B6-061 Thyroid Disease Flashcards
TSH will be […] in hypothyroidism
increased
**trying to compensate
pretibial nonpitting edema is associated with
longstanding hypothyroidism
hypothyroidism due to pituitary or hypothalamic failure is
secondary
two main types of primary hypothyroidism
-cretinism (peds)
-myxedema (adults)
maternal T3/T4 is necessary for fetal […] development
brain
**damage to fetal brain is most severe when maternal T3/4 is low before fetal thyroid becomes active
most common cause of congenital primary hypothyroidism worldwide
iodine deficiency
most common cause of primary hypothyroidism in US adults
Hashimoto
goiterogens [2]
PTU
iodide
**suppress T3/T4 synthesis
inhibits oxidation of iodide and peripheral deiodination of T4 into T3
PTU
inhibits proteolysis of thyroglobulin
iodide
CD 8 T cell mediated destruction of the thyroid
Hashiomotos
what antibodies are seen in Hashimoto’s?
anti-thyroglobulin
anti-thyroid peroxidase
Hashimotos may initially present with transient […]
hyperthyroidism
Hashimotos increases the risk of [3]
B cell lymphoma
thyroid cancers
other autoimmune disease
Hurthle cells
lymphoid aggregates with germinal centers
Hashimotos
self-limited disease preceded by viral infection
may have transient hyperthyroidism
painless goiter
subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis
painful goiter
transient hyperthyroidism
granulomatous (de Quervain) thyroiditis
jaw pain
very tender thyroid
granulomatous (de Quervain) thyroiditis
granulomatous inflammation on histology
granulomatous (de Quervain) thyroiditis
slowly enlarging
hard, fixed, nontender mass
Riedel thyroiditis
IgG4 related disease
Riedel thyroiditis
**in general, IgG4 is associated with fibrosis
thyroid replaced with fibrous tissue and inflammatory infiltrate on histology
Riedel
staring gaze, eyelid lag, proptosis
long standing hyperthyroidism (Graves)
pituitary tumor secreting TSH is […] hyperthyroidism
secondary
primary hyperthyroidism is caused by
thyrotoxicosis
thyrotoxicosis occurring due to diffuse hyperplasia
Graves
