Cancer: CAUTION signs

Starve a gastric ulcer, Feed a duo ulcer

Addison's (ad-aldosteron deficiency to remember) disease- ↓na and ↑ k,
hypoglycemia.

remember – if there is low/absent na+ in the body, than nothing holds h2o in.
thus, ↑urine output, hypotension +, hypovolumia, dehydration and ↓ co.
major function of aldosteron – is to keep na+ in & k+ out of the body .

Cushing’s (too much glucocorticoids) syndrome is opposite to addison’s.
adrenal hypersecretion of glucocorticoids. ↑ na ↓k and ca, hyperglycemia.
When assessing think of the cushion (moon face, buffalo hump, truncal obesity).
