After initiation of medication for treatment6-8 weeks
of hypothyroidism, when do you recheck TSH level?
What is the screening tool for the thyroid? TSH Level
What is the normal range for TSH? 0.5-5.0
When do you order a full thyroid profile?
If thyroid screening of TSH comes back abnormal, then we will reorder
TSH and T3, T4.
What disorder demonstrates a low TSH level and
high T3 and T4 levels?
What disorder demonstrates a high TSH level
and low T3 and T4 levels?
What medication is used to treat
hypothyroidism? Levothyroxine (Synthroid)
What dose of Synthroid do you want to start your
patient on? If patient is elderly or if they have a significant cardiac history then
we are going to start at a lower dose of 12.5-25 mcg po daily.
In a normal healthy patient, we will start at 25-50 mcg po daily.
, When TSH level is stabilized, how often doEvery 6- 12 months you
recheck their level?
What is the go to medication for treatmentTapazole
and PTU of hyperthyroidism?
How do you manage treatment forWe need to use PTU instead if they are in their first trimester. hyperthyroidism in
a pregnant patient?After first trimester, then they can be switched to tapazole.
What medication class is used to treatBeta- blockers- these help manage tachycardia and symptoms of
hyperthyroidism?palpitations
What are 2 other treatments for theThyroidectomy and radioactive iodine hyperthyroidism?
What labs are used to measure and evaluateGFR, BUN, Creatinine kidney
function?
What lab value is most accurate descriptionGFR- this is going to tell us how the kidneys are filtering the of kidney
function?blood and how well they are removing waste.
What is a normal GFR value? >90
What GFR value indicates an absolute need<15- this means that patient is in CKD stage 5 to start
a patient on dialysis?
What is the second most important labCreatinine value to
measure kidney function?
What is creatinine?A waste product in the blood. If your kidneys are functioning
properly, then this waste product is removed by your kidneys.
When kidney function decreases, your creatinine level starts to
rise.
What is a normal creatine value? Around 1
Why is BUN least telling for kidney function?Blood urea nitrogen is a normal waste product when your
body breaks down urea. However, this is not specific to the
kidneys. It can also indicate liver issues.
What is a normal BUN level? 10-20
With which first-line BP medication do weACE Inhibitors
want to check Renal function, GFR, BUN, Creatinine and
Potassium?
