SIUE Patho Test III

Patho Test III

QuestionAnswer
How will labs appear in SIADH Serum HYPOosmolarity (<280), HYPOnatremia (<135), Urine HYPERosmolarity, Urine sodium that matches sodium intake, Normal Renal/Adrenal/Thyroid Function
What causes SIADH? oversecretion of ADH leads to reabsorption of water by the renal collecting duct; leads to dilutional hyponatremia.
Clinical Manifestations of SIADH with rapid decline of Na+ from 140 to 130 Fatigue, DOE, Thirst, impaired taste, anorexia, dulled sensorium, no peripheral edema
Clinical Manifestations of SIADH with decline of Na+ to 130-120 Vomitting and abdominal cramps
Clinical Manifestations of SIADH with decline of Na+ to 115-110 confusion, lethargy, muscle twitching, convulsions, severe sometimes irreversible brain damage
What is DI? Insufficiency of ADH that leads to polydipsia and polyuria. It is a partial or total inability to concentrate urine.
What are the 2 types of DI? Neurogenic and Nephrogenic
Describe Neurogenic DI and risk factors Also referred to as central DI. Caused by insufficient production of ADH by the hypothalmus. Can be caused by neurosurgery or brain truama
Describe Nephrogenic DI and risk factors The renal collecting duct is insensitive to ADH. Can be caused by genetic factors or kidney diseases.
How differentiat DI from Other diseases In DI during a water deprivation test, the patient will continue to urinate large volumes, where as other disease processes will show a decline in urination following water deprivation.
DI Labs Serum HYPERosmolarity, Hypernatremia, Urine HYPOosmolarity, decreased urine specific gravity
Similarities Between DI, DM, & SIADH polydipsia, Others?
DM I clinical Manifestations Polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, anorexia
DM II clinical Manifestations usually non-specific, but may include polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, visual changes, paresthesias and weakness
Cause of Hyperpituitarism Pituitary adenoma that arises from the anterior pituitary cells
Clinical Manifestations of Hyperpituitarism Visual Disturbance from optic nerve pressure, increased GH and prolactin, pressure on other anterior pituitarty cells leads to decrease in gonadotropic, THS, and ACTH
Lab changes seen in Graves Disease Increased T3, Increased TH, Decreased TSH, Decreased TRH, Presence of Thyroid Stimulating IgG.
How does a Goiter Form in Graves? Increased metabolism of the thyroid gland leads to hypervacularization and enlargement of the gland

Describe pretibial myxedema subcutaneous non-pitting swelling on the anterior portion of the leg and indurated erythematous skin
What causes exophthalmos Inflammation and fat accumulation of orbital contents
What effects does exophthalmos have on vision? Causes Diplopia, pain, lacrimation, photophobia, and blured vision
Primary Hyperthyroidism Excess TH secreted by the Thyroid gland. EX.) Graves, toxic multinodular goiter, solitary hyperfunctioning nodules
Secondary Hyperthyroidism Over secretion of TSH by pituitary gland
Clinical Manifestations of Hypoparathyroidism They are related to hypocalcemia. Muscle spasm, hyperreflexia, tonic/clonic seizures, laryngeal spasm, occasionally death from asphyxiation, +Chvostek and Trouseau sign
Chvostek Sign Indicator of hypoparathyroidism (hypocalcemia) Tap cheek and the upper lip twitches
Trousseau's Sign Indicator of hypoparathyroidism (hypocalcemia) Inflate BP cuff to greater than SPB and the patient experiences painful carpal spasm.
Hypersecretion of GH in adults Acromegally, caused by increase GH secretion by the pituitary gland; growth plates are closed, so connective tissue increases in size and bony proliferation occurs, often see arthritis

Decreased Adrenal Medulla Function Clinical Manifestations None
Increased Adrenal Medulla Function Clinical Manifestations HTN, Tachycardia, Diaphoresis (caused by pheochromocytoma)
Decreased Adrenal Cortex Function Clinical Manifestations Addisons disease, weakness, fatigue, anorexia, diarrhea, nausea, hyperpigmentation, vitaligo
Increased Adrenal Cortex Function Clinical Manifestations Feminization of Males or Virilazation of females caused by increased secretion of androgens or estrogens
DKA Clinical Manifestations Malaise, dry mouth, polyuria, polydypsia, wt loss, N/V, pruritis, ABD pain, SOB, Lethargy, Kussmal Resp, Fruity Breath
What is most deficient in DKA (compared to HHNKS) Insulin
DKA Labs BG >250, HCO3 <18, pH <7.3, positive ketones in urine and serum, open anion gap (>12), Increaed Fatty Acids
Why does K+ appear normal or increased in the beginning stages of DKA The K+ shifts out of the cells into the plasma as a result of acidosis, but the overall potassium is really low
HHNKS Clinical Manifestations Polyuria, polydipsia, hypovolemia, dehydration, hypotension, tachycardia, wt loss, ABD pain N/V, Hypothermia, coma, seizures
What is most deficient in HHNKS (compared to DKA) Fluid
HHNKS Lab no ketones, BG >600, Serum Osmol >320, Increased BUN/Cr, pH >7.3 HCO3>15, Glycosuria, decreased free fatty acids
Describe DM I Absolute Insulin Deficiency because of cell mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells, Patients are insulin dependent, and it is most common in younger population
Describe DM II Insulin resistance with a relative deficiency; usually not insulin dependent, but some patients require insulin, Usually occurs in Fat Old People, Has a strong genetic presisposition
Labs that indicate Kidney Damage with DM Microalbuminuria (30-300mg/day) happens first; protienuria (>300mg/day); Decreased GFR
Clinical Manifestations of Cushings Caused by excessive ACTH; Thinning of scalp hair, moon face, acne, supraclavicular pad, easy bruising, truncal obesity, thin extremities, increased facial/body hair
Delayed Puberty No signs of puberty by age 13 for girls and age 14 for boys
Causes of Delayed puberty Usually just a physiologic delay; may be caused by chronic or systemic conditions (Renal Disease, CF, DM, excessive exercise, anorexia, hematological disease, hypothyroid, IBD, gonadal failure)

Mitral Stenosis Marrowing Of Mitral Valve; Atrial Hypertrophy; Decreased CO caused by less blood getting to LV; Can Lead to Pul HTN and RHF; Diastolic Murmur
Aortic Regurgitation After Systole blood flows back from aorta to LV; Increased SBP and widening pulse pressure; Leads to LHF becuase of ventricular dilation
