overt hypoth is diagnosed by
Marked ↓ T 4 & mean TSH of 90 mU/L
subclinical hypoth is diagnosed by
T 4 is normal with ↑ TSH (mean = 18 mU/L) = (few symptoms)

clinical manifestations of hyperth are
Anxious, restless, hyperkinetic
Skin is warm & moist & face flushed
Heat intolerance, diaphoresis
Muscle weakness, wasting (proximal limbs)
Fatigue but unable to sleep

pth and calcium
Bone resorption of calcium
Kidney ↑’s reabsorption of calcium (distal tubules) & ↓ reaborption of phosphate
Also intestinal absorption indirectly by vitamine D activation
pth and calcium/phosphate levels
Secretion causes ↑ plasma calcium levels & ↓ plasma phosphate levels along with ↑ excretion of phosphate in the urine
main parathyroid hormone effects
Main physiologic effect is to maintain calcium homeostasis by tight feedback system according to plasma calcium levels

Paresthesias
Convulsions
Irritability & psychosis
Muscle cramps
Decreased myocardial contractility, first degree AV block
Intestinal malabsorption
tx of hypoparathyroidism
High calcium diet with vitamin D
Thiazide diuretics to decrease renal clearance of calcium
Acute hypocalcemia treated with 10 ml of 10% calcium gluconate IV
diuretics will cause decreased renal cl. of ca
thiazide
resp tx of low ca levels
Avoid hyperventilation as alkalosis will further ↓ calcium levels as it causes ↑ binding to protein & ↓ in free, ionized calcium
pts with low ca levels should not receive...albumin

Fatigue
Mental confusion, depression, coma (with levels > 15 mg/dl
