what defines short stature

two S.D. below the mean

kids who grow 2in/year*** (5cm), between 3yo-puberty do NOT have an underlying bad disorder

if you're 3 S.D. below mean or growing <5cm, then pathology till proven otherwise

what findings on perinatal Hx suggest HYPOPITUITARY?

-hypoglycemia*


-prolonged jaundice*


-cryptorchidism*


-microcephaly

see p. 149 BRS for algorithm on short stature

s

kid is 2 S.D.s below the mean for height, but has normal onset PUBERTY, and normal BONE AGE, and grows at least 2in/yearn

familial short stature

kid is short but has LATE puberty and DELAYED bone age, but STILL growing 2in/year

onstitutional short stature

Pathologic short stature

height is 3+S.D. below and growth velocity is <2in/year

short stature, frontal bossing*, bowed legs*, low serum Phos*, high Alk phosphatase*

rickets

lab eval for patients with short stature

-CBC


-ESR


-T4


-Ca, Phos, Crt, Bicarb

when to mention IGF-1 if you're considered for growth factor deficiency?

during stage IV sleep

imaging for short patients

-Bone age with xrays of hand/wrist


-skull xrays to look for pituitary gland (calcification means craniopharyngioma)

patient is growing <2in/year, labs are normal, but IGF-1 is LOW*, and bone age is DELAYED*

workup for GROWTH HORMONE deficiency*

-prolonged neonatal jaundice


-hypoglycemia


-cherubic face *


-central obesity*


-microcephally


-cryptorchidism


-MIDLINE DEFECTS

could be GROWTH HORMONE def.

-MRI head to r/o lesion!!!

patient is short with low T4, high TSH, and anithyroid peroxidase* antibodies*

hypothyroid from Hashimotos

1st sign of puberty in girls

breast buds

1st sign of puberty in boys

testicular enlargement

poor growth and delayed bone age WITH precocious puberty

hypothyroidsim

levels of FSH, LH, and sex steroids during puberty

high

what happens to LH levels when you give GnRH to patients with central precocious puberty?

they INCREASE (wouldn't if the precocity was ***PERIPHERAL)

any boy with precocious puberty gets what imaging:

MRI head

precocious puberty in a boy WITHOUT testicular enlargement (but still has gynecomastia or pubic hair)

PERIPHERAL, FSH is not high

etiology of periphearl precocious puberty

-adrenal tumors, hyperplasia


-gonadal tumors


-steroids

assymetric testicular enlargement

Leydig cell tumor

boy has polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, irregular hyperpigmented macules (cafe au lait), and endocrine issues

McCune-Albright syndrome causing peripheral precocious puberty

which sex tumors are unique to BOYS?

B-HCG secreting tumors !!!! (chest, pineal gland, gonad, liver)

Two categories of DELAYED puberty

1. HyPOgonadotropic hypogonad


1. hyPERgonadotropic hypogonad

HyPOgonad hypogonad

-hypothalamus/pituitary don't work


-LOW FSH, LOW LH (nothing to stim them)


-LOW test, LOW estradiol


(FLAT GnRH stim test)

HYPER hypogonad

-d/t end organ dysfunctin like gonadal failure

hyper hypogonad

Boys: Klinefelter (XXY)


Girls: Turner


Autoimmune

how to make male INTERNAL sex structures

1. Leydig=> wolffian ducts (epididymitis, vas def, sem vesic)


2. Sertoli=>anti-mullerian hormone (inhibits upper vagina)

what makes testes

SRY makes testes, testes make Leydig and Sertoli

how to make male external sex structures

1. 5alpha reductase turns TEST-->DHT=>penile enlargement, scortal fusion, masculinizatino of external genitalia

no SRY

default: female gonads

female INTERNAL ducts

no AMH, so wolffian ducts regress and mullerian structures are made

female external genitalia

no DHT or TEST so no virilization

boy with ambiguous genitalia, 46XY, at least one palpable testes

1. inborn error of testosterone synthesis d/t enzyme def.


2. mixed gonadal dysgenisis/true hermaphroditism


3. partial androgen insesitivity

enzyme deficiency that lead to LOW TEST==>undervirilized male

p. 158

internal structures are mix of male and female

-mixed gonadal dysgenesis (45XO/46XY mosaicism, often have a "streak gonad" on one side)


-true hermophrodite (both ovary and testes both sides 46XX or 46XY)

COMPLETE androgen insensitivity leads to: testicular feminization syndrome

-look female outside, but 46XY

girl who is XX with ambious genitalia and no palpable gonads

1. CAH d/t 21hydroxylase deficiency (most common**)


2. virilizing drug used by mom while prego


3. virilizing tumor in mom while prego

ambious genitalia and HYPOTENSION

adrenal insufficiency

ambiguous genitalia and HTN

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with 11B-OH deficiency

adrenal cortex makes:

steroids

adrenal medulla makes:

catecholamines

what 3 things does adrenal CORTEX make?

1. mineralcorticoids (aldo)


2. glucocorticoids (cortisol)


3. androgens (DHEA)

how is mineralcorticoid (aldo) synthesis controlled

via RAAS (NOT* with ACTH or pituitary, doesn't matter!)

how is glucocorticoid and andreogen synthesis controlled?

ACTH via hypothalamus-pituitary axis

Primary adrenal insufficiency

-enzyme deficiency destroys adrenal CORTEX==>Hypotension, HypoNat, more pigment (no cortisol) & hyperK, hypoNat (no aldo)


Ex: Addison's Dz, CAH, adrenoleukodystrophy

Secondary adrenal insufficiency

-something interferes with RELEASE of CRH from hypothalamus or ACTH from pituitary



Ex: pituitary tumor, Langerhans cell hystiocytosis, STEROID use suppresses HPA

normal K

secondary adrenal insufficiency (because ALDO isn't affected because it responds to RAAS*)

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

-aut. recessive


-primary adrenal insufficiency in childhood


-#1 cause ambiguous genitalia when no gonads palpable*


-basically leads to INCREASED androgen production

most common enzyme deficiency leading to CAH

21-hydroxylase deficiency


3 types of 21-hydroxylase deficiency

1. Classic salt-wasting (low CORTISOL, low ALDO)


2. Simple virilizing (low CORTISOL)


3. Nonclassic (mild low CORTISOL)

1-2week old boy/girl presents with FTT, vomiting, electroyte disturbance

classic salt-wasting CAH

no electrolyte abnormalities and ambiguous genitalia

simple virilizing CAH

1-4yo boy is tall, precocious puberty

simple virilizng CAh

HTN and hypOK with ambig genit

11b hyroxylase def

high 17-OHP levels

21 hydroxy def.

high 11-deoxycortisol (specific compound S*)

-11b hydroxylase df

Tx of CAH

-cortisone to suppress ACTH (lower androgen production but not so much that can't even grow)


-fluorocortisol to normalize renin (if aldo missing as well)


-frequent f/u

Acquired Adrenal Insufficiency

1. Steroids


2. Addisons (autoimmune destruction of cortex by lymphocytes)


3. Waterhouse-Friderichson

Addisons

can detect antibodies to adrenal cortex & also have Hashimotos and DM1 or HypoPTH and candidiasis

Waterhouse-Frid

acute adrenal hemorhage in baby with septicemia (usually d/t meningococcemia)

cortisol level shoudl DOUBLE when you give ACTH in normal person

if not, suspect primary adrenal insufficiency

acute Tx of adrenal crisis (E!!!)

-IVG


-STEROIDS

Excess glucocorticoid (cortisol)

-moon facies, slow bone growth, easy bruising, HTN, etc


1. Cushing Syndrome (d/t adrenal tumors)


2. Cushing disease (too much ACTH by pituitary tumor)

Dx of hypercortisolism

-elevated free cortisol in urine


-no cortisol suppression overnight with Dexamthesone


cortisol excess or just obese?

if obese then would grow fast too and have fast bone growth

95% of patients with DM1 have what haplotype?

HLA DR3 or DR4

findings in DM1

-antibodies to islet cells

Dx DM1

random gluc >200 with polyuria and polydipsi, weightloss, nocturia

what happens if EVENING dose of insulin is too high?

morning Hypoglycemia-->EP & Glucagon release to balance-->high Gluc & ketones in A.M.-->Tx; LOWER*** bedtime insulin dose (you'd think youd raise it though cause high Gluc, wrong)

definition of DKA

gluc >300, ketonuria, bicarb<15 or pH<7.3

HYPERK in DKA

K moves out of cells so H can go inside to correct for the acidosis

Causes of congenital HyPOthyroidism

-thyroid dysgenesis #1 cause (hypoplasia or aplasia or ectopic somewhere else)


-thyroid dyshormonogenesis (inborn errors of thyroid hormone* synthesis, goiter, hearing loss)


-PTU during prego for Grave's Dz


-maternal autoimmune thyroid dz

Tx for congenital hypothyroidism

L-thyroxine right away (even before sx) cause otherwise wil have bad neuro stuff

lymphocytes invade thyroid gland==>follicular fibrosis, atrophy, hyperplasia

Hashimotos: #1 cause of ACQUIRED hypothyroidism

marker for autoimmune thryoid dz

antiperoxidase antibodies!!!

Hyperthyroidism

Graves dz (diffuse toxic goiter!!!*)

TSH-look alike antibody overstimulates thyroid to make T4

Graves (autoimmune)

thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin

Graves

Tx hyperthyroidism

PTU(also inhibits peripheral T3,4), methimazole

vitamin D and PTH

release Ca & Phos from bone

PTH

Ca: release from bone and reabsorption from kidney


Phos: rlease form bone and excretes from kidneys

how does PTH act to increase Ca reabsorp in kidney?

stimulates 1,25

all low calcium levels should have IONIZED Ca level measured to make sure it's true

otherwise could be d/t low albumin (like in nephrotic syndrome)

-Tetany (laryngospasm, painful spasm of wrists etc)


-paresthesias


-seizures

low Calcium!

Hypomag can lead to

HypoCa

hypoCa in baby older than 4days

-HypoPTH


-DiGeorge


-HyperPhos


if mom has high serum calcium, can cross placenta and suppress fetal PTH

transient hypocal hypoPTH in newborn

how does hyperPhos lead to hypoCa

binds it

what study to get with hypoCa?

EKG to check for long QT

hypoCa Tx

-usually oral, IV calcium gluconate if more sx


-give 1,25 (calcitriol) if chronic hypoPTH

Rickets

low vD causes deminiralization of bone with NORMAL BONE MATRIX*

kid has normal Ca, low Phos (leaking out from renal tubules), bow legs, NO tetany

vitamin D resistance==> rickets (familial hypophosphatemia, X linked dominant)

Diabetes Insipidus

can't concentrate* urine d/t LOW ADH* or Kidney NOT RESPONDING* to ADH
