Q258. Pathophysiology behind Renal Osteodystrophy
A258. Nephron loss reduces phosphate excretion, causing hyperphosphatemia, which lowers serum calcium and increases PTH secretion; (secondary parahyperthyroidism)

Q262. Goal and Tx for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism /; Renal Osteodystrophy; (2 drugs and 2 if drugs dont work)
A262. Goal:; Normalize calcium-phos balance Tx:; 1. Aluminum-containing antacids: reduce GI absorpt of PO4-; 2. Vit-D with Calcitrol: inc serum Ca++ and reverse bone damage; 3. Subtotal parathyroidectomy; 4. Renal transplant
Q263. If patient has hypocalemia or hypophosphatemia (or both) what is the next step?
A263. Check for Hypomagnesemia:; Ca++ and PO4- will not elevate if Magnesium is low
Q264. Dx: Rapid transfer of Calcium into bones following removal of hyperactive parathyroid; What electolyte disorder can it cause?

A266. men
Q267. tx of prolactinoma
A267. bromocriptine x 2yrs; or cabergoline (both are DA agonists); surgery if no response to medication
Q268. dx of acromegaly
A268. incresaed igf 1; the do glucose suppresion test (glucose normally supresses gh)
Q269. how should random gh level testing be done
A269. it shouldn't be done... it's not useful
Q270. associated sx (aside from teh obvious) of acromegaly
A270. increased glucose, tg, po4, and prl levels
Q271. causes of central DI
A271. sarcoid; TB; syphilis; encephalopathy
Q272. causes of nephrogenic DI
A272. lithium; hypokalemia; hypercalcemia
Q273. tx of central DI
A273. DDAVP; chlopromide (increases ADH secretion and enhances ADH effects)
Q274. tx of nephrogenic DI
A274. HCTZ (works by depleting body of Na --> reabsorption of Na and water in proximal tubules)
Q275. why is there no edema in SIADH
A275. natriuresis also occurs b/c the body senses increased blood volume, and secretes ANP, causing natriuresis; decreased proximal tubule reabsorption of Na b/c of increased volume; RAAS is inhibited
Q276. tx of SIADH
A276. if no sx: water restriction or ns + loop diuretic; if sx: water restriction + isotonic saline
Q277. difference between cushing syndrome and cushing dz
A277. syndrome = increased gc; dz = increased acth from pit
Q278. effect of hypocalcemia on reflexes
A278. increased
Q279. pseudohypoparathyroid
A279. end organ doesn't respond to pth

Q281. Cortisol functions
A281. diabetogenic; liplolytic; proteolytic; osteolytic; anti-inflammatory; maintains bp
Q282. How is cortisol anti-inflammatory?
A282. induces lipocortin, which inhibits phospholipase A2; inhibits IL2; inhibits histamine, 5ht release
Q283. Sympathetic effect on Insulin release?
A283. B-adrenergic causes increased release; a2 stimulation inhibits insulin release
