Hyperthyroidism - Darrow Flashcards
hyperreflexia
hyperthyroid
heat intolerance, palpitations, tachy, irritable, loose stool, tremor, warm skin, hyperreflexia
hypermetabolic state
- anxiety
- pheochromocytoma
- hyperthyroid
goiter, exopthalmos, pretibial myxedema
graves disease
type of hypersensitivity in graves?
type 2
- Ab dependent cytoxicity
- Abs to cell surface receptors
HLA type in graves?
HLA-DRB1
HLA DR8
HLA DR
MHC Class II cell surface repceotor
-in graves disease
T cell in pretibial myxedema and graves orbitopathy?
CD4 Th1 cells
fibrosis and infiltration
macrophages, cytotoxic T cells, NK cells
-produce GAGs
T cell in graves disease on thyroid?
CD4 Th2 cells
-anti-TSH receptor Abs
TSI
TSH receptor Abs
-in graves
CD4 Th2 cells**
type II hypersensitivity
Abs that attach to cell surface components
in autoimmune hemolytic anemia or blood transfusion rxn
also in graves and myasthenia gravis - abnormal physiologic response
strabismus
misaligned eyes
-seen in graves
fibroblast proliferation, GAG deposits, lymphocyte infiltration in muscles around eye
clubbing of fingers
hyperthyroid
hypertrophic osteoarthopathy
thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy
tachycardia
atrial fib
high output failure
pulmonary HTN
calcium elevation with hyperthyroid?
T3 increases bone turnover
factitial thyrotoxicosis
would see NO thyroglobulin present
factitial - induced by human action - ie/ patient takes thyroid pills - gets hyperthyroid
TSH receptor pathway
GPCR
Gs - cAMP - PKA transduction
