Systemic hypometabolism

Introduction

Introduction The main manifestation is that the systemic metabolic rate slows down. It is a systemic manifestation of endocrine and metabolic diseases. Lack of tissue specificity and organ specificity in endocrine and metabolic diseases. The hormone secreted by the endocrine glands enters the blood circulation and exerts its physiological effects as it reaches the various organs and tissues of the body. A hormone can act on multiple sites, and multiple hormones can also act on the same organ tissue. Therefore, the clinical manifestations of a certain endocrine gland dysfunction will involve multiple systems and organs throughout the body, unlike other systems with more common symptoms associated with this system.

Cause

Cause

Most of the diseases leading to low endocrine function are due to autoantibodies, inflammation, non-functional tumors, etc., which cause the destruction of endocrine gland structure and function. When the secreted hormone cannot maintain the normal physiological function of the body, it shows symptoms of low endocrine function.

The main manifestation is that the systemic metabolic rate slows down. Low basal metabolic rate: fatigue, slow feeling, slow movement, mental retardation, severe memory loss, lethargy, inattention, cold, cold, dry hair, slow growth of male beard, no sweat and lower body temperature normal.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Hypothyroidism is mainly caused by a variety of causes of thyroid hormone synthesis and insufficient secretion, clinically characterized by low metabolism of systemic organs and organs.

Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency, due to low levels of adrenal cortical hormone, may have gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite; circulatory symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension; apathy, fatigue, lethargy, etc. Neuropsychiatric symptoms; sexual dysfunction, female pubic hair loss, menstrual disorders and other reproductive system symptoms; and skin pigmentation.
