Question
Answer
Hypothalamus hormones   show
🗑
Pituitary hormones   show
🗑
show Epinephrine; Cortisol; Aldosterone  
🗑
show produced by pit; neg inhib by DA (so the more DA, less prolactin)  
🗑
show Upper cortical inputs (CNS); Autonomic NS; environmental cues (light & temp); Peripheral endocrine FB  
🗑
FSH: fx   show
🗑
show regulates ovulation; stimulates testosterone in men [if no testosterone prod: LH increases]  
🗑
TSH: fx   show
🗑
show induces lactation  
🗑
show controls acral growth  
🗑
show stimulates cortisol production  
🗑
Primary hypothyroidism   show
🗑
show Pituitary gland fails to make TSH; TSH is inappropriately LOW; FREE T4 is LOW; Other Pit Hormone Deficiencies; cannot follow TSH (must also follow Free T4)  
🗑
Hypothyroid S/S   show
🗑
show Much rarer than primary  
🗑
Secondary hypothyroidism: you cannot:   show
🗑
Secondary hypothyroidism: poss sequela of:   show
🗑
show hypothyroidism & low normal TSH, low normal t4  
🗑
show replete thyroid hormone before repleting cortisol; if pt adrenal/ cortisol deficient, & replete TH first, revs up metab, can lead to adrenal crisis (wont have enough cortisol to support metabm)  
🗑
show Sx of Hypothyroidism; Low TSH; Low T4; Other Sx to suggest Pan-Hypopituitarism  
🗑
show Cortisol Deficiency  
🗑
Primary Adrenal Insuff =   show
🗑
Secondary Adrenal Insuff =   show
🗑
Tertiary Adrenal Insuff =   show
🗑
Primary Adrenal Insuff: Sx   show
🗑
show Low morning cortisol <5  
🗑
Secondary Adrenal Insuff: due to:   show
🗑
Secondary AI & RAAS   show
🗑
Secondary AI: Sx   show
🗑
show Low morning cortisol <5; Low ACTH in setting of low cortisol; No Response to synthetic ACTH (cortrosyn) stim test; Insulin Tolerance Test; Metyrapone Test  
🗑
Secondary AI: synthetic ACTH (cortrosyn) stim test   show
🗑
ACTH & 11-deoxycortisol   show
🗑
show Give metyrapone: blocks cortisol prodn, cortisol goes down, FB to hypo-pit, if pit working, more ACTH to inc cortisol  
🗑
show F: Amenorrhea/Infertility; M: Erectile Dysfunction/ Infertility; Inappropriately Low FSH/LH for low estrogen or testosterone  
🗑
Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism: Eval   show
🗑
show ADH insufficency: cannot concentrate urine.  
🗑
show Follow every 1-2 hrs: Na; UOP, Urine Osmo; Wt; BP & HR (Lying / Standing); Once serum osmo >300 & urine osmo has not increased, give 10 ug of vasopressin and follow urine osmo  
🗑
show distinguish btw central and (nephrogenic) DI. Nephrogenic: give AVP, kidney will not respond, urine remains dilute; Central: give AVP, later serum osmo changes?  
🗑
Diabetes Insipidus: DDx   show
🗑
show Panhypopituitarism (often have intact ADH secretion with deficient ant pit hormones); Sarcoidosis/ Infiltrative Dz; Tumor; Trauma; Image Pituitary to Dx  
🗑
Sx of Hypopituitarism   show
🗑
show Investigate / Tx Underlying Cause (MRI pit); Replace Hormones (unless CI); Cortisol First; Thyroid Hormone; Sex Steroids: Estrogen (unless postmenopause); Testosterone  
🗑
show Galactorrhea; Amenorrhea; Infertility  
🗑
show ED; Infertility; HA; Mass Effect (eg, from tumor in head); Galactorrhea  
🗑
Pathognomonic for hyperprolactinemia in men:   show
🗑
show Hyperprolactinemia; Pit Adenoma; Renal Fail; PG  
🗑
show Hyperprolactinemia; Pit Adenoma; Renal Fail; PG; Drugs; Other Pit Tumors; Hypothal Tumors; Chest Wall Stimulation  
🗑
Drugs that cause Hyperprolactinemia   show
🗑
show dopamine agonist (bromocriptine) often replaces need for surgery.  
🗑
show Dopaminergic Drugs if: Macroadenoma; Mass Effect; Visual Field Deficit; Fertilty Desired  
🗑
Prolactinoma: Mgmt: Hormone Replacement if:   show
🗑
show Tx w/ Dopaminergic Drugs; DA inhib fx on prolactin; shrink tumor; Cabergoline / Bromocriptine; AE: nausea, hypotension  
🗑
Acromegaly vs Gigantism   show
🗑
show Arthropathy, neuropathy, CVD; HTN; resp dz; malig; CHO intol/DM  
🗑
show MEN-1 / other FH; Prominent Brow; Enlarged soft tissue of hands / ft; Teeth Splaying; DM; HTN/ LVH; Can be Subtle  
🗑
show Elevated insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1). Glucose suppression test: GH Fails to suppress <2 ng/mL after 75 g CHO load  
🗑
show Surgical; Somatostatin Analogs: Sandostatin; XRT  
🗑
show Too much Cortisol Prodn; Exogenous (Use of synthetic Glucocorticoids); Endogenous = Cushing Dz  
🗑
show DM; HTN; Osteoporosis; Psychosis; Easy Bruising; Truncal Obesity; Hyponatremia; Moon Facies; Buffalo Hump; Mx Wasting; Hirsutism; Purple Striae; Supraclavicular Fat; Infections  
🗑
show Pit ACTH overprodn; Ectopic ACTH Prodn; or Pit/Adrenal Adenoma producing cortisol; 75-80 % of cases with endogenous cortisol excess; elevated cortisol levels do not suppress hypothalamic & ant pit secretion of CRH & ACTH  
🗑
Ectopic ACTH production =   show
🗑
Ectopic ACTH production poss d/t:   show
🗑
show ACTH & CRH are suppressed; Caused by: Adrenal Adenomas; Adrenal Ca; Micronodular or Macronodular Hyperplasia  
🗑
Hypercortisolism: Dx   show
🗑
show if suppress to <2, then do not have Cushing (dex provided enough glucocorticoid to pit, signals need not prod cortisol); if ACTH >2, prob has tumor that does not respond to dex  
🗑
show Do not do radiographic studies prior to lab studies (poss Incidental Tumors, False Negative Scans)  
🗑
