Q

Amiodarone effects on thyroid hormone (labs) and management (4)

A

1) Decreased conversion T4-T3
Normal/High TSH / Elevated T4 / Low T3
No treatment needed

2) Inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesis
High TSH / Low T4
Treat with Levothyroxine

3) Amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis Type 1 (iodine-induced increased in levothyroxine)
Low TSH / High T4/T3 / Decreased iodine uptake / Increased vascularity on ultrasound
Treat with antithyroid medication

4) Amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis Type 2 (Destructive thyroiditis)
Low TSH / High T3/T4 / Undetected iodine uptake Decreased vascularity on ultrasound
Treat with glucocorticoids
