Thyroid Gland disorders Omar Dhaimat, MD FACE Consultant Endocrinologist Consultant EndocrinologistHMC DUBAI 2008

Introduction  Common disease.  Different types.  Variable terminology.  Treatable disease.  Wide spectrum of presentation.  All age groups. DUBAI 2008

Introduction  Found by Leonardo da Vinci by  Called the thyroid gland by Thomas Wharton in  Courtois discovered Iodine about  Kendall extracted thyroxine In 1920s.  Kocher won a noble prize for work in thyroid disease. DUBAI 2008

Thyroiditis

Autoimmune Thyroid Destruction  3 mechanisms.  A.Thyroid autoimmunity:  Thyroid antibodies are directed against thyroid peroxidase and against thyroglobulin.  Both cellular and humoral immunity.  B.Genetic susceptibility: DUBAI 2008

Autoimmune Thyroid Destruction  Association with HLA-DR3,4&5 has been reported in patients with HT &PPT.  CTLA-4 may be associated with familial HT.  Subacute thyroiditis had higher incidence in those with HLA-bw35. DUBAI 2008

Autoimmune Thyroid Destruction  C.Environmental factors:  Hypothyroidism in patients with HT develop more in smokers.Also,PPH happens more with smokers..  Iodine insufficiency in diet may be protective against autoimmune thyroiditis. DUBAI 2008

Clinical and Biochemical Changes in thyroiditis  A.Thyrotoxicosis:  In painless ST,PPH,SAT;Inflammatory destruction of the thyroid may lead to transient thyrotoxicosis as preformed thyroid hormones are released from the damaged gland. DUBAI 2008

Clinical and Biochemical Changes in thyroiditis  As the stored are depleted,there is often a progression through a period of euthyrodism to hypothyrodism.  Tg will increase first,TSH will be suppressed,T3,T4 will be elevated.  Symptoms are usually not severe. DUBAI 2008

Clinical and Biochemical Changes in thyroiditis  B.Hypothyrodism:  Gradual depletion of stored thyroid hormones.  HT most common,but all other causes may progress to permanent hypothyroidism.  TSH will rise,t3,t4 will be low.If they are normal with high TSH,this is called ‘subclinical hypothyroidism’. DUBAI 2008

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis  Most common cause.  Most have goiter.Firm,bumpy,symmetric painless.10% have atrophic thyroid gland.  Hypothyroidism is the commonest presentation.  TPO are present in 90%,ATG in %.  24 hr RAI uptake is not helpful in dx.  Levothyroxine is the treatment of choice.  Lymphoma is a very rare complication. DUBAI 2008

Painless Postpartum thyroditis  10 % of women in USA may develop it within first few months after delivery.  Most common in women with high TPO levels during 1 st trimester,immediately after therapy,have other autoimmune diseases like DM 1.  30 % will have the classic triphasic hormone pattern. DUBAI 2008

PPT  70% chance of recurrence with subsequent pregnancies.  Hypothyroidism may be treated if symptoms are present for a period of time.  Antithyroid medications are contraindicated.  Beta blockers can be used if symptoms are severe. DUBAI 2008

Painless Sporadic Thyroiditis  Indistinguishable from PPT except by the relation of the later to pregnancy.  Account for 1% of cases with thyrotoxicosis.  Small,non-tender,very firm,diffuse goiter is present in 50% of patients.  Low or undetectable concentration of I123 at 24 hrs.  Treatment,same as PPT. DUBAI 2008

Painful Subacute Thyroiditis  Most common cause of thyroid pain.  Self-limited inflammatory disorder.  Follows URTI,high incidence in summer,with the peak of Enterovirus.  Clinical scenario: DUBAI 2008

Painful Subacute Thyroiditis  Generalized myalgias,pharyngitis,low grade fever and severe neck pain,swelling or both.  50% have symptoms of thyrotoxicosis.  State of biochemical euthyroidism.  Hypothyroidism will last for 4-6 months. DUBAI 2008

Painful Subacute Thyroiditis  5% will have residual hypothyroidism.  Hall mark is ELEVATED ESR.  Leukocyte count is normal or slightly elevated.  High T4,T3.(T4 ratio to t3<20).Undetectable TSH. DUBAI 2008

Painful Subacute Thyroiditis  24-hour I(123) is low in the toxic phase.  Treatment: symptomatic relief.  NSAIDS,ASA.  Glucocorticoids in more severe cases.  Beta-blockers. DUBAI 2008

Suppurative Thyroiditis  Bacterial infection,fungal,mycobacterial or parasitic infection.  Thyroid is resistant to infection (encapsulated,high iodide content,rich blood supply and extensive lymphatic drainage).  People at risk:1.Preexisting thyroid disease. DUBAI 2008

Suppurative Thyroiditis  2.Congenital anomalies(pyriform sinus fistula most common source of infection in children).  3.Immuno-suppressed,elderly.  4.AIDS (pneumocystis carinii and others). DUBAI 2008

Suppurative Thyroiditis  Presentation: ill with fever,dysphagia,dysphonia,anterior neck pain and erythema and a tender thyroid mass.  Normal thyroid function test.  High ESR,WBC.  FNA with gram’s staining and culture is the diagnostic test of choice.  Therapy: appropriate antibiotics and drainage of any abscess. DUBAI 2008

Riedel’s Thyroiditis  Progressive fibrosis.  Rare disease.  High serum thyroid antibody in 67% of patients.  Rock- hard,fixed & painless goiter. DUBAI 2008

Riedel’s Thyroiditis  Tracheal,esophageal compression or hypoparathyroidism.  Open biopsy is needed.  Glucocorticoids,methotrexate and tamoxifen can be used.  Surgery is the treatment of choice. DUBAI 2008

Drug-induced thyroiditis  Amiodarone.  Lithium.  Interferon alpha.  Interleukin 2. DUBAI 2008

Hyperthyroidism  Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.  Hyperthyroidism versus thyrotoxicosis.  Other causes: toxic multi-nodular goiter,autonomous hyper-functioning adenoma,Tsh-secreting pituitary adenoma.  S.A.T,lymphocytic thyroiditis. DUBAI 2008

Hyperthyroidism  Other rare causes(Hydat.M,c.carc,Struma Ovarii,metastatic thyroid carcinoma.  Presentation:  Signs and symptoms:  1.Nervous system.  2.Cardiac system. DUBAI 2008

Hyperthyroidism  3.Musculoskeletal system.  4.GI system.  5.Eyes:  Lid lag,lid retraction,exophalmos,infiltrative ophthalmopathy. DUBAI 2008

Hyperthyroidism  Skin manifestation:  Warm,moist and velvety.Hot sweaty hands,Onycholysis.Pretibial myxedema.  Thyroid acropachy. DUBAI 2008

Hyperthyroidism  Metabolic system:  Weight loss,increase in appetite.  Apathetic hyperthyroidism????? DUBAI 2008

Tests  TSH.  Free t3,free t4.  TSI,antibodies.  Thyroid uptake of RA iodine.  Thyroid scan role. DUBAI 2008
