Q

Primary hyperthyroidism Graves’ disease

A

Overproduction of thyroid autoantibodies
TSI mimics effects of TSH
Elevated levels of TSI stimulates excess T3/T4 secretion
Elevated plasma levels of T3/T4 cause TSH decrease

16
Q

Primary Hypothyroidism patho

A

An increase in TSH and TRH leads to a decrease in T3/T4

17
Q

Secondary hypothyroidism causes

A

Stroke to hypothalamus or pituitary
Pituitary tumor
Post partum pituitary necrosis

18
Q

Secondary hypothyroidism patho

A

Decrease in TSH leads to decreased T3/T4 production

19
Q

What is myxedema and what does it contribute to?

A

Collagen in connective tissues is replaced by other proteins and mucopolysaccarhides creating a complex that binds to water. It contributes to heart failure

20
Q

Hypothyroidism clinical consequences due to decreased T3/T4

A

Decreased metabolic rate
Decreased neuromuscular activity
Decreased SNS activity

21
Q

Hypothyroidism clinical consequences due to increased TSH

A

Goiter

Decreased iodine —> decreased T3/T4 —> increased TSH —> follicle growth and accumulation of thyroglobulin
