19
Q

apathetic hyperthyroidism

A

apathy, weigh loss, angina, AF, CHF
NOT automimmune
somatic mutationi n TSH R G alpha protein
amiodarone can set off
can be due to toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter

20
Q

type I amiodarone

A

thyrotoxicosis

can be graves or non-autoimmune (TMNG)

21
Q

type II amiodarone

A

thyroiditis

22
Q

causes of increases RAIU

A

graves
adenoma
inappropriate secretion of TSH (pit adenoma, rare)
TMNG
trophoblastic- secretes hCG which binds TSHR

23
Q

risks of subclinical hyperthyroidism

A

AF and diastolic dynsfunction
osteoporosis
dementia
Tx with RAI r small dose antithyroid drug or beta blockers

24
Q

thyroid storms

A
fever >102
tachy
tachypnea
hypotensive
very sick
25
Q

Tx of thyroid storm

A
methamizole or PTU
iodides
metopropolol
hydrocortisone
plasmaphoresis
26
Q

neurological malignant syndrome

A

rare, but potentially life threatening rxn to antipsychotics or tranquilizers
high fever, stiffness of mm, altered mental status, autonomic dysfunction

27
Q

thyrotoxic periodic paralysis

A

channelopathy with mm weakness
increased N/K ATPase activity (driven by thyroxine) -> hyperpolarization and hypokalemia
occurs with heavy meal or exercise in asian men

28
Q

what causes decreased RAIU

A
DIET
Drugs- THYROXINE
Iodine- jod-bassedow, amiodarone type I
ectopic
thyroiditis- painful (dequervains disease), painless- postpartum, lymphocytic
