Endocrine/Diabetes

Pathophisiology Test 2 Note cards

QuestionAnswer
What is the prevalence of diabetes? 20 million (type 1; type 2 90-95%)
What type of abnormalities are associated with Type 1 diabetes? Absolute insulin deficiency.
What is the average decrease in lifespan b/c of DM? 15 year decrease
What is the difference between Type 1A and 1B? Type 1A is autoimmune and 1B's cause is unknown.
What was Type 1 diabetes called in the past? Juvenile onset diabetes.
What was Type 2 diabetes known as in the past? Adult onset diabetes.
What are the characteristics of Type 2 diabetes? Multifactorial, Decrease or abnormal beta cell fxn, INSULIN RESISTANCE, abnormal receptors or post receptor signals.
What does a decrease or abnormal beta cell fxn lead to? Decrease insulin and amylin.
What is amylin? It fxns to control sugar levels in the blood from the pancreas.
What percentage of individuals have insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes? 90-95%
What are the fasting glucose and 2 hr postprandial levels in Pre-Diabetes? Fasting Glucose 100-125 2 hour postprandial 140-199
What is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus? Glucose intolerance related to the demands of pregnancy.
What are the characteristics of Metabolic Syndrome? Obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, HTN, impaired glucose, Pro-inflammatory states.
Which type of diabetes has risks such as autoimmune and has an HLA genetic defect? Type1A
Which type of diabetes has Insulin Auto Antibodies (IAA)? Type 1A
Which type of diabetes has a strong familial lin that is not genetic and has no HLA? Type 2
Which type of diabetes has an environmental trigger that stimulates production Islet Cells Autoantibodies (ICA) that destroy pancreatic beta cells? Type 1A
Which type of diabetes has truncal obesity as the #1 risk factor with a sedentary BMI > 25? Type 2
Which type of diabetes has Metabolic Syndrome as a risk? Type 2
Which type of diabetes has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as a risk? Type 2
If you have a history of IFG or GDM what type of diabetes are you at risk for? Type 2
If you have nonalcoholi fatty liver disease, what type of diabetes are you at risk for? Type 2
If you have excess hormones such as (GH,cortisol, glucagon, epinephrine) what type of diabetes are you at risk for and why? Type 2 because they all antagonize insulin.
If you have HTN or dyslipedemia, what type of diabetes are you at risk for? Type 2
What is a desired HgbA1c? < 6% or 7-8% in the elderly
What does a high A1C indicate? An increase in Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD).
At what point does Microvascular disease start? At Hgb A1C 5.7-5.9
Describe a normal urine sample. No glucose, no ketones, no protein
What is microalbuminuria? When the kidney leaks small amounts of albumin in the urine b/c of the abnormally high permeability for albumin in the renal glomerulus.
What does microalbuminuria indicate? A risk of kidney involvement because of Diabetes Mellitus.
How much kidney fxn is lost at Stage 3 CKD? 50%
What is the interpritation of normal creatinine in the urine? There is no kidney damage.
In which type of diabetes is there altered pancreatic beta cells which equal and absence of fxn insulin? Type 1
In which type of diabetes is ketoacidosis less common? Type 2
In which type of diabetes are their excess skin tags and acanghosis nigricans? Type 2
In which type of diabetes is there insulin resistance? Type 2
In which type of diabetes is ketoacidosis spontaneous? Type 2
In which type of diabetes is there absolute insulin deficiency? Type 1
In which type of diabetes is there low or undetectable plasma C-peptide? Type 1
Which type of diabetes has receptor/post receptor defects? Type 2
This type of diabetes has hyperinulinermia due to chronic high BS and insulin resistance in earlier stages. Type 2
What does a decrease in amylin affect the body? Increases plasma glucagon.
What do alpha cells release? Glucagon
What is C-peptide? A precursor to insulin.
How does a decrease in insulin affect the body? It increases ketones causing ketoacidosis in patients.
How does GLP-1 fxn? Increases insulin, beta cells, satiety and Decreases glucagon, gastric emptying.
Intra-abdominal obesity is the greatest risk factor for what type of diabetes? Type 2
How does obesity affect insulin and beta cells? Obesity has inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNFa) that promote insulin resistance and beta cell death.
Polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia are seen in what type of diabetes? Mainly Type 1 but can be seen in Type 2.
The 3 P's can be seen in Type 2 diabetes if what occurs? If the BS is greater than 180 mg/dl.
What type of diabetes has pneumoturia and ketonuria? Type 1
What type of diabetes has pruritis? Type 2
In Type 2, what does an absence of S/S mean? That the glucose level is controlled but pathogenesis may still be occurring.
Why does osmotic diuresis (polyuria) occur? B/c of increased blood sugar.
What type of diabetes has wt. loss, fatigue, and weakness and why? Type 1 b/c of the decrease in insulin causing a decrease in the use of nutrients causing hunger.
Which type of diabetes can polyphagia (excessive hunger) be seen? Type 1
What type of diabetes is DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) seen in ? More common in Type 1 b/c Type 2 has some insulin so less likely to develop ketones.
What type of diabetes is Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Non Ketoic Coma (HHNK)seen in? Only in Type 2 due to presence of some insulin.
Name the ACUTE DM complications. Infections, hypo/hyperglycemia, DKA, HHNK, Somogyi/Dawn Phenomenon.
What does hyperosmolarity indicate? An increase in insulin.
What are the s/s of HYPOGLYCEMIA? BS <60, decreased LOC, sweating, tremors, nervousness, increase pulse palpitations, increase BP, tachypnea.
What percentage of beta cells are destroyed before a consistent high BS? 80-90%
What are the S/S of hyperglycemia? 3 P's, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, HA, abdominal cramping.
What range of BS is considered Hyperglycemia? >180 but < 500 mg/dl
What are the three Hyperglycemia Cell effects? Glycosylation, Polyol pathway, and increase Protein Kinase C
What does glycosylation do? Binds glucose to collagen/proteins of BV/tissues which causes thickening of basement membranes, and increases cytokines, lipid oxidation and O2 free radicals all causing Tissue Injury.
How does an increase in Protein Kinase C affect the body? In increases insulin resistance, cytokines, and permeability.
What parts of the body does the Polyol pathway affect? Kidneys, lens, nerves, and RBC's.
How does the Polyol pathway affect the body? Unused glucose is converted to sorbitol/fructose in the cells causing an increase in H2O thereby causing cell injury.
What are DM Chronic complication? Diabetic neuropathy, microvasular, and macrovascular complications.
Name some diabetic neuropathyies. Motor= foot drop, wrist drop. Sensory= peripheral/CNS axonal degeneration. Autonomic= decreased SNS response.
Name some Microvascular complications. Dermopathy (harmless brown spots on shins), retinopahty, nephropathy.
