Diabetes mellitus Type 1, IDDM, juvenile DM
2 types • 1. Insulin dependent (autoimmune mediated) • 2. Non- Insulin dependent (non-autoimmune mediated)
Endocrine Pancreas • Produce and secretes: • 1. Insulin • 2. Glucagon • Important in glucose homeostasis
Insulin dependent (autoimmune mediated) • Results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas The subsequent lack of insulin leads to increased blood and urine glucose. • Eventually, type 1 diabetes is fatal unless treated with insulin.
Cause • Diabetes type I is induced by a combination of genetic susceptibility, a diabetogenic trigger and exposure to a driving antigen. • MHC : DRB1 0401, DRB1 0402, DRB1 0405, DQA 0301, DQB1 0302 and DQB1 0201
Environmental 2. Viruses: (Coxsackie virus & Rubella virus) 3. Diet: (through influencing gut flora, intestinal permeability, and immune function in the gut) 4. Chemicals and drugs:(Pyrinuron, a rodenticide streptozotocin, an antibiotic and antineoplastic agent used in chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer)
Diagnosis • 1. Clinical • 2. Biochemical (high blood sugar, H 1 C) • 3. Auto-Abs against pancreatic islet
Treatment -Replacement with insulin. -Islet graft ?
Adrenal glands Suprarenal Glands
The cortices produce: • Cortisol • Aldosterone. Addison’s disease occurs when adrenal glands do not produce enough Cortisol and sometimes Aldosterone. Production of Cortisol is regulated by the pituitary gland's secretion of ACTH
Autoimmune Addison’s disease • It is an autoimmune inflammation of adrenal glands, resulting in their gradual destruction and inability to make sufficient amounts of adrenal hormones.
Addison’s disease occurs when more then 90% of adrenal gland tissue is destroyed.
Presence of Addison’s disease or other autoimmune diseases in families. • Commonly associated with polyglandular syndromes • Presence of autoantibodies
Clinicals • Manifested as: • Hypotension • Fatigue • Poor appetites, • Nausea • Dizziness • Weight loss
Diagnosis • Clinical • Cortisol levels in blood. • ACTH Stimulation Test • Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia Test • CT scan of abdomen • NMRI (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging)
Treatment • Hormonal replacement
