  1. Assessment and Management of Patients With Endocrine Disorders Prepared by Dr. Iman Abdalla

  2. Out line • Glands of the Endocrine System • Classification and Action of Hormones • The Thyroid Gland • Regulation of Thyroid Hormone • Function of Thyroid Hormone • Assessment and Diagnostic Findings • Hypothyroidism • Hyperthyroidism • Thyroid Storm (Thyrotoxic Crisis) • Thyroiditis • Thyroid Tumors

  3. Out line • Endemic (Iodine-Deficient) Goiter • Management • prevention • Nodular Goiter • Thyroid Cancer • The Parathyroid Glands • Pathophysiology • Hyperparathyroidism • Hypoparathyroidism

  4. Learning Objectives On completion of this lecture, the student will be able to: • Describe the functions of each of the endocrine glands and their hormones. • Compare hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism: their causes, clinical manifestations, management, and nursing interventions. • Develop a plan of nursing care for the patient undergoing thyroidectomy. • compare hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism: their causes, clinical manifestations, management, and nursing interventions.

  5. Glands of the Endocrine System

  6. Classification and Action of Hormones • Hormones are classified as: • Steroid hormones ( hydrocortisone ) • Peptide or protein hormones ( insulin ) • Amine hormones ( epinephrine ) • Fatty acids derivatives ( retinoids )

  7. The Thyroid Gland • The thyroid gland produces three hormones: 1- Thyroxin (T4), 2- Calcitonine. 3- Triiodthyronine(T3),

  8. Regulation of Thyroid Hormone

  9. Function of Thyroid Hormone • Calcitonin • Assessment and Diagnostic Findings

  10. Specific Disorders of the Thyroid Gland • Causes of Hypothyroidism • Clinical Manifestation • Medical Management • Medication Interaction • Nursing Management

  11. Hyperthyroidism

  12. Hyperthyroidism • Clinical Manifestation • Medical Management • Pharmacotherapy • Surgical Management • Nursing Process The Patient With Hyperthyroidism

  13. Thyroid Storm (Thyrotoxic Crisis) • Causes :It is precipitated by stress, injury, infection, thyroidectomy, tooth extraction, insulin reaction, diabetic ketoacidosis, pregnancy, abrupt withdrawal of antithyroid medications • Clinical manifestations • Management

  14. Thyroiditis • Thyroiditis, inflammation of the thyroid gland, can be: • acute, • subacute, • or chronic.

  15. Thyroid Tumors • Tumors of the thyroid gland are classified on the basis of being benign or malignant. • If the enlargement is sufficient to cause a visible swelling in the neck, the tumor is referred to as goiter. • All grades of goiter are encountered, from those, that are barely visible to those producing disfigurement. • Goiter either symmetrical and diffuse or nodular. • It might accompanied by hyperthyroidism (toxin); others are non toxic goiters

  16. Endemic (Iodine-Deficient) Goiter

  17. Management • Many goiters of this type decreased after correction of iodine insufficiency. • When surgery is recommended, post operative complications can be minimized by pre operative iodide administration to reduce the size & vascularity of goiter. Prevention • Providing children in iodine-poor region with iodine compounds. • Use of iodized salt.

  18. Nodular Goiter

  19. Thyroid Cancer • Causes • Types • Assessment and Diagnostic Findings • Medical Management • Nursing Management

  20. The Parathyroid Glands

  21. Pathophysiology • Excess parathormone can result in markedly increased levels of serum calcium, a potentially life- threatening situation. • When the product of serum calcium and serum phosphorus (calciumxphosphorus) rises, calcium phosphorus may precipitate in various organs of the body (kidneys) and cause tissue calcification.

  22. Hyperparathyroidism • Primary Hyperparathyroidism. • Secondary Hyperparathyroidism. • Clinical Manifestation • Assessment and Diagnostic Findings • Medical Management • Nursing Management • Complications • Hypercalcemic Crisis

  23. Hypoparathyroidism • Pathophysiology • Clinical Manifestation • Assessment and Diagnostic Findings • Medical Management • Nursing Management
