VARIOUS HORMONAL DISORDERS:

NAME OF THE DISORDER/CAUSE SYMTOMS


GLAND
PITUITARY Pituitary Dwarfism-  Small but well-proportioned body
hypo secretion of GH  Sexual immaturity
Pituitary Gigantism  Large and well proportionate body
Hyper secretion of GH  Enlarge pituitary gland may suppress optic
chiasma and affect vision
Acromegaly –  Disproportionate increase in size of bones of
Excess secretion of growth hormone in face,hand and feet.
adults especially in middle age
Diabetes insipidus-  Excess dilute urine
Deficiency of ADH
Simmond’s disease-  Skin of the face become dry and wrinkled
Atrophy or degeneration of anterior  Premature ageing
pituitary
THYROID Hyperthyroidism-  Protrusion of eyeballs
GLAND hyper secretion of thyroid hormone  Loss of weight
Graves’ disease/Exophthalmic  Slightly rise in body temperature
goiter/Parry’s disease/Basedow’s  Excitability
disease  Rapid heart rate
 Nervousness and restlessness
Hypothyroidism –  Cretinism –in infants
hypo secretion of thyroid hormone  Slow body growth and mental development
 Cretinism  Slow heart beat
 Myxedema / Gull’s disease  Low BP
 Simple goitre  Stunted growth
 Hashimoto’s disease  Pot belly and pigeon chest
 Protruding tongue
 Myxedema / Gull’s disease-in adults
 Puffy appearance
 Lacks alertness, intelligence and initiatives
 Slow heart beat
 Low BP
 Stunted growth
 Simple goiter-deficiency of iodine in diet
 Enlargement of thyroid gland
 It leads to cretinism of myxedema
 Hashimoto’s disease-
destruction of thyroid gland
 All the aspects of thyroid function is
impaired

PANCREAS Diabetes mellitus-  Elevation of blood glucose concentration


Hyperglycemia  Glucose excreted in urine
 Insulin dependent DM-failure of  Excessive urination and dehydration of tissues
beta cells to produce insulin  Excessive thirst-polydipsia
adequately  Excess use of proteins of the body to produce
 Non insulin dependent DM-failure energy as glucose and other carbohydrates are
of insulin to facilitate the not utilized
movement of glucose into cells  Degradation of fats leads to ketosis(production
of ketone bodies)
 Increase in blood cholesterol

Hypoglycemia-  Weakness
falling of glucose level  Profuse sweating
 Irritability
 Unconsciousness
ADRENAL ADRENAL CORTEX:  Low blood sugar
GLAND Addison’s disease-  Low blood plasma Na+ and K+
deficiency of glucocorticoid and  Increased urinary Na+
mineralo corticoid/destruction of  Weakness and fatigue
adrenal cortex
Cushing’s syndrome-  High blood pressure
excess of cortisol  Appearance of sugar in urine
 Rise in plasma Na+
 Fall in plasma K+
 High BP
 Rise in blood volume
Aldosteronism/Conn’s disease-  Rise in plasma Na+
excess production of aldosterone  Fall in plasma K+
 High BP
 Rise in blood volume
 polyurea
Gynaecomastia-  enlarged mammary gland
excess secretion of sex corticoid in
male/decrease testosterone
GONADS Hypogonadism-  Lack of development of secondary sexual
in male and female-inadequate gonadal characters
function  Improper development of primary sex organs
Precocious Puberty-  Enlargement of penis, masculinization in boys
in boys and girls- Excess male/female  Breast formation and early pubic hairs in girls
hormones secretion due to tumor in  Faster body growth in both
gonad or adrenal glands
Eunuchoidism-  Undeveloped and nonfunctional secondary sex
failure of testosterone secretion organs
 Lack of external sexual characters
 No sperm production
Gynaecomastia –  Development of male mammary gland
secretion of estrogen is more than
androgen/deficiency of testosterone
