Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) in thyroid hormone conversion?
Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) decrease peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, but it is their anti-inflammatory effects that improve Graves ophthalmopathy.
what improves inflammation in graves?
Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) decrease peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, but it is their anti-inflammatory effects that improve Graves ophthalmopathy. Glucocorticoids decrease the severity of inflammation and reduce the excess extraocular volume. They also can prevent worsening of ophthalmopathy induced by radioactive iodine treatment.
Graves - what thyroid?
diffuse goiter - constant stimulation of TSH leads to thyroid hyperplasia and hyperthrophy
Pathoma
Graves - what histology? UW
thyroid folicular epithelium - tall and crowded with hyperactive reabsorbtion -> causing scalloping around the edges of the colloid.
Graves - TG serum levels? UW
High serum levels due to increased thyroid metabolic activity
what produces thyroglobulin? UW
thyroid folicular cells
levels of thyroglobulin in normal function? UW
small amount is released
levels of thyroglobulin in thyrotoxicosis due to exogenous factors? UW
low levels (untedectable) - noninflammatory SUPRESSION OF THYROID ACTIVITY
thyrotoxicosis due to exogenous factors. UW.
Why atrophy of folicules?
Excess T4 supplementation supresses TSH, which decreases iodine organification and coloid formation -> resulting in DIFFUSE ATROPHY OF THYROID FOLLICLES.
thyrotoxicosis due to exogenous factors. UW. How looks thyroid and colloid? ats is situacijos
Diffuse atrophy of the thyroid follicles with decreased colloid.
Hashimoto histopathology? UW/pathoma
chronic inflammation -> mononuclear infiltrate (lymphocytes and plasma cells) with germinal centers AND HURTLE CELLS
chronic inflammation -> mononuclear infiltrate (lymphocytes and plasma cells) with germinal centers AND HURTLE CELLS?
Hashimoto thyroiditis
Thyroglobulin in hashimoto? UW
elevated thyroglobulin due to inflammatory disruption of thryoid follicules.
elevated thyroglobulin due to inflammatory disruption of thryoid follicules?
Hashimoto
De Quervain thyroiditis histo? UW/pathoma
disruption of follicles and a mixed cellular infiltrate with occasional multinucleated giant cells.
GRANULOMATOUS THYROIDITIS
Thyroglobulin in de quervain? UW
elevated due to destructive thyroiditis
normal TSH range?
0,5 - 5 mcU/ml
kai vartojant vaistus <0,01 - doze per didele
UW. endogenous hyperthyroidism or exogenous sources -> increased Beta adrenergic receptors -> hyperadrenergic state -> cardiovascular complications
.
UW. What is the most common cardio complication in thyrotoxycosis?
atrial fibrillation - most common supraventricular arrhythmia
UW. Why might be angina in thyrotoxicosis?
incr. contractility -> incr. O2 demand -> precipitate angina in patients with underlying coronary disease
UW. Why might be high-CO HF in thyrotoxicosis?
Incr. EF -> CO while decrease SVR
thyrotoxicosis. peripheral vessels? UW
dilation (decr. SVR)
thyrotoxicosis. effect of incr. Rate? UW
tahycardia/palpitations
AF
thyrotoxicosis. 3 effects on contractility?
incr. EF and CO
incr. Myocardial O2 demand and and angina
incr. pulmonary artery pressure
thyrotoxicosis. other 4 effects on cardio? SBP, DBP, PP
UW
decr. diastolic pressure
incr. systolicr pressure
incr. pulse pressure
High output heart failure
Beta blocker other effect in thyroid hormone synthesis? UW
Beta blocker other effect – decr. peripheral conversion of T4 -> T3 via inhib. 5-deiodinase
