Altered Hormonal and Metabolic Function - Coggle Diagram
Altered Hormonal and Metabolic Function
FSH and LH: key components to the HPG axis
polycystic ovarian syndrome: an alteration in LH and FSH ratio levels
clinical manifestations: irregular menstrual cycle, hirsutism
diagnostic criteria: hormonal testing (FSH,LH, testosterone, etc.)
Treatment: metformin, birth control, changes to lifestyle
hypogonadism: low FSH, LH and estrogen caused by stress, tumors, anorexia, etc.
Treatment: GnHR therapy,
clinical manifestations: delayed puberty, amenorrhea, etc.
TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone
hypothyroidism: elevated TSH levels causing underactive thyroid
Clinical manifestations: weight gain, cold intolerance, etc.
hyperthyroidism: low TSH indicating overactive thyroid
clinical manifestations: weight loss, heat intolerance, anxiety, etc.
Treatment: Thyroid hormone replacement, medications, etc.
ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulates adrenal cortex to produce and release cortisol
Addisons disease: elevated ACTH level caused by adrenal gland destruction
clinical manifestations: weight loss, fatigue, low blood pressure
Treatment: cortisol and aldosterone replacement
cushings disease: excess amount of ACTH causing an increase in cortisol levels
clinical manifestations: moon face, obesity, hypertension
Treatment: cortisol suppression medication
Prolactin: hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland that regulates lactation
hyperprolactinemia: caused by increase in prolactin
clinical manifestations: infertility, amenorrhea, low libido, etc.
treatment: dopamine agonist, surgery
hypoprolactinemia: decrease in prolactin levels
clinical manifestations: inability to lactate while postpartum
treatment: treat underlying pituitary causes
GH: growth hormone plays critical role in growth, metabolism, and tissue repair
GH deficiency: genetic mutation, GHRH deficiency
clinical manifestations: delayed puberty, short stature, etc.
Treatment: GH therapy
gigantism: excess of growth hormone
clinical manifestations: enlarged hands and feet, abnormal height growth
Treatment: medications, resection of adenoma
oxytocin: peptide hormone produced by hypothalamus; plays role in reproduction, lactation, childbirth, etc.
deficiency: deficient in oxytocin production
excess: over production of oxytocin
treatment: lifestyle changes to control stress
