🗑
Exogenous corticosteroid use   Cushing syndrome  
🗑
Dexamethasone suppression test   Cushing syndrome  
🗑
Central obesity, abdominal stria, hyperglycemia, moon facies, buffalo hump, easy bruising   Cushing syndrome  
🗑
Acute steroid withdrawal   Addison dz, crisis  
🗑
Hyperpigmentation, hypoglycemia, orthostatic hypotension, hypotension not responsive to fluids, hypotension following an illness, trauma, or surgery   Addison dz, crisis (Low aldosterone; get Random or AM cortisol, ACTH stimulation test)  
🗑
Worsening fatigue, wt loss, weakness, recurrent abdominal pain, hair loss, hyperpigmentation. Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia   Addison dz, crisis (Low aldosterone; get Random or AM cortisol, ACTH stimulation test)  
🗑
Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia   Acute adrenal insufficiency (Addison crisis)  
🗑
Polyuria (to 12 L/day), polydipsia. Dilute urine, Hypernatremia   Diabetes insipidus  
🗑
Concentrated urine. Hyponatremia   SIADH  
🗑
45, X – low hairline, low set ears, webbed neck, short stature; shield chest, wide set nipples, infertility, lack of Secondary sex characteristics   Turner (gonadal dysgenesis  
🗑
XXY male - short stature, low intelligence; small firm testes, gynecomastia, abn arm-body length   Klinefelter (hypogonadism)  
🗑
Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) is:   Cortisol Deficiency  
🗑
Primary Adrenal Insuff =   Addison Dz; adrenal gland does not respond to ACTH & not make adrenal hormones; 80% 2/2 autoimmune destn of adrenal cortex  
🗑
Secondary Adrenal Insuff =   Pit does not make ACTH; adrenal is not stimulated to make cortisol  
🗑
Tertiary Adrenal Insuff =   Suppression of CRH & ACTH by exogenous cortisol use  
🗑
Primary Adrenal Insuff: Sx   Fatigue, hyponatremia, Hyperkalemia; ortho hypotension; delayed DTRs; Hyperpigmentation (from ACTH, only in primary AI);  
🗑
Secondary adrenal insuff & RAAS   b/c secondary & tertiary adrenal insuff only involve low ACTH levels, the RAAS is still intact; Only cortisol is deficient.  
🗑
Secondary adrenal insuff: Sx   Hyperkalemia & Hypotension are rarely seen; hyperpigmentation is not seen  
🗑
Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism =   F: Amenorrhea/Infertility; M: Erectile Dysfunction/ Infertility; Inappropriately Low FSH/LH for low estrogen or testosterone  
🗑
Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism: Eval   MRI Pituitary to assess for cause; Labs [prolactin; Iron/TIBC (Hemachromotosis); if estrogen level low, do Provera challenge]  
🗑
Diabetes Insipidus =   No ADH; unable to conc urine; Polyuria; Polydipsia (esp night); UOP: 5-20 L / d; U spec grav < 1.0006; Hypernatremia; Normal Glucose  
🗑
Diabetes Insipidus: Water Deprivation Test   Follow every 1-2 hrs: Na; UOP, Urine Osmo; Wt; BP & HR (Lying / Standing); Once serum osm >300 & urine osm has not increased, give 10 ug of vasopressin and follow urine osm  
🗑
Water Deprivation Test: purpose   distinguish btw central and nephrogenic DI  
🗑
Water Deprivation Test: Nephrogenic:   give AVP, kidney won’t respond, urine remains dilute  
🗑
Causes of Diabetes Insipidus   Panhypopituitarism; Sarcoidosis/ Infiltrative Dz; Tumor; Trauma  
🗑
Sx of Hypopituitarism   Secondary Hypothyroidism; Hypocortisolism (secondary adrenal insuff); Amenorrhea, Menopause, Erectile Dysfunction, Infertility; Polyuria/Polydipsia  
🗑
Hyperprolactinemia: Sx (Women)   Galactorrhea; Amenorrhea; Infertility  
🗑
Hyperprolactinemia: Sx (Men)   ED; Infertility; HA; Mass Effect (eg, from tumor in head); Galactorrhea (Pathognomonic)  
🗑
Prolactinoma: tx w/ Dopaminergic Drugs if:   Macroadenoma; Mass Effect; Visual Field Deficit; Fertilty Desired  
🗑
Prolactinoma: tx w/ Hormone Replacement if:   No Fertility Desired; Microadenoma; Visual Field Full; No Mass Effect; Estrogen or Testosterone is low  
🗑
Acromegaly vs Gigantism   Acromeg: pit tumor secreting GH in adulthood; Gigantism: pit tumor secreting GH during PUBERTY before epiphyseal plate fusion; rapid linear growth, heights up to 8ft 11 in  
🗑
Risks of LT exposure to GH include:   Arthropathy, neuropathy, CVD; HTN; resp dz; malig; CHO intol/DM  
🗑
When to Suspect Acromegaly   MEN-1/other FH; Prominent brow; enlarged soft tissue of hands/ft, doughy handshake; splayed teeth, macroglossia; DM; HTN/ LVH;  
🗑
Cushing syndrome   XS cortisol prodn; Exogenous (Use of synthetic Glucocorticoids); Endogenous = Cushing Dz; poss 2/2 adrenocortical tumor or nonpit ACTH-producing tumor (eg, SCLC)  
🗑
Cushing syndrome: Sx   DM; HTN; Osteoporosis; Psychosis; Easy Bruising; central Obesity; Hyponatremia; Moon Facies; Buffalo Hump; prox Mx Wasting/weakness; Hirsutism; Purple Striae; Supraclavicular Fat; Infections; amenorrhea  
🗑
Cushing Dz may be due to:   Pit ACTH overprodn; Ectopic ACTH Prodn; or Pit/Adrenal Adenoma producing cortisol  
🗑
Cushing Dz: endogenous cortisol excess:   75-80 % of cases; elevated cortisol levels do not suppress hypothalamic & ant pit secretion of CRH & ACTH  
🗑
Ectopic ACTH production =   Nonpituitary Tumors secrete ACTH and do not respond to negative inhibition of high cortisol levels  
🗑
Ectopic ACTH production poss d/t:   Small Cell Lung Ca; Carcinoid Tumors; Pheochromocytoma; Thymoma; Pancreatic Cell tumors; Medullary Ca of the Thyroid  
🗑
Adrenal Hypercortisolism   ACTH & CRH are suppressed; Caused by: Adrenal Adenomas; Adrenal Ca; Micronodular or Macronodular Hyperplasia  
🗑
Lack of stimulating hormone: causes   Pituitary (PanHypopituitarism); Hypothalamus (Stress, Tumor)  
🗑
Hyperfunctioning of Endocrine Gland   Autonomous Fn of Primary Gland (Thyroid Toxic Adenoma); Autonomous Fn of Gland making Stim Hormone (Cushing Dz: ACTH); Ab’s that Stim Hor Receptor (Graves / TSI); Ectopic Prod Stim Hormone (Ectopic ACTH)  
🗑
Hypercalcemia S/S   serum Ca >10.5 mg/dL; altered mentation, N/V; polyuria, polydipsia, stones  
🗑
