Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
A.R
Most commonoly 21-hydroxylase deficiency
Low cortisol –> High ACTH
ACTH – Adrenal androgen produciton –> virilization of females
3 Types of Hormone
Amine
Peptdes:
Steroids
- Intracellular = lipid soluble –> bind to hromone receptor in cytoplasm –> Complex –> DNA
- Acts at DNA
0 Sald/sweet/sex
Impaired fasting glucose and IGT
IFG:
- 6.1 - 7.0
IGT:
7.8 - 11.1
Pendred’s syndrome
A.R.
Sesnorineural deafness.
Mild hypothyroid
Goitre
SNL deafness = worse after trauma.
Tx - thyroid hormone
+ cochlear implants
Hormones that act at cell surface MOA
cAMP
Intracellular Ca release
Recepto TK
Hormones of appetite/WL
LEptin:
Peptde YY
GLP-1
Oxyntomodulin:
Neuropeptide - Y:
Ghrelin:
Hormones in pregnancy
PRL:
LH/FSH:
- Decrease during preg
Thyroid:
Growth hormne
secreted by somatotrophs of ant pituitary gland
Anabolic hormine
pulsatile secretion
Fn:
Increased secretion:
Decrease secretion:
Prolactin
secreted by anterior pituitary
inhibited by Dopamine
Fn:
Increased secretion caused by:
Gynaecomastia
increased oestrogen:Androgen
Causes:
Drugs causes:
Thyroid hormone metabolism
95% boung to TBG/TBPA
T4 –> aT3 via D1/D2
T4 –> rT2 –> inative T2 via D3
D1/D2 inhibited bu:
RAAS
Out –> in of Adrenal cortex = G –> F —> R
Renin:
AT 1 –> AT2 by ACE in Lungs - note ACE also BD bradykinin
therefore ACEI –> bradykinin increase –> cough
AT2 actions:
Pituitary tumours
defined by size:
Defined by Fn:
- Secretory vs on-secretory
Prolactinoma = most common others: - non-secreting adenoma - GH adenoma - ACTH secreting adenom a
Pituitary apoplexy
Sudden enlargement of pituitary following infarction or haemorrhage.
Ft:
Diabetes Insipidus - Cranial
Deficiency
Hypothalamaus damaged in some way therefore doesnt produce ADH.
Causes
ADH
peoduced by hypothalamus
Diabetes insipidus - NEphrogenic
Resistance to aD~H
CauseS:
Diabetes insipidus geeral
Ft - polyuria/polydipsia
inx:
- Plasma OSM increased + Urinary osm decreased
Mx:
Acromegaly
95% due to xs GH - secondary to pit tumour
OThers:
- Ectopic - pancreatinc Ca
6% assoc with MEN 1
Complications:
Inx:
Mx:
others:
Octeotride
LA somatostatin anaologue
- Somatostatin secreted by D cells of pancreas
S.E = Gall stones
uses:
Hypopituitary - order of deficiency
Occurs in order
GH –> LH –> FSH –> ACTH –> TSH
only corticosteroid + T4 necessary for life
Mx:
- Replace glucocrticod 1st (as replaxcing thyroid could –> hypoadrenal crisis).
Low GH - Adult px
loss of muscle mass/power Increased fat Fatigueability/decreas ex tolerance poor mood/ conc / memory Osteoperosis Increased CV risk
MX:
- Replace if poor QOL + GH <9
Thiazolinediones
PPAR - gamma agonist
reduce periheral insulin resistance
adverse effects:
GRaves Ee Dx Risk factors
Smoking
Radio-iodine treatment –> Worsenign or triggering
