcemia   hyperparathyroidism and cancer  
🗑
treatment for hypercalcemia includes 7 options   iv fluids, calcitonin, corticosteroids, iv bisphosphonates, oral phosphate, and dialysis. sometimes surgery  
🗑
hypocalcemia is caused by 7 causes   hypoparathyroidism, pseudohyperparathyroidism, chronic renal failure, vitamin d deficiency, magnesium deficiency, chemotherapy, medications  
🗑
4 medications that can cause hypocalcemia   diuretics, estrogen, laxatives, magnesium  
🗑
when calcium is low what lab should you check and why   albumin. because half of your calcium is bound to albumin  
🗑
what type of calcium is most important   free calcium or ionized because it is not bound to proteins  
🗑
sx's of low calcium   neuromuscular irritability and tetany  
🗑
2 test for low calcium   Chvostek's sign and Trousseau's sign  
🗑
describe the Chvostek's sign   tap over the facial nerve and the facial muscles will spasm  
🗑
Trousseau's sign   blow up bp cuff past a patient systolic bp and wrist and fingers will spasm  
🗑
ekg findings of low calcium   prolonged QT  
🗑
treatment for low calcium mild vs severe   oral vs iv calcium  
🗑
types of adrenal insufficiency   primary and secondary  
🗑
primary adrenal insufficiency is a.k.a.   Addison's disease  
🗑
define Addison's   when the adrenal cortex fails to make enough cortisone  
🗑
causes of primary adrenal insufficiency are 5   autoimmune, hemorrhage, infection, tumor, medication  
🗑
the discontinuation of what medication can cause adrenal insufficiency   corticosteroids  
🗑
secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by   lack of ACTH produced by the pituitary  
🗑
symptoms of adrenal insufficiency   weakness, weight loss, abd pain, nasuea, vomiting, hyperpigmentatio  
🗑
Addisonian crisis symptoms   severe vomiting, diarrhea, low bp, elevate K, coma and death  
🗑
diagnosis of addison's with what test   cortisol level and ACTH stimulation test. if ACTH is elevated primary disease is present  
🗑
treatment of addison's disease is with   cortisol  
🗑
what is Paget's disease   increased rate of bone remolding in older people  
🗑
cause of Paget's   unknown  
🗑
lab test in Paget's   elevated alk phosp  
🗑
treatment of Paget's symptomatic vs asymptomatic   symp-oral bisphosphonates non symp-no treatment  
🗑
Cushing disease is caused by   too much cortisol  
🗑
too much cortisol can be caused by   excessive steroid therapy, too much ACTH  
🗑
too much ACTH can be caused by   pituitary abnormality or tumor  
🗑
what types of tumors   adrenal and small cell carcinoma of the lung  
🗑
diagnosis of cushings syndrome should be made by 2 test   am cortisol and dexamethasone suppression test  
🗑
physical findings of cushing's   moon face, buffalo hump, weakness, fatigue, poor healing of skin, irregular menses  
🗑
Syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) is defined as   too much ADH-leading to concentrate urine  
🗑
concentrated urine leads to what in the blood 3   hyponatremia, volume overload within the body-which causes low plasma osmolality  
🗑
symptoms of SIADH   nausea, fatigue and headache, can lead to coma  
🗑
causes of SIADH   tumors like small cell of the lung), CNS trauma or infection and medications  
🗑
treatment for SIADH   fluid restriction and slow correction of sodium, plus loop diuretics, lithium, and demeclocycline  
🗑
define Diabetes Insipidus   not enough ADH  
🗑
what happens to urine and osmolality when ADH goes down   urine gets diluted, plasma osmolality goes up  
🗑
sx's of DI-3   polyuria, polydipsia and dehydration  
🗑
types of DI   central, nephrogenic, dipsogenic(too much water), gestational  
🗑
central is caused by   pituitary of hypothalmic  
🗑
nephrogenic is caused by   kidney not responding to the ADH  
🗑
dipsogenic is caused by   ingestion of too much water  
🗑
gestational   complication of pregnancy  
🗑
diagnosis of DI is confirmed by   water deprivation test or vasopressin test  
🗑
treatment of DI-2   find underlying cause and vasopressin(DDAVP)  
🗑
causes of hypopituitarism   idiopathic, trauma, tumors , CNS infection and iatrogenic(post radiation)  
🗑
infarction of the pituitary is called   Sheehan's syndrome  
🗑
6 anterior pituitary hormones   anterior-TSH, PROLACTIN(milk production after baby), FSH, LH, ACTH, GROWTH HORMONE  
🗑
2 posterio pituitary hormones   ADH and oxytocin(for uterine contraction and milk let down)  
🗑
