complex condition where the pituitary gland doesn't produce sufficient amounts of some or all of its hormones
hypopituitarism
T3, T4, and calcitonin
thyroid gland
condition of excessive PTH production that can cause tumors, hyperplasia, or chronic hypocalcemia
hyperparathyroidism
increased renal water retention caused by excessive ADH levels
syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
group of conditions characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin production, action, or both
diabetes melitus
short stature caused by deficient levels of growth hormone
dwarfism
ADH, oxytocin
posterior pituitary
relatively common, when the thyroid doesn't produce enough TH
hypothyroidism
excessive cortisol levels that result from increased ACTH levels
cushing's syndrome
deficiency of adrenal cortex hormones that can be caused by damage from autoimmune conditions
addison's disease
excessive fluid excretion in the kidneys caused by deficient antidiuretic hormone levels
diabetes insipidus
insulin, somatostatin, ghrelin, glucagon
pancreas
the parathyroid gland doesn't produce enough PTH, resulting in hypocalcemia, and increase in phosphorus levels
hypoparathyroidism
tall stature caused by excessive growth hormone levels prior to puberty
gigantism
cluster of risk factors that occur together, specifically hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, and increased waist circumference
metabolic syndrome
condition where the pituitary gland secretes excessive amounts of one or all of its hormones
hyperpituitarism
epinephrine, norepinephrine
adrenal gland
excessive levels of TH, resulting in a hyper metabolic state
hyperthyroidism
excessive prolactin levels that result in menstrual dysfunction and galactorrhea
hyperprolactinemia
rare tumor of the adrenal medulla that excretes epinephrine and norepinephrine
pheochromocytoma
pH imbalances characterized by increase in ketones in the urine caused by insufficient insulin
diabetic ketoacidosis
GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, prolactin, MSH
anterior pituitary
visible enlargement of the thyroid gland that can affect both the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems
goiter
increased bone size caused by excessive growth hormone levels in adulthood
acromegaly
condition characterized by excessive amounts of glucocorticoids, common cause is iatrogenic
cushing's syndrome
