A different cause of thyrotoxicosis: Alemtuzumab induced thyrotoxicosis

[Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis].

Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction occurs in about 15-20% of patients under amiodarone therapy. Amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH) can develop in patients with an apparently normal thyroid gland or in those with an underlying chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. On a clinical ground, AIH is not challenging and can be easily treated with L-thyroxine therapy. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis...

Management of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.

Amiodarone is used increasingly in a number of cardiac conditions. Amiodarone is heavily iodinated and can cause thyroid dysfunction. The diagnosis of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis remains difficult and more common causes of thyrotoxicosis need to be considered and excluded. Amiodarone has a significant side effect profile, which includes thyroid dysfunction. Amiodarone is an effective drug...

" Scire est nescire, nisi id me Scire alius sciret SPRING, 194:1. It would not be possible to deal at all fully with the scientific aspects of this subject in an article of reasonable length, and still less would it be possible to give a resume of the enormous literature that has grown up concerning it. My purpose is much simpler ; it is to present a record of personal experience and to offer s...

Thyrotoxicosis.

Thyrotoxicosis is a common disorder, especially in women. The most frequent cause is Graves' disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism). Other important causes include toxic nodular hyperthyroidism, due to the presence of one or more autonomously functioning thyroid nodules, and thyroiditis caused by inflammation, which results in release of stored hormones. Antithyroid drugs are the usual initial tr...
