    Study Notes

    • SIADH Syndrome: Posterior Pituitary Gland releases excessive Antidiuretic Hormone, causing kidney retention of water, decreased urine output, and increased body fluid volume.
    • Symptoms include hyponatremia, water retention, decreased urinary output, no peripheral edema, and potential brain cell swelling.
    • Treatment for SIADH: Fluid restriction, IV therapy, and diuretics.
    • Nursing care: Strict intake and output, daily weight monitoring, neuro checks, and electrolyte/specific gravity checks.
    • Hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease): Thyroid gland overproduction of thyroid hormones (T3, T4), leading to increased metabolic rate.
    • Causes: Stress, infection, puberty, pregnancy, and autoimmune disease.
    • Symptoms: Enlarged thyroid, bulged eyes, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, weight loss, increased appetite, nervousness, jitteriness, insomnia, warm/flushed skin, emotional, intolerance to heat, increased vital signs.
    • Treatment: Medications to block hormone production, subtotal thyroidectomy, and diagnostic tests like radioactive iodine uptake, T3, T4, and thyroid scan.
    • Nursing care: Increased calorie, vitamin, mineral diet, and food easy to swallow. Post-op: voice checks, semi-fowler's position, suction & trach set ready, check vital signs, mucus clearance, TETANY prevention, and Thyroid Crisis/Thyroid Storm monitoring.
    • Hypothyroidism: Insufficient hormone secretion, caused by failure of thyroid or pituitary glands to provide enough TSH, slowing body metabolism.
    • Symptoms: Slowing of metabolic processes, decreased body heat and temperature, intolerance to cold, weight gain, slowing of thought process, personality changes, lethargy, anorexia, constipation, decreased libido, thin hair loss, skin thick and dry, enlarge facial features, decreased blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
    • Nursing care: Keep room warm, do not rush PT, decreased calorie diet, increased fiber and protein, increased fluids, HRT checkups, and medication adherence.
    • Hyperparathyroidism: Parathyroid gland overactivity, increased parathormone.
    • Symptoms: Hypercalcemia, bone demineralization, pathological fractures, skeletal pain, kidney stones, fatigue, drowsiness, constipation, personality changes, cardiac irregularities, decreased level of consciousness, coma.
    • Diagnostic tests: X-ray, elevated PTH and Ca levels.
    • Treatment: Tumor removal, medications, and supportive care.
    • Nursing care: Force fluids, maintain balance, give diuretics, check calcium levels, and increase mobility.
    • HYPOparathyroidism: Decreased parathormone, resulting in decreased serum calcium.
    • Symptoms: Decreased calcium, neuromuscular irritability, muscle spasms (TETANY), laryngeal spasms, cyanosis, decreased cardiac output, dysrhythmias, positive Chvostek's/Troussneau's signs.
    • Treatment: Hormone replacement therapy, calcium replacement, and supportive care.
    • Nursing care: Check calcium levels and provide a high calcium diet.
    • Cushing's Disease: Adrenal cortex hyper-secretion of adrenal hormones.
    • Symptoms: Moon face, hyperglycemia, water and sodium retention, weight gain, peripheral edema, hirsutism, and various other signs.
    • Treatment: Adrenal or pituitary tumor removal, external radiation, and drug therapy.
    • Nursing care: Maintain a low Na/calorie/carbohydrate diet, monitor potassium levels, and check for side effects like nausea, vomiting, and hepatotoxicity.
    • Addison's Disease: Hypo-secretion of glucocorticoids or mineralocorticoids.
    • Causes: Adrenalectomy, pituitary hypofunction, long-term steroid therapy, cancer, and tuberculosis.
    • Symptoms: Craving for salt, hypotension, hypoglycemia, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, hyperkalemia, anorexia, and nausea.
    • Treatment: Hormone replacement therapy.
    • Nursing care: Monitor intake and output, daily weights, vital signs, skin turgor, and provide liberal sodium intake.
    • Long-term care: Pheochromocytoma, acromegaly, and other disorders are not covered in the provided text.
