大綱 • When to consider thyroid disorder ? • How to arrange examination of thyroid? • What is Nonthyroidal illness syndrome ? • How to treatment ?
When to suspect hyperthyroidism in hospitalized patient ? • tachycardia Sinus tachycardia Af • consciousness change • Fever • Paralysis with hypokalemia • Others : BW loss . elevated liver enzyme
Cardiovascular effect of hyperthyroidism • increase contractility and cardiac output • peripheral vascular resistance is decreased • Systolic hypertension with widened pulse pressure • 40% sinus tachycardiac • Atrial fibrillation occurs in 10 to 20 percent of patients with hyperthyroidism tachyarrythmic cardiomyopathy • High- or normal-output congestive heart failure can occur in patients with severe hyperthyroidism • Pulmonary hypertension
Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis(TPP) • more prevalent in Asians and inmales20~40 y/o • Thyroid hormone increases tissue responsiveness to beta-adrenergic stimulation which increases sodium-potassium ATPase activity on the skeletal muscle membrane • precipitated by events that are associated with an increased release of epinephrine orinsulin, both of which cause movement of potassium into cells
Predisposing factors : Na/K ATP channel gene mutation Precipitating factors : CHO intake Exercise Symptoms : weakness, usually affecting proximal muscles, and the legs more than the arms Mild myalgia less than half of patients Hypokalemia : The degree of hypokalemia during an attack is variable; a report : the mean serum potassium level was 2.1 mmol/L
Treatment : • KCl replacement ; but avoid reboundhyperkalemia • Propanolol • Restoration of euthyroidism • Propranolol, a beta adrenergic blocker, presumably reverses the excessive stimulation of the sodium-potassium ATPase and excessive drive of potassium into cells
Thyroid storm • Severe thyrotoxicosis . Score • Cardinal presentation : • Tachycardia : • rates that can exceed 140 beats/min, along with congestive heart failure • Fever : • Consciousness change : • Agitation, delirium, psychosis, stupor, or coma (Others : GPT GOT elevation . vomiting diarrhea . jaundice ) • Precipitating factors : • surgery, trauma, infection, AMI or an acute iodine load
When to suspect hypothyroidism in hospitalized patient ? • Consciousness change • dementia . delirium • Hyponatremia • Pericardial effusion • Muscles complaint with CPK elevation • Edema • CO2 retention • Others : low temperature . constipation . sinus bradycardia
Cardiovascular effect of hypothyroidism • decrease in cardiac output and cardiac contractility • reduction in heart rate • increase in peripheral vascular resistance and diastolic hypertension • However, heart failure due solely to hypothyroidism is rare • Hyperlipidemia atherosclerosis CVD risk
Hyponatremia • Cause : • Inappropriate ADH secretion • Decreased GFR free water retention Correction to euthyroid Water restriction
Hypothyroid myopathy • Common • Symptoms : weakness . myalgia . cramping • 25 % CPK elevation ( CPK 100 ~1000) • Rare Rhabdomyolysis
Periorbital edema and nonpitting leg edema interstitial accumulation of glycosaminoglycans with associated extravascular water retention Some patients have pitting edema edema
Myxedema coma frequently do not present in coma, but almost altered consciousness severe, long-standing hypothyroidism and precipitated by an acute event such as infection, myocardial infarction, cold exposure, or the administration of sedative drugs high mortality rate 40 %
Others Fever and neck pain subacute thyroiditis Special medications drugs related thyroid dysfunction Neck lymadenopathy thyroid cancer Metastatic cancer thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular carcinoma metastatic to lungs bone) MEN2 medullary thyroid cancer
Subacute thyroiditis Neck pain , tender and firm thyroid mass Fever (may present as chronic fever or FUO ) Tachycardia due to thyrotoxicosis ESR Tc99m scan uptake Treatment : NSAID and Steroid
Drugs related thyroid dysfunction Inhibition of TSH : • Glucocorticoid ( more than 80mg/day hydrocortisol) • Dopamine Dubutamine • Octreotide Cause hyperthyroidism : • Contrast medium • Amiodarone
Decrease thyroxine absorption : • PPI CaCo3 sucrafate • Interfere thyroid hormone metabolism : phenobarbital . Phenytoin . Cabamazepine . Rifampin • decrease T3 conversion : • Glucocorticoid (high dose > 100mg/day hydrocortisol) • PTU • Beta adrenergic antagonist
Cause hypothyroidism : • Iodine containing drugs : • Contrast • Amiodarone • Others : • lithium . Interferon . Interleukin-2 . Sunitimab . Imatinib . thalidomide
Iodine induced hypothyroidism High dose and sudden load of iodine can cause hypothyroidism (Wolff-Chaikoff effect) • inhibition thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion • transient and mild hypothyroidism for a few weeks In normal subjects : escape from Wolff-chaikoff effect recovery thyroid function In subjects with autoimmune thyroid disease (especially Hashimoto disease) : impaired escape prolong hypothyroidism
Amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis ( AIT) • Type 1 : Jod-Basedow phenomenon : • Patients with nodular goiter are at increased risk • treatment : antithyroid drugs • Type 2 : painless thyroiditis • Destructive thyroiditis • treatment : steroid
Amiodarone induced hypothyroidism Prevalence : 10% in patient with amiodarone in mean 21 months Patients with underlying autoimmune thyroid disease are at highest risk (due to failure to escape from the Wolff-Chaikoff effect) Check antimicrosomal antibody TSH before amiodarone Euthyroidism should be restored by replacement with thyroid hormone We suggest continuing amiodarone therapy in patients who develop amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism
Physical examination • Palpation of thyroid gland • Enlargement (goiter) ? • Nodule or diffusely enlarged ?
Laboratory examination • Thyroid function • TSH • Free T4 • T3 • Autoantibody • TSH receptor Ab (TRAb) • Antimicrosomal Ab ; Antithyroglobulin Ab
TSH • more sensitivity than free T4 • check TSH to screening • after treatment . free T4 improved faster than TSH ( TSH return to nromal range about 6~8weeks ) • Central hypothyroidism : • Low free T4 • Low or low-normal TSH
Subclinical • Subclinical hyperthyroidism • TSH free T4 normal • Subclinical hypothyroidism • TSH free T4 normal
Thyroid sonography • Thyroid nodule • Benign • Malignancy fine needle aspiration (cytology) • Malignant signs in sonography : • Irregular shape or border • Obvious Hypoechoic • microcalcification • Thyroid size • Parenchyma • adjacant tissure
Thyroid nodule Thyroid cyst
CT scan/MRI • CT scan/MRI : • intrathoracic goiter • lymphadenopathy
Thyroid scan • Tc-99m scan / I-131 scan • hot nodule : uptake • least malignancy risk • hyperfunctional nodule may cause hyperthyroidism • cold nodule : uptake • Malignancy risk 20% Others : • Graves’ disease : diffuse uptake • Subacute thyroiditis : no uptake
Hot nodule Cold nodule
Nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIs) • changes in thyroid function during severe illness • as physiologic protection which prevent excessive tissue catabolism • Very common • = euthyroid sick syndrome • Thyroid function change correlation to severity and time course of underlying illness • Assessment of thyroid function in patients is difficultamong those hospitalized especially in an intensive care unit
Low T3 • Low T3 syndrome • Several mechanisms can contribute to the inhibition of deiodination (D1) and therefore to the low serum T3 concentrations • Inhibition factors : • Endogenous or iatrogenic glucocorticoid • Cytokine • Free fatty acid • High prevalence : 50% in hospitalized patient
Low T4 • T4 Usually keep normal in mild and early stage of illness • T4 became low in severe and advanced stage of illness • prevalence : • 20 % hospitalized patients • 50 % patients in intensive care units
Low free T4 • Free T4 usually normal in patients whose illness is not severe • free T4 become low in severe and advanced stage of illness
Low TSH • Central hypothyroidism developed in chronic stage of illness
