🗑
Silent or painless thyroiditis (early) AKA:   Hashitoxicosis  
🗑
thyroiditis (early): course:   hyperthy (1-3 mo); then hypothy (1-3 mo); then euthyroid  
🗑
hypothyroid prevalence   2% of US F (0.2% US M); 1 in 4000 newborns  
🗑
Hypothyroid etiology   Primary (Hashimoto/autoimmune); atrophy; meds, lithium; Post thyroid surg; secondary or tertiary/central. World: iodine deficiency  
🗑
Hashimoto etiology   cytotoxic anti-thy Ab's (80-90% antithyroglobulin); >50 yo  
🗑
subacute thyroiditis etio   TH leak due to viral infxn -> thy gland destruction  
🗑
subacute thyroiditis: exam   Fever; large irreg very tender thyroid; TSH, FT4, FT3, thyroglobulin, ESR, uptake & scan(result: zero)  
🗑
subacute thyroiditis: Tx   ASA/ NSAIDs; prednisone  
🗑
silent thyroiditis: etio   transient autoimmune dysfn (often post-partum); sudden onset of hyperthyroid  
🗑
silent thyroiditis: exam & Tx   large nodular thyroid; TSH, FT4, FT3, anti-thy Ab (30%), uptake & scan; Rx beta blocker  
🗑
levothyroxine adverse effects   Osteoporosis; Inc cardiac contractility; Inc risk of A-fib; Allergic rxn dye in tablets  
🗑
Hypothyroid management   Thyroid replacment. Monitor at 6 weeks after starting & changing dose. May need to decrease AC, insulin, oral DM meds. Cholestyramine may increase T4 requirements.  
🗑
Decreased radioactive iodine uptake, decreased free T4, increased TSH   Hashimoto thyroiditis  
🗑
Infant w/ round face, large protruding tongue, dry skin, umbilical hernia, constipation, enlarged abdomen, poor feeding, delayed devt milestones =   Congenital Hypothyroidism  
🗑
Wt gain, edema, coarse dry skin, hair, menorrhagia, cold intolerance, h/o transphenoidal surgery & radiation   Hypothyroidism  
🗑
Primary hypothyroidism   Thyroid gland fails to make T4; TSH is HIGH; FREE T4 is LOW  
🗑
Secondary hypothyroidism:   Pituitary gland fails to make TSH; poss sequela of panhypopituitarism; TSH is inappropriately LOW; FREE T4 is LOW  
🗑
Hypothyroid S/S   Cold intolerance; fatigue; slowed cognition; depression; menorrhagia; weight gain; constipation; myxedema coma  
🗑
Secondary hypothyroidism: you cannot:   Follow TSH to adjust thyroid hormone replacement (must also follow Free T4)  
🗑
hypothyroidism & low normal TSH, low normal T4: consider:   Secondary hypothyroidism  
🗑
