Q

effect of amiodarone on TFT

A
  • inhibiting TH entry into peripheral tissues
  • inhibiting type I 5’-deiodinase activity which converts T4 to T3 and reverses T3 to T2. (This inhibition may continue months after amiodarone withdrawal.)
  • inhibiting type II 5’-deiodinase which converts T4 to T3 in the pituitary
  • failure to escape from the Wolff-Chaikoff effect
  • precipitating or exacerbating preexisting organ-specific autoimmunity in susceptible individuals, such as those with autoimmune thyroiditis
    dysregulating thyroid hormone synthesis, especially in patients with thyroid nodules or goiter.

decrease RAI

76
Q

Tx GO

A

SEvere:
- taping of eyelids at night
swimming goggles

77
Q

what is TRH stimulation

A

you give IV TRH to a patient and measure TSH, FT4

primary hypothyroid: stimulates TSH but fT4 is low

pituitary: no rise in TSH

hypothalamic: TRH produces delayed (60-120min vs 15-30min) increase in TSH
(because TRH was deficient before, so TSH was not being made, so now it takes longer
b/c needs to be made from the start, rather than some present and released right away)

thyroid hormone resistance: both TSH and free thyroid hormones are high (b/c body
is not responding to free thyroid hormones so TSH ramping up)

Q

remnant from thyroid budding

A

Foramen cecum

79
Q

remnant from thyroid migration

A

thyroglossal duct

80
Q

after RAI for hyperthyroidism, what to do

consider resuming MMI 3-7 days after RAI if symptomatic

Follow-up within the first 1–2 months after RAI
-> do free T4, total T3, and TSH

Biochemical monitoring should be continued at 4- to 6-week intervals for 6 months
Continue until stable hypothyroidism

81
Q

how to prepare for surgery to Hyperthyroidism
what to do with meds

A

Render euthyroid

KI- containing preparation should be given in the immediate preoperative period

ATD should be stopped at the time of thyroidectomy for GD

b-adrenergic blockers should be weaned follow- ing surgery

82
Q

A

○ Iodide influx (cell), efflux (colloid)
