1. SIADH (syn- *Over secretion of ADH, Kidneys retain water causing hypervolemia (dilute sodi-
drome of inap- um- hyponatremia)
propriate antidi-
uretic hormone) CAUSES- cancers, lung cancer, duodenum, etc
Causes Infection in lungs or CNS -> pneumonia, meningitis,
S/S AVP gene mutation, any surgerys
Treatment medication- Chlopropamide (oral antidiabetic)

S/S- THIRSTY, DEC urine (very concentrated) , anoerxia, (not hungry/uncomfort-
able) fluid overload, dyspnea fatigue vomiting,
hyponatremia, confusion, seizures

Treatment - Treat hyponatremia

2. Diabetes In- *DECREASED secretion of ADH,
suipidus (DI) diluted and excessive urine output, (concentrated -> Hypernatremia, INC plasma
Patho osmalality),
Causes
S/S CAUSES- ** Nephrogenic - problems with the kidneys- Genetic (Vasopressin &
Treatment Aquaphorin genes),
diseases- amyloidosis & pylenephritis
Drug- lithium carbonate (can damage kidney tubules)
** Neurogenic - lesions or trauma to hypothalamus, posterior pituitary, TBI com-
plications
Pregnancy- body produces vasopressinase which causes ADH to break down
(decrease)

S/S- polydispisa (extreme thirst), Inc Urine output (Polyuria) diluted, hypoten-
sion,

Treatment- If tolerable, Drink alot of water to correct the problem

Antidiuretic Hor- Produced by the hypothalamus
mone secreted and stored by the posterior pituitary
Where is it pro- regulates the amount of water in the body
duced? (can also constrict blood vessels and also called vasopressin)
Where is it
stored/secreted?
Normal function

4. Hypopituitarism (Disease of the anterior pituitary)
Cause- ischemia/infarction, edema, adenoma, aneyursm of the pituitary - pituitary
enlarges due to edema which causes more damage (pituitary is in an enclosed
space) -> Tiusse damage, decreased blood supply, fibrosis

Dec in all pituitary hormones- (Panhypopituitarism)
ACTH - Adrenocorticotropic
TSH- thyroid stimulating hormone
FSH & LH follicle stimulating & Lutenizing
GH- Growth hormone

5. Oxytocin Toxicity Disease of posterior pituitary
/ Oxytocin Insuf- Hyper secretion- Toxicity
ficiency Hypo secretion- Insufficiency

6. ACTH Deficien- N/V, weakness, lack of energy
cy (Hypopitu- HYPOGLYCEMIA, hypocortisol, low urine
itarism) due to hypocortisol insulin sensitivity is increased due to less glycogen stores/
Adrenocorti- less glucogensis
cotropic Can be life threatening
deficiency
Low aldosterone (RAAS can help)
Low urine output

TSH Deficiency Same as hypothyroidism
(hypopituitarism) Cold intolerance, Myxedema (wax appearance of swelled skin), Slowed metabolic

Follicle Stimulat- Atrophy of sex hormones (Atrophy-degenerte)
ing & Luteinizing dry, thinning of vaginal tissue
deficiency

9. GH Genetic de- GH, GHRH, IGF 1
ficiency in kids
(GENES)

10. GH insufficien- Growth failure,
cy (Hypopitu- Fasting hypoglycemia
itarism) INC body fat, DEC muscle mass,
Growth Hor- osteoporosis, dry skin, decreased swelling,
mone insufficien- Dyslipidemia/atherosclerosis - early mortality
cy

11. hyperpituitarism Causes- Usually by a pituitary adenoma (benign tumor) or hyperplasia - over-
(Anterior growth of tissue
pituitary) some genetic cases
OVERSECRETION of anterior pituitary hormones-
ACTH
GH
FS & LH
TSH
