Ca+, PO4-, Mg+
Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium

Teach your patient :
- It can cause diarrhea
- DO NOT take w/in 48 hrs of a CT that requires iodine due to counteraction causing kidney damage
Metformin

Hashimoto's
If Goiter is large then...
lack of iodine in diet
When calcium gets low this is released
PTH
(Parathyroid Hormone)
Cortisol

Bulging eyes, summer symptoms, may need radioactive iodine
Treatment: Tapazole (Methamizole)

Released by the thyroid, causes calcium in bones, allows renal excretion to decrease calcium levels in blood
Calcitonin
Bone triggers parathyroid to release Ca+ by stimulating this
--------------------------------------------------
PTH triggers bones to restore Calcium and tells the kidneys to do this to calcium
PTH
--------------------------------------------------
Reabsorb
This organ releases Cortisol
Kidneys
Endocrine:
Exocrine:
with these 2 types....

Too much ADH, body retains water, sodium = low, hyponatremia
Too low ADH, too much urine excreted, sodium= high, hypernatremia
