You instruct this patient to go home and return the next morning for a blood chemistry CBC, and urinalysis laboratory study. You further instruct the patient not to eat or drink anything but water after 8pm or befre her blood can be drawn. If your preliminary diagnosis is correct, you would predict:
a. A 50% increase in the eosinophil count
b. An excess of serum calcium
c. Ostetitis fibrosa cyst
d. An elevation in glucocorticoids
e. An elevation in serum glucose
You would also predict the urinalysis to reveal:
a. An increase in casts
b. An increase in blood
c. Glucosuria
d. excessively dilute urine
e. glucose absence
Your dx is relatively sure at this point, however if any doubt remains you could perform:
a. a pendulous abdomen with striae test
b. An MRI
c. An evaluation of potassium levels
d. Biopsy of the pituitary gland
e. Glucose Tolerance Test
If this young woman's problem is IDDM, what does this suggest?
a. Probable autoimmune disorder
b. Ansence of insulin poduction
c. Ketoacidosis is likely.
d. A lowering of the blood pH followed by eath is likely (if untreated)
e. All of the above.
