The signs and symptoms of adrenocortical hormone excess may occur from either a primary or secondary disorder. A symptom associated with primary Cushing syndrome is a.hyperkalemia. b.hyperglycemia. c.hyperpigmentation. d.hypotension.

b. hyperglycemia

Explanation:

The causes of hypergycema includes too little insulin, missed dose, unregulated or extra meals, stress, increase in alcohol (converts into sugar), N&V, diarrhea, infection, not enough exercise

The signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia are,

N&V, abdominal pain, distention, anorexia, dry mouth, irritability, hot flushed skin, fruity odor to breath, kussmauls respirations, increased urinary output.

The treatment of hypergycema is regular insulin.

The other side effects of hyperglycemia are,

lipodystrophy, allergic reaction (risk greater with animal insulin and cold insulin), cold insulin increases risk of lipodystrophy, insulin resistance (rare)- requires large amounts of insulin a day. these patients would receive u500

b. Hyperglycemia.

Explanation:

Cushing’s syndrome is a condition that may occur if there is high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, in the blood. Cortisol increases blood pressure and blood glucose levels and diabetes is one complication which can result from untreated Cushing’s syndrome.

Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, occurs when there is too much sugar in the blood.

Hyperglycemia causes symptoms that a person will either detect during self-monitoring or notice in other ways, including:

1) blood glucose levels higher than 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) before eating a meal or above 180 mg/dl 2 hours after the start of a meal

2) frequently needing to pass urine

3) feeling thirsty more often

4) a higher than average volume of glucose in the urine
