in order to examine the prevalence of thyroid disease in a hospital outpatient setting, in an area of sufficient iodine intake, serum levels of tsh, t4, t3, anti-tg and anti-tpo antibodies were examined in 909 individuals with an age range of 12.4 to 88.5 years, participating in a checkup outpatient setting. the study was conducted in henry dynant hospital located in the metropolitan area of at...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy and delivery markedly influence thyroid function. However, the comparative prevalence of gestational thyrotoxicosis (GT), new onset of Graves' disease during pregnancy (GD during pregnancy), postpartum destructive thyrotoxicosis (PPT), and postpartum Graves' thyrotoxicosis (PPGD) has not yet been determined. METHODS We prospectively registered and performed a review of 41...

OBJECTIVE To present a case of hypercalcemia associated with thyrotoxicosis in a patient with vitamin D deficiency and review biochemical changes during the course of treatment. METHODS We report a case, describe the changes in serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone in Graves' disease and concomitant Vitamin D deficiency. We compare our findings to those reported in literature. RESU...

goiter is common among growing children and adolescents but thyrotoxicosis is a rare thyroid disorder in this age prevalence of thyrotoxicosis and clinical presentation in prevalence of thyrotoxicosis and clinical presentation of the disease among children and adolescents of the disease among children and adolescents presenting for goiter at the clinics of pediatric presenting for goiter at the...

Congestive heart failure is a recognised complication of uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis but isolated right heart failure is rarely seen in association with thyrotoxicosis. Two cases of right heart failure associated with thyrotoxicosis are presented. In a 45-year-old man with right heart failure, investigations for all common secondary causes of right heart failure were negative. The only concurre...

Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis is often poorly tolerated owing to underlying cardiac disease, and frequently resistant to medical therapy. We describe a 48-year-old patient with severe cardiac disease who developed amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, refractory to standard medical therapy. Due to the unremitting thyrotoxicosis, a total thyroidectomy was performed without complications resu...

Both clinical and subclinical thyrotoxicosis can result from a wide range of disorders. Establishing the correct etiology underlying thyrotoxicosis is essential to direct treatment towards its specific pathophysiologic process. Based on clinical experience and guideline recommendations, radioiodine iodine uptake (RAIU) measurement and scintigraphy are often requested as the first-line investiga...

INTRODUCTION Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical entity often very difficult to diagnose without biochemical confirmation as its clinical features can be highly varied. The most common cardiac manifestations of thyrotoxicosis are resting sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter with or without cardiac failure. Bradycardia and atrio-ventricular co...

Gluconeogenesis in thyrotoxicosis was studied by oral glycerol-loading test and alanine-loading test performed on 5 normal subjects and 5 cases of thyrotoxicosis. The blood glucose levels in thyrotoxicosis rose after the administration of glycerol deposit elevation of the plasma levels of insulin. After the administration of alanine, the levels of IRI, pyruvate and lactate elevated in thyrotoxi...
