THYROID DISORDER Flashcards
thyroid antibody involved in tissue destruction process
thyroperoxidase autoantibody
thyroid antibody involved in hashimoto’s disease
thyroperoxidase autoantibody
thyroid antibody involved in grave’s disease
TSH receptor autoantibody
thyroid antibody classifies as stimulating or blocking antibody
TSH receptor autoantibody
it refers to an excess of circulating thyroid hormone
hyperthyroidism
primary hyperthyroidism lab result
T3 and T4 is increased
TSH is decreased
secondary hyperthyroidism lab result
FT4 and TSH is increased
is applied to a group of syndromes caused by high levels of free thyroid hormones in the circulation
thyrotoxicosis
T3 thyrotoxicosis is also known as
plummer’s disease
T3 thyrotoxicosis or plummer’s disease lab result
FT3 is increased
FT4 is normal
TSH is low
T4 thyrotoxicosis lab result
T3 is normal or low
T4 is increased
TSH low
it is the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis
grave’s disease
grave’s disease is also known as
diffuse toxic goiter
it is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies that activates the TSH receptor
grave’s disease
how many times grave’s disease occurence on women than men
6x
features of hyperthyroidism
exophthalmos (bulging eyes)
pritibial myxedema
diagnostic test for grave’s disease
TSH receptor antibody test
a disorder where the thyroid turns into a woody or stony-hard mass
riedel’s thyroiditis
in riedel’s thyroiditis the thyroid turns into
woody or stony-hard mass
a disorder where there is no clinical symptoms but TSH is low, and FT3 and FT4 is normal
subclinical hyperthyroidism
it is associated with neck pain, TPO negative, and ESR and thyroglobulin is elevated
subacute granulomatous (painful thyroiditis)
subclinical hyperthyroidism lab result
TSH is low
FT3 and FT4 is normal
subacute granulomatous (painful thyroiditis) lab result
TPO negative
ESR and thyroglobulin is elevatedq
it develops whenever there is insufficient amounts of thyroid hormone are available to tissues
hypothyroidism
hypothyroidism treatment is
levothyroxine
hyperthyroidism signs and symptoms
tachycardia
weight loss
heat intolerance
menstrual changes
hypothyroidism signs and symptoms
bradycardia
weight gain
cold intolerance
mental dullness
it is primary due to deficiency of elemental iodine
primary hypothyroidism
primary hypothyroidism lab result
T3, T4, and TSH is low
primary hypothyroidism may be caused by drugs like
lithium
it is the common cause of primary hypothyroidism
hashimoto’s disease
it is characterized by sensitized T-cell autoantibody binds to the cell membrane causing cell lysis and inflammatory reaction
hashimoto’s disease
in primary hypothyroidism the thyroid gland is
enlarged
primary hypothyroidism lab result
T3 and T4 is decreased
describes as the peculiar nonpitting swelling of the skin
myxedema
severe form of primary hypothyroidism
myxedema coma
it is due to pituitary destruction of pituitary adenoma
secondary hypothyroidism
secondary hypothyroidism lab result
T3, T4, and TSH is decreased
tertiary hypothyroidism lab result
T3, T4, and TSH is decreased
it is a defect in the development or function of the gland
congenital hypothyroidism/cretinism
congenital hypothyroidism/cretinism symptoms
physically and mentally retarded
congenital hypothyroidism/cretinism screening test
T4 (decreased)
congenital hypothyroidism/cretinism confirmatory test
TSH (increased)
TSH value interpretation
TSH;
<10 mIU/L (no further test)
10-20 mIU/L (repeat test in 2-6 weeks)
>20mIU/L (for endocrinologic evaluation to diagnose hypothyroidism)
subclinical hypothyroidism lab result
T3 and t4 is normal
TSH is slightly increased
