Q

side effects of antithyroid drugs

A

agranulocytosis, hepattis, SLE

25
Q

What do you give after starting thiourea drugs in graves

A

iodine to block T4 to T3

wolff chaikoff effect because blocks synthesis and release

26
Q

besdies antithyroid drugs and iodine what other medicaiton is used in graves

A

lithium, K perchlorate

27
Q

What is second line Tx graves

A

radioactive iodine

28
Q

what is the final Tx for graves

A

surgery

29
Q

what can stimulate primary hyperthyroidism by creating low TSH

A
acute steroid administration
amphetamines
Ca ch blockers
dopamine
NSAIDs
opiates
elderly euthyroid
pregnancy or hCG secretion
severe non-thyroidal illness (IL , TNF)
30
Q

what heart condition can thyrotoxicosis caUSE

A

A FIB

31
Q

Apathetic hyperthyroididsm signs

A

apathy, weight loss, angina, AF, CHF and less adrenergic Sx

32
Q

What cuases apathetic hyperthyroidism

A

somatic mutations of TSH R and G alpha protein leading to cAMP cascade of inositol phosphate pathway

33
Q

what drug can cause an autonomous thyroid nodule to become a toxic multinodular goiter

A

amiodarone excess iodine

34
Q

someone on amiodarone will have what result in an radioactive thyroid scan

A

decreased uptake of iodine from iodine induced TMN goiter

thyroid already saturated of iodine

35
Q

what is Jod basedown phenomenon

A

when patient has ample iodine so induces TMN goiter

36
Q

What are the type I amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis

A
  • jod basedown type with TMNG and no thyroid Ab

- graves type with Ab

37
Q

what is type II amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis

A

thyroiditis

38
Q

what can cause increased uptake on iodine scan

A

graves
adenoma(plummers)
inappropriate secretion TSH (pituitary adenoma)
TMN
Trophoblastic (embryonal carcinoma and hydatiform mole)

39
Q

Tx for an autonomous thyroid nodule

A

RAI or surgery or antithyroid drugs

40
Q

Tx for TMNG

A

RAI or surgery of ATDs

41
Q

what should you do for RAI Tx in someone with low uptake

A

prime with PTU or recombinant TSH

42
Q

patient has normal free T4 and low TSH

A

subclinical hyperthyroidism

43
Q

risks of subclinical hyperthryoidism

A

AF and diastolic dysfunction
osteoporosis
dementia

44
Q

Tx for subclinical hyperthyroidism

A

TAI or small dose of antithyroid drug

45
Q

patient with normal T4 and TSH between 0.1- 0.3 (low)

what would you Tx

A

observation and consider beta blocker

46
Q

what can cause thyrotoxic storm

A

acute illness, thyroid surgery or RAI therapy in inadequately Tx patient

47
Q

signs thyroid storm

A

fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, delerium, coma and death

48
Q

Tx for thyroid storm

A

thiourea with iodides
must start iodides after thiourea
start metoprolol and hydrocortisone as well
