Q

Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) in thyroid hormone conversion?

A

Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) decrease peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, but it is their anti-inflammatory effects that improve Graves ophthalmopathy.

Q

what improves inflammation in graves?

A

Glucocorticoids (eg, prednisone) decrease peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, but it is their anti-inflammatory effects that improve Graves ophthalmopathy. Glucocorticoids decrease the severity of inflammation and reduce the excess extraocular volume. They also can prevent worsening of ophthalmopathy induced by radioactive iodine treatment.

Q

thyrotoxicosis due to exogenous factors. UW.
Why atrophy of folicules?

A

Excess T4 supplementation supresses TSH, which decreases iodine organification and coloid formation -> resulting in DIFFUSE ATROPHY OF THYROID FOLLICLES.

Q

Iodide uptake is upregulated by? UW

A

Iodide uptake is upregulated by TSH.

28
Q

Iodide uptake is upregulated by TSH. Perchlorate and pertechnetate are competitive inhibitors of the sodium-iodide symporter. UW

A

.

29
Q

UW. What are Hurtle cells?

A

Hürthle cells (large cells with granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm) representing follicular epithelial cells that have undergone metaplastic change in response to inflammation.

30
Q

UW table. Subacute 3 clinical features?

A

onset following viral infection
painful enlargement
transient hyperthyroid symptoms

31
Q

UW table. Hashimoto 3 clinical features?

A

autoimmune etiology
painless enlargement
predominant hypothyroidism features

32
Q

UW table. Subacute 2 diagnostic?

A

incr. ESR and CRB
decr. Iodine uptake

33
Q

UW table. Hashimoto 2 diagnostic?

A

positive TPO antibody (but nonspecific)
variable radioiodine uptake

34
Q

UW table. Subacute histopatho?

A

granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate with macrophages and GIANT CELLS

35
Q

UW table. Hashimoto histopatho?

A

Chronic inflammation (lymphocytes and plasma cells) with germinal centers and hurthle cells.

36
Q

UW. Why in subacute might be hyperthyroid phase?

A

due to release of stored thyroid hormone
Supressed TSH, high T4

37
Q

UW. Why decreased iodine uptake in subacute?

A

low TSH -> suppressed synthesis of new thyroid hormone

38
Q

A

Hyper; hypo; recovery

39
Q

UW. postpartum thyroiditis.
When and how long hyper?

A

Q

UW. postpartum thyroiditis.
When and how long hypo?

A

Q

UW. postpartum thyroiditis.
When and how long recovery?

A

nera tiksliai nurodyta, bet pati trukme iki 12 men, tai cia gausis iki 4 men.

42
Q

UW. postpartum thyroiditis. what happens in hyper?

Diffuse swelling and decr. blood flow on UG

48
Q

UW table. In what diseases incr. TH synthesis?

A

Graves and toxic nodules

49
Q

UW table. In what diseases release of preformed TH?

A

Silent (sporadic) thyroiditis
Postpartum thyroiditis
Subacute thyroiditis

50
Q

in both new synthesis/release of preformed are increased TH (thyroxine and triiodothyroinine), and decr. TSH

A

.

51
Q

UW table. TG is more increased in what?

A

In release of preformed TH (if synthesis also increased, but less)

52
Q

UW table. radioiodine uptake increased where?

A

in synthesis; in release of preformed no

53
Q

UW table. in whar incr. blood flow on UG?

A

in synthesis. in preformed not increased.

54
Q

postpartum. what lab in hyperthyroid phase?

A

incr. T4 and T3, decr. TSH

55

decr. T4 and T3, incr. TSH

56
Q

postpartum. Histopatho?

A

Lymphocytic infiltrates +/- germinal centers
NESUMAISYTI SU HASHIMOTO

57
Q

Postpartum thyroiditis is associated with high titers of antithyroid peroxidase and antithyroglobulin autoantibodies, which activate complement in thyroid follicles and stimulate NK cells. !!!!!!!

A

.

58
Q

where is problem in primary hypothyroidism?

A

in thyroid gland

59
Q

what do thyroid in response to TSH from pituitary?

A

release T4 and T3

60
Q

what is the most sensitive marker for primary hypothyroidism?

A

Serum TSH

Small changes in thyroid hormone levels leads to large changes in TSH levels.

TSH is more sensitive than T4 and T3 levels for primary hypothyroidism

61
Q

Where is the problem in secondary hypothyroidism?

A

hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction

62
Q

primary vs secondary(central) hypothyroidism?

A

primary - low T4 and T3, but high TSH
secondary - low T4, low TSH

63
Q

secondary(central) hypothyroidism causes?

A

mass lesion (eg pituitary adenoma)
Pituitary surgery, trauma, radiation
Infiltrative disorders (sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis)
Pituitary infarction (eg Sheenan)

64
Q

secondary(central) hypothyroidism symptoms?

A

Hypothyroidism symtoms
Mass-effect symtoms

65
Q

Secondary (central) HYPER thyroidism is a rare disorder, usually caused by?

A

TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Both TSH and serum T4 levels are elevated.
