Hashimoto's thyroiditis following Graves' disease.
Both Graves' disease and chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) are autoimmune diseases of thyroid gland. Graves' disease is caused by stimulation of TSH receptor located on the thyroid gland by an antibody, which is known as TSH receptor antibody (TRAb). Furthermore, this may lead to hyperplasia and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland. On the contrary, the cause of Hashimoto's thyroiditi...
متن کاملCut off value of technetium uptake in the differential diagnosis of Graves, disease and subacute thyroiditis
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...
متن کاملIncreased pertechnetate and radioiodine uptake in the thyroid gland with subacute thyroiditis and concurrent Graves' disease.
OBJECTIVE A 61 years old woman presented with low grade fever and weight loss for a month. Thyroid function tests showed hyperthyroidism: increased technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)Tc O(-)4) and radioiodine ((131)I) uptake and elevated thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TSHRAb). She also had high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of left thyro...
متن کاملDifferentiating Graves' disease from subacute thyroiditis using ratio of serum free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine
BACKGROUND The measurement of free thyroid hormone, instead of the total form, is more commonly used in current practice. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the ratio of serum free triiodothyronine (FT3, pg/mL) to free thyroxine (FT4, ng/dL) for differentiating Graves' disease from subacute thyroiditis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of thyrotoxic patients aged >15 years who had me...
متن کاملSubacute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis.
Figure 1. Intermediate-power microscopy shows the eosinophilic colloid-filled follicles at the periphery. In many follicles in the center, the epithelium has been replaced by the inflammatory reaction and the colloid is reduced or absent. Microabscess formation with foreign-body-type giant cells can be seen. Figure 2. A: The colloid is engulfed by the ring of foreign-body-type giant cells with ...
