Insulin promotes glucose uptake mostly in the liver,
Actions of Insulin
muscle and adipose tissue
Diagnosing by clinical symptoms alone can be
difficult; can be similar to cystitis
Diagnosis established by:
-Urine culture
Acute Pyelonephritis
-Urinalysis (WBC casts indicates pyelonephritis, but
may not always be present)
-Signs/Symptoms
-Complicated pyelonephritis requires blood
cultures and urinary tract imaging
, Reversible
Determining prognosis- kidneys respond to diuretic
Acute renal failure
with good output; this indicates that kidneys are
functioning well
Onset of adrenal crisis is
signified by hypotension
Hypotension can progress to
complete vascular collapse
and shock. This is known as
Adrenal Crisis-
adrenal crisis or addisonian
Hypocortisolism
crisis and develops with
undiagnosed disease, acute
withdrawal of glucocorticoid
therapy or the occurrence of
infection or other comorbid
stressful events
Decreased short-term memory occurs with mild
Alzheimer's Disease cognitive decline as a result of a reduced
hippocampus size
, Autonomic Neuropathy includes:
Autonomic Neuropathy- GI Symptoms:
Complication of --Decreased esophageal motility
Diabetes --Gastroparesis
--Delayed gastric emptying
Associated with compression of Cranial nerve V
Bacterial Meningitis and results in severe and sharp stabbing pain that
can worsen with chewing
Associated with Cranial Nerve VII paralysis and
Bell's Palsy results in facial asymmetry and inability to close
eye, smile or frown on the affected side
