Endocrine changes during pregnancy:
⬆️Insulin production & response:
• Blood sugar level usually remains normal, or sometimes becomes low.
•Sometimes the insulin response is met with resistance caused predominantly by human placental lactogen.
⬇️Follicular stimulating & luteinising hormones.
⬆️ACTH & melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
⬆️Prolactin.

Clinical Presentation of Hyperlipidemia:
Mostly asymptomatic.
In severe hyperlipidemia may present with:
• Xanthelasma, yellow plaques on eyelid.
• Xanthoma, irregular yellow nodule found on tendons.
• Pancreatitis [hypertriglyceridemia].

Gout: Inflammatory monarticular arthritis, caused by the precipitation of monosodium urate crystal into tissue, usually in and around joints.
Prevalence differs regionally❗️
i.e. rare in African Americans and very common in
Asians.

Arthrocentesis is a definitive diagnosis test for Gout❗️
Gout vs. Psueodogout:
• Hallmark of gout needle-shaped crystals with negative birefringent crystals.
• Pseudogout has rhomboid shaped needles and slightly positive birefringence.

Hyperthyroidism: An increase in the circulating thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) due to an increase in its synthesis with a decrease in TSH levels.
Types:
• Primary, caused by conditions related to the thyroid gland.
• Secondary, caused by extra-thyroidal conditions like pituitary gland.
