Altered hormonal and Metabolic function, Damages
-
Cell receptors
Can result in decreased number of receptors, lack of receptor sensitive to hormone, the presence of antibodies that block of occupy the receptor cites, the presence of tumor cells with receptor activity that deprives the unaffected cells of hormones.
Endocrine glands
Can lean to problems with target-tissue function. Can be impaired through genetic defects, autoimmune conditions, neoplastic growths, hypoxia, radiation, certain medications, and other injuries
-
Feedback mechanisms
May fail to respond to hormone levels and continue to suppress or simulate hormone production and secretion. Common ectopically produced hormones are ADH and ACTH.
-
Diagnosing and treatment
-
-
Lab test: glucose, calcium and others
-
-
Treating hormone alteration depends on cause, removing tumor, lifelong hormone replacement
