Caused by pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction (↓ TSH
secondary hypothyroidism
or TRH)
the thyroid gland is normal, the pituitary is also normal,
tertiary hypothyroidism but the hypothalamus is unable to produce thyroid
releasing hormone (TRH) to stimulate the pituitary gland

What test do we use to creatinine clearance
assess glomerular
filtration?
Calcium and phosphate are parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, calcitonin
regulated by
1. stimulating bone resorption or bone formation to
increase/decrease serum calcium levels
2. increasing reabsorption of renal tubular calcium and
PTH regulates calcium and decreasing the reabsorption of phosphate by the
phosphate by proximal tubule
3. enhancing 1a-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D
to produce 1,25 (OH)2D which stimulates both calcium
and phosphate
