Thyroid Parathyroid Pituitary Flashcards
Thyroid
Ok
What thyroid hormones do
Increase BMR
Protein catabolism glucose utilization, growth maturation
TSH
Ligand for thyroid receptor, bind active and thyroid hormones elaborated
Colloid
TSH bind receptor on follicle and stimulate all step
- Thyroglobulin synthesized and stored in clobulin
- transport of iodide from circulation to follicular cell increase pulled into follicular cell into colloid and get MIT and DIT then pulled back into cell to become T4 and T3
Released into blood
Primary of secondary hyperthyroidism( more common
Primary
Primary hyperthyroidism
Diffuse hyperplasia 9graves)
Hyperfunctioing multinodular goiter
Hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma (neoplastic
Secondary hyperthyroidism
Pituitary adenoma
How determine if primary of secondary
Check thyroid hormone in conjunction to TSH
Elevated T3 T4 high and low TSH
High secondary
Low primary
Symptoms hyperthyroidism
Cardiac-palpitation/tachycardia heart fluttering fast and high pulse (early and apparent and DIRE)
*cardiac arrest one of most severe complications of it
Perspiration-flushing
Nervous, excitability restlessness(b stimulation)
Exophthalmos-graves
Diarrhea, muscle wasting
Breast enlargement
Thyroid storm
Crisis sudden severe onset of thyrotoxicosis manifestations
Fever, cardiac (tachycardia, CHF), GI (diarrhea and jaundice)
Precipitation history-pregnant.postpartum, hemithyroidectomy, drugs amiodarone)
Hyperthyroid general
Cardiac and GI
What constitutes acute thyroid storm
High fever that remains elevated
Precipitating history -preg and postpartum, hemithyroidectomy, drugs
HISTORY AND FEVER**
Pregnant
Thyroid storm can put you at risk
Hemithyroidectomy
If hyperthyroid and take out a lobe, sometimes the remaining lobe starts hyperfunctioning to thyroid storm level
Amiodarone
Can cause thyroid storm
Treat hyperthyroid
Beta blockers, NSAIDS
High doses of iodine (Wolff chaikoff effect-when give large dose shuts down thyroid hormone), this amide , radioiodine ablation, surgery
Graves
Most common hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism, infiltration ophthalmopathy, pretibial myxedema)
Row of white vacuoles-absorption droplets bubbles around edge. Of follicles and follicles are enlarged
Grave histo
Row of white vacuoles-absorption droplets bubbles around edge. Of follicles and follicles are enlarged
Reabsorption droplet
Duringactive secretory phase, intracytoplasmic droplets appear (representing colloid in endocytosis vesicles generated by pseudopodial extension of cytoplasm at luminal surface )
——grabbing colloid!!! Indicate hyperfunction
Ophthalmopathy
Extraocular muscles extremely thickened
Graves is autoimmune-get lymphocyte infiltratio
Fibroblasts have TSH receptor so when get Thyroid stimulating antibodies get it and get fat and smooth msucle accumulation
Matrix production
Inflammation, smooth msucle, fat, and matrix get mass behind eyes
Pretibial myxedema
Hard ANS scaly rash anterior lower extremities
Matrix production probably
Need all three for graves
No
How test for graves
Original pathogenesis
Primary hyperthyroidism elevated thyroid hormones and elevated tsh and test for thyroid stimulating antibodies
TSI antibody test
Sensitive and specific for graves
Hypothyroidism kid cretinism
Mental retardation, growth retardation, coarse facial features, umbilical hernias
Why cretinism
Endemic areas. No iodine
Depends on time of onset in mom . Can be a result of genetic alterations in normal thyroid metabolic pathways
Iodized salt reversed this wide spread
Single most correctable cause of mental retardation globally
Hypothyroidism present in adult
Sluggish slowing down BMR slowing
Lethargy
Weight gain, cold intolerance, cardiac effect (lower output), increased cholesterol), hair loss, face edema, dry skin, brittle hair and nails
Thyroidisit
Hashimoto
Granulomatous
Hashimoto
Autoimmune most common hypothyroidism ind enveloped world
Why get hashimoto
Autoantibodies against thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase
Signs hashimoto
Diffuse painless enlargement of thyroid (infiltrate with lymphocyte originally hyperactivity and enlargement although brief and subclinal but if severe come to attention hashitoxicosis, but then exhaust follicular cells and shrink)
Hashimoto exhaust histo
Lymphocytic infiltrate looks like lymph node in thyroid
Germinal centers with lymphocytic infiltrate
Atrophic follicle cells with eosinophilic change -HURTHLE CELL METAPLASIA
HURTHLE CELL
Eosinophilic change red glands
Hashimoto vs graves histo
Hashimoto-follicles shrunken and red meaning they have given up
Graves-hyperactive
Antibodies graves and hashimoto
TSI in both, but more graves
Thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase was up hasimoto
Graves TSH antiglobulins up a lot but can have up with others away
Granulomatous thyroiditis
De quervain
Painful granulomata
Histiocytosis, inflammation, painful
Viral origin
Wanes in a few months though for normal granulomatous thyroiditis
Riddle thyroiditis
Fibrosing process extends from the thyroid into adjacent tissue
Fibrosis of Riehle
Start in thyroid and get hypothyroid but doesn’t stop extends to adjacent tissue
Surgeon with riedel
Cement
Anaplastic carcinoma or reidel-are what surgeon will think when feel how hard
Histology riedel
Fibrosis!!! And inflammatory infiltrate see lymphocytes and plasma cells
IgG4
Riedel they’re all related…fibrosis with plasma cells is riedel
Sclerosing process effects multiple systems
What is happening with IgG4
Differentiation of fibroblast, plasma fell and IgG4 whihc will give you the bad things
IgG4 related diseases
Autoimmune pancreatitis
Multifocal fibrosclerosis-sclerosing mediastinitis
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
Hasimoto cause, histology, thyroid state, TPO
Autoimmune
Lymphocytes
Hypothyroidism
High titer
Subacute lymphocytic cause, histology, thyroid states, TPO
Autoimmune, lymphocytes, hypo or hyperthyroidism, high titer
Granulomatous cause histology, thyroid state, TPO
Unknown, granulomata, hypo or hyperthyroid
Low titer or absent
Riedel cause histology, thyroid , TPO
Unknown, fibrosis, euthyroid, variable
Goiter
Large thyroid can be diffuse or nodular, non toxic or toxic, benign or malignant
Diffuse nontoxic goiter
Not nodular
Endemic goiter->iodine defiency most commonly
Goitrogens of diffuse nontoxic goiter
Cassava root, brasssicaceae(broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radish
If good better!! Raw bad
Sporadic goiter
More commmon in females not sure why
Euthyroid diffuse goiter
Function normal a lot…so come to attention from mass effect
Mass effect diffuse nontoxic goiter
Dysphagia, hoarseness, stridor, SVC syndrome
Raise arm goiter
Venous occlusion, face problem
Multinodular goiter why get
Hyperplasia, regression cycle
Varied response of nodules to stimuli
Neoplastic nature of some nodules(adenomas-neoplastic)
Mass effect multinodular
Can be huge!!!! Neck doesn’t give much room for growth…so tuck behind sternum and into chest cavity
Substernal goiter
So large go behind the sternum
Benign substernal goiter
Yup
Radioisotope scanning
If nodule is hyperfunctional
If hyperfunctional nodule with hyperthyroid HOT
Can be treated with excision or ablation
Cold nodule
Don’t know what dealing with….more likely to be neoplastic/malignant though
Hot nodule
Benign more likely
Most thyroid nodules benign of not for hot and cold
Benign
What if cold
FNA-molecular testing can be used for diagnostic purposes
Presence of thyroid low TSH hot or cold
Take out
Cold-back to patients not hyperthyroid and do FNA find out what patient has
FNA
Tell how suspicious for malignancy
Thyroid nodules benign
Hyperplastic nodules and follicular adenomas
