About endocrine system and disorders notes
GoConqr OriginalEndocrine system and disorders notes
These notes cover diabetes, hyperglycaemia, thyroid conditions and adrenal disorders. They also include material on the pituitary and parathyroid. Some notes were created from mind maps, while others set out information under topic headings.
Where to begin
Start with Diabetes Mellitus if you want to review classification and glucose testing. For a more focused topic, the note on diabetic ketoacidosis covers assessment, diagnosis, treatment and complications. The note on incidental adrenal tumours considers whether a lesion is functional and whether it is benign or malignant.
Revise with notes
Read a section, close the note and recall its main points before checking them. Compare related notes when you want a different treatment of the same topic. If you want a visual overview or a knowledge check afterwards, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Choose a topic and open a note to begin.
Frequently asked questions
Which note should I start with for diabetes?
Start with “Diabetes Mellitus” for material on classification and glucose testing. Then look at the note on diabetic ketoacidosis for a more focused review of assessment, diagnosis, treatment and complications. The shorter “Diabetes” note also covers hyperglycaemia and investigations, offering another way to revisit the topic.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users, rather than by GoConqr. If you choose to create a free account, you can make your own notes, quizzes, mind maps and flashcards and save your quiz scores.
What do the notes cover on thyroid and adrenal conditions?
“Endocrinology” includes material on thyroid cancer types, while another note covers special situations in hyperthyroidism. For adrenal topics, you can find notes on secondary aldosteronism, incidental adrenal tumours and adrenal insufficiency. Choose the note that matches the condition you want to review.
