Question
Answer
Prolactin >200: due to:   Hyperprolactinemia; Pit Adenoma; Renal Fail; PG  
🗑
Acromegaly Dx   Elevated IGF-1; GH Fails to Suppress <2 ng/mL after 75 g CHO load  
🗑
If suspect pt is hypocalcemic, measure 1,25-D?   No; measure 25-OH D  
🗑
Looser zones & Milkman lines on xray =   Pseudofractures (seen in osteomalacia)  
🗑
Pituitary adenoma diagnosed by:   CT or MRI of brain to evaluate sella turcica  
🗑
GH lab testing   GH on fasting AM samples (often not diagnostic); GH Stim tests (hyperglycemia normally suppresses GH secretion); GH remains elevated in acromegaly  
🗑
IGF-1 levels influenced by:   nutrition (low in malnutrition)  
🗑
ADH measurement   usually unmeasurable; 2.3-3.1 pg/mL  
🗑
SIADH labs:   low serum osmolality, low serum sodium & high urine osmolality  
🗑
ADH problems: tests   DI: H2O deprivation test (pos if central DI); SIADH: water loading test  
🗑
Water loading study results   (1L H2O; hourly urine/serum x 5 hrs) Normal: urine osmo < serum osmo; SIADH: urine osmo > serum osmo  
🗑
Pituitary dwarfism: IGF-1 & GH   Useful to compare IGF-1 levels to GH; IGF-1 is low whenever GH is deficient; IGF1 more stable than GH; mediate GH fx on sk mx  
🗑
DEXA used for:   PA spine, lateral spine, hip, forearm, total body  
🗑
Quantitative CT bone scan used for:   spine (trabecular only)  
🗑
Osteomalacia labs   Low serum Ca, PO4, 25-OH vit D. High PTH and alk phos. Check renal labs.  
🗑
Transvers radiolucent markings on imaging (pseudofractures) suggest:   Osteomalacia  
🗑
Paget disease labs   High alk phos (2/2 osteoblast activity). Ca & PO4 normal. Urinary pyridinolines or N-telopeptide.  
🗑
Paget disease imaging   increased uptake on technetium bone scan. Early dz: lytic lesions on x-ray; later, coarse, dense, chaotic, deformed cortical bone  
🗑
PCOS LH:FSH ratio   >2.0 common  
🗑
Hirsutism / virilization: lab eval   Serum testost (total & free); androstenedione (>1000: ovar adrenal neoplasm); DHEAS (>700: adrenal source of androgen xs; Need adrenal CT to detn if hyperplasia or ca)  
🗑
Hirsutism / virilization: Imaging   Pelvic Exam & US; Abd CT (esp adrenal glands/ fine cuts): adenoma / ca / hypertrophy  
🗑
gene for achondroplasia   FGFR3  
🗑
central diabetes insipidus confirmed by   vasopressin challenge test (pos if reduced UOP)  
🗑
Paget dz labs   high alk phos & urine Ca; normal serum Ca & PO4  
🗑
Paget disease on x-ray   dense, expanded bone; fissures in long bone  
🗑
Osteoporosis: bone turnover markers   Urine N-telopeptide, pyridinium crosslinks, serum osteocalcin. All used to monitor response to tx; should decrease >35% in 3 months  
🗑
