Action of Hormones: Ovaries
estrogens, progesterone, Stimulates development of secondary sex characteristics effects repair of the endometrium after menstration
-
Endocrine Labs
- Bun 10-30
- Normal ration 20:1
- Serum Creatine 0.5-1.5mgdl
- (creatine more reliable for kidneys)
-
Stimulate ADH release -
increase plasma osmolality decrease fluid volume pain, nausea, vomiting.
-
Inhibit ADH release
- decrease plasma osmolality increase fluid volume
- badrenergic agonist, alcohol
-
Gerontologic Differences in Assesment for Thyroid
atrophy of thyroid gland, TSH, and T3 secretion is decreased.
-
Gerontologic Differences in assessment for parathyroid
increased basal level of PTH, and increased secrections
Clinical significances icnreased calcium resorption from bone, hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria (excessive urine calcium excretion)
-
What are 3 hormones produced and secreted by the thyroid gland?
- thyroxine- T4, triiodothyronine-T3, and calcitonin (inhibits reabsorption loss of decreased calcium levels)
- T3 Much more potent and has a greater metabolic rate.
-
ADH is a potent vasoconstrictor - reabsorbs h20 in renal tubes.
ADH = posterior pituatary
-
What is most important stimulate to ADH
plasma osmolatily measure of solute concentration of circulating blood.
Plasma osmolatily will increase when there is a decrease in extra cellular fluid or an increase in solute concentration.
-
Cause of Diabetes Insipitus
- Brain tumor, brain surgery, CNS infection, inadequate renal response to ADH drug therapy especially lithium, renal damage, or hereditary renal disease, excessive
- h2o intake lesion in thirst center
-
Clinical manifestation of Diabetes Insipitus
polydipsia (increase thirst) polyuria (increase urination) urinating 5-20L/day fatigue general weakness suddenly with excessive fluid loss after intercranial surgery
-
Lab findings of Diabetes Insipitus
Decreased specific gracity-<1.005
Increased mOsm/kg - 295or higher/kg
H2o deprivation test
-
Nursing Diagnosis for Diabetes Inspitus
- maintain adequate hydration, hormone replacement, I&Os,
- DDAVP (desmopressin acetate)-analog of ADH
- assess weight, HA, restlessness, and S/s of hyponatremia
-
Interventions for Diabetes Insipitus
vasopressin, manangment of complications - fluid loss, shock, hypernatrmia) Thiazides (slow GFR)
