  2. Acute infectious thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_infectious_thyroiditis

    Occurrences of AIT are most common in patients with prior thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or thyroid cancer. The most common cause of infection in children is a congenital abnormality such as pyriform sinus fistula. [5] In most cases, the infection originates in the piriform sinus and spreads to the thyroid via the fistula. [7]

    If infectious thyroiditis is suspected a neck ultrasound can be utilized to check for an abscess. Color flow doppler is expected to show reduced blood flow in thyroiditis vs. hyperthyroidism. [5] Blood tests will usually include thyroid function tests as well levels of specific thyroid antibodies and thyroglobulin.

  4. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

    Certain medications can have the unintended side effect of affecting thyroid function. While some medications can lead to significant hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism and those at risk will need to be carefully monitored, some medications may affect thyroid hormone lab tests without causing any symptoms or clinical changes, and may not require treatment.

  5. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotoxic_periodic_paralysis

    The abnormality in the channel is thought to lead to shifts of potassium into cells, under conditions of high thyroxine (thyroid hormone) levels, usually with an additional precipitant. Treatment of the low levels of potassium in the blood, followed by correction of the hyperthyroidism, leads to complete resolution of the attacks.

  6. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

    This can be due to a number of factors including acute attacks of destructive thyrotoxicosis (autoimmune attacks on the thyroid resulting in rises in thyroid hormone levels as thyroid hormones leak out of the damaged tissues). [20] [5] This is usually followed by hypothyroidism. [5]

  7. Antithyroid agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithyroid_agent

    A randomized control trial testing single dose treatment for Graves' found methimazole achieved euthyroidism (normal thyroid function that occurs within normal serum levels of TSH and T4 [23]) more effectively after 12 weeks than did propylthiouracil (77.1% on methimazole 15 mg vs 19.4% in the propylthiouracil 150 mg groups). [24]

  8. Thyrotroph Thyroid Hormone Sensitivity Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotroph_Thyroid_Hormone...

    Conversely, an elevated set point of thyroid homeostasis, as quantified by the TT4RI, is associated to higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome [3] and several harmonized criteria by the International Diabetes Federation, including triglyceride and HDL concentration and blood pressure. [12] [13]

  9. Hyperthyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthyroidism

    The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is confirmed by blood tests that show a decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level and elevated T 4 and T 3 levels. TSH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland in the brain that tells the thyroid gland how much hormone to make. When there is too much thyroid hormone, the TSH will be low.
