In primary hypothyroidism, the circulating level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) will
be _____________? - Answer-elevated
A unique feature of Grave's disease is protrusion of the eyeballs and is called? -
Answer-exopthalmos
Most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is ________________ in the area where
the glands are locanted? - Answer-surgery
A common cause of endocrine disorders, especially in women is __________________
- Answer-autoimmune
In adrenocortical deficiency, the most sever manifestations are related to inadequate
quantities of the hormone ____________? - Answer-cortisol
A potentially lethal condition in which there is an acute elevation of circulating thyroid
hormones is called ________________ - Answer-thyroid storm
A patient who presents with hyperparathyroidism would likely to be present with
abnormally elevated _____________ levels? - Answer-calcium
, T/F: Diabetes insipidus is characterized by hypernatremia? - Answer-True
T/F hypothyroidism manifestations include heat intolerance? - Answer-False, they are
more sensitive to cold
T/F: Pheochromocytoma is a life-threatening disease characterized by intermittent,
severe hypertension? - Answer-True
T/F: A patient with hyperparathyroidism would be likely to present with hyper responsive
muscle reflexes? - Answer-False. Hyperparathyroidism=hypercalcemia. Hypocalcemia
would have hyper responsive muscle reflexes
T/F: Patients with type II diabetes mellitus may take both oral agents and injectable
insulin - Answer-True
T/F: One of the classic manifestations of diabetes mellitus is increased appetite, called
polydipsia? - Answer-False. polyphagia is increased appetite. polydipsia is increased
hunger
T/F: Type one diabetes mellitus differs from type 2 diabetes mellitus because
endogenous insulin prevents lipolysis and production of ketone bodies? - Answer-True
T/F: a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus is obesity - Answer-true
T/F: risk factors for immune-mediated type 1 diabetes are genetic predisposition and
poor dietary habits? - Answer-false, Poor dietary habits could be type 2
T/F: the primary source of energy for muscle tissue in the fasting or resting state is free
fatty acids? - Answer-True
what electrolyte changes can happen with hyperparathyroidism? - Answer-Calcium-
hypercalcemia, hypermagnesemia
and hypophosphatemia, and metabolic acidosis
Pathophysiology of hyperparathyroidism - Answer-tumors, hyperplasia, and chronic
hypocalcemia (renal failure) can cause excessive PTH production
What electrolyte changes can happen with hypoparathyroidism? - Answer-Low calcium,
hypocalcemia, hypomasesemia,
hyperphosphatemia, and metabolic alkalosis
Pathophysiology of hypoparathyroidism - Answer-parathyroid gland does not prduce
enough PTH either due to surgery, radiation, autoimmune disease, or congenital defect.
Hypoparathyroidsim manifestations - Answer-paresthesias, tetany, fatigue/weakness,
dysrhythmias, hypotension, abd. cramping, diarrhea, painful menstruation, dry corase
