Thyrotoxicosis
• Defined as the result when the tissues are exposed to,and respond to,excess thyroid hormone.
• Rather than being a specific disease,thyrotoxicosis can originate in a variety of ways.
• RAIU is subnormal

Thyrotoxicosis
• The hypermetabolic condition associated with elevated levels of free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), or both.
• The medical term to describe the signs and symptoms associated with an over production of thyroid hormone.
![Page 5: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hyperthyroidism
• Denotes only those conditions in which sustained hyperfunction of the thyroid gland leads to thyrotoxicosis.
• Increased RAIU is the hallmark.

Physiology of Thyroid Hormones
![Page 7: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Varieties of Thyrotoxicosis• Associated with
thyroid hyperfunction:• Excess production of
TSH(rare)• Abnormal thyroid
stimulator-Eg:Graves’ disease
• Intrinsic thyroid autonomy-Eg:Hyperfunctioning adenoma, Toxic multinodular goitre
• Not associated with thyroid hyperfunction:
• Disorders of hormone storage-Eg:Subacute thyroiditis, chronic thyroiditis
• Extrathyroid source of hormone- Thyrotoxicosis factitia,ectopic thyroid tissue- struma ovarii, functioning follicular Ca.

HyperthyroidismGraves’ disease
• Also known as Parry’s or Basedow’s disease.• Graves’ disease is a disorder with three major
manifestations:• 1)Hyperthyroidism with diffuse goitre• 2)Ophthalmopathy and• 3)Dermopathy.• These three manifestations may not appear
together.
![Page 9: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Incidence and prevalence
• Relatively common disease that can occur at any age
• More common in the 3rd and 4th decade• Disease is more frequent in women(7:1)• Genetic factors play a important role• An overlap exsists with other autoimmune
diseases suggesting Graves is also a autoimmune thyroid disease
![Page 10: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Etiology and Pathogenesis• Cause of Graves’ is unknown• No single factor is responsible for the entire
syndrome• With respect to hyperthyroidism,the central
disorder is a disruption of homeostatic mechanisms that normally control hormone secretion.This disruption results from the presence in the plasma of thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins(TSI’s) of IgG class and inhibition of the binding of TSH to its receptors(TBII’s).These factors represent TRAb’s.
![Page 11: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pathology• Thyroid gland is diffusely enlarged,soft and
vascular.• There is parenchymatous hyperplasia and
hypertrophy with lymphocytic infilteration.• The ophthalmopathy is characterized by an
inflammatory infilterate of the orbital contents,with lymphocytes,mast cells and plasma cells
• The dermopathy of Graves’ disease is characterized by thickening of the dermis,which is infilterated by lymphocytes and mucopolysaccharides
![Page 12: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Clinical features
• The clinical manifestations include those that reflect the associated thyrotoxicosis and those specifically related to Graves’ disease
![Page 13: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clinical features of thyrotoxicosis
• Neuromuscular:• Nervousness,irritability,emotional
liability,psychosis• Tremor• Hyperreflexia,ill sustained clonus• Muscle weakness,proximal myopathy,bulbar
myopathy• Reproductive:Amenorrhoea,Oligomenorrhoea Infertility,impotence

Manifestations of Graves’ disease
• The distinctive manifestations-diffuse hyperfunctioning goiter,ophthalmopathy,and dermopathy-appear in varying combinations,and in varying frequencies,goiter being the most common.
• Premature greying of hair and patchy vitiligo are non specific features of Graves’s
![Page 17: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Goiter
• Is diffuse and toxic and maybe asymetric and lobular.
• There may be presence of bruit over the goiter

Ophthalmopathy
• Signs of Graves’s ophthalmopathy are divided into two components:
• 1) Spastic: Stare, lid lag and lid retraction which account for the “frightened” facies.
• 2) Mechanical: Proptosis of varying degrees,ophthalmoplegia,and congestive occulopathy characterized by chemosis,conjunctivitis,periorbital swelling and the potential complications of corneal ulceration,optic neiritis and optic atrophy.

Dermopathy• Usually occurs over the dorsum of the legs or feet
and is termed localized or pretibial myxedema.• It is usually a late phenomenon• The affected area is usually demarcated from the
normal skin by being raised andthickened and having a peau d’ orange appearance;it may be pruritic and hyperpigmented.
• The most common presentation is non pitting oedema,but lesions maybe plaque like,nodular or polypoid.
• Clubbing of the fingers and toes accompanies and is termed thyroid acropachy

• Radiation thyroiditis
![Page 39: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Complications of thyrotoxicosis• 1)Cardiac- Heart failure Atrial fibrillation
• 2)Thyrotoxic crises: or ‘storm’:• Fulminating increase in signs and symptoms of
thyrotoxicosis.• Occurs in medically untreated or inadequately
treated patients.May be precipitated by surgery or sepsis
• The syndrome is characterized by extreme irritability,delirium or coma,fever 41°C or more,tachycardia,restlessness,hypotension,vomiting and diarrhea.
![Page 40: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Treatment of thyroid crisis• Provide supportive care;• Treat dehydration• Administer glucose and saline• Vitamin B complex and glucocorticoids• Digitalization is required in those with atrial
fibrillation• Immediate and large doses of anti thyroid
agents(Eg-propylthiouracil 100mg every 2h)• Iodine intravenously or by mouth• Propranolol 40-80mg every 6h• Dexamethasone(2mg every 6h) and to be tapered
later.
![Page 41: PPT Thyrotoxicosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/5515ca72497959fd1d8b5023/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Treatment of ophthalmopathy and Dermopathy
• Methylcellulose eye drops• Tinted glasses• Persistant diplopia can be corrected by surgery• Papilloedema,loss of visual field or acuity requires
urgent treatment with prednisolone 60 mg daily.• Majority of patients require no treatment other
than reassurance.• Dermopathy of Graves rarely requires treatment
