Wait, but did anyone mention that females can get sertoli-leydig cell tumors, which are notorious for producing lots of androgen???

But seriously though, pathology outlines says sertoli-leydig tumor "may be suspected clinically in a young patient presenting with a combination of virilization, elevated testosterone levels and ovarian / pelvic mass on imaging studies." As for follicle cell tumors, granulosa cell tumors usually occur in adults and would cause elevated levels of estrogens. Theca cell tumor would also primarily produce estrogens.
Putting the links at the end since idk if they're gonna turn out right lol

Hello, i just want to add that Females can get sertoli-leydig cell tumors, which are notorious for producing lots of androgen

Hold up, so I'm confused - I read all the posts above but I still am unsure - are sertoli-leydig cells notorious for producing androgen?

Hold the phone.....Females can get sertoli leydig cell tumors which are notorious for producing androgen? TIL
TL;DR - Females can get sertoli leydig cell tumors = high androgens

@medstruggle look up placental aromatase deficiency (p. 625 FA 2019), it would have a different presentation

The question would be too fair if it just said PSGN. Instead we need to smell our own farts first.

who said they were limited to FA?
+1 2019-07-29T17:11:10Z
nbmehelp
FA uses the common nomenclature and the fact most of our other resources use the same nomenclature for this, I think we can agree that is is the accepted terms. If they're gonna decide not to use the nomenclature that most medical students are taught then they should provide their own study materials at that point for us to use. The test shouldn't be this convoluted for no reason.

Catecholamines activate the Na/K pump, which will drive K inside.

Read online that catachelamines are released following tonic clonic seizures. Besides that, BP of 180/100 could indicate that catecholamines are circulating.

Why does this guy have increased catecholamines tho

His SNS activity is seriously increased --> increased catecholamines.

Why is his SNS activity increased? Is the BP literally the only hint?

Alcohol withdrawal creates a hyper- catecholaminergic state + Seizures do that as well.
+1 2019-07-25T07:40:44Z
water
My best guess is that withdrawal puts the body in a state of stress (same for seizures) and with stress you have release of catecholamine which we'll see in the BP and the hypokalemia.

surprisingly, I actually learned this from the Magic School Bus when I was a kid. That's the only reason I got this right. Thanks Ms. Frizzle! :D
