Thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism • Thyrotoxicosis: – the state of thyroid hormone excess – not synonymous with hyperthyroidism
• Hyperthyroidism: – the result of excessive synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid.
• Major etiologies of thyrotoxicosis are hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease, toxic MNG, and toxic adenomas. – Graves’ disease (50-80%) is the major etiology. 2

• Unexplained weight loss due to the increased metabolic rate. • Apathetic thyrotoxicosis and atrial fibrillation are more common in the elderly. – Patients with apathetic thyrotoxicosis may present mainly with fatigue and weight loss.
• Hair texture may become fine, and a diffuse alopecia occurs in up to 40% of patients, persisting for months after restoration of euthyroidism. • The direct effect of thyroid hormones on bone resorption leads to osteopenia in long standing thyrotoxicosis. • Mild hypercalcemia occurs in up to 20% of patients, but hypercalciuria is more common.

TREATMENT CHOICE OF HYPERTHYROIDISM 21
Treatment of hyperthyroidism Medicine: Anti-thyroid drugs (thionamides) – For most of patients ( Preparation before surgery; adjuvant for radioiodine therapy (before or after); mild disease, small goiter) Surgery: near-total or total thyroidectomy – For huge goiter, refractory disease and sight threatening GO Radioiodine (I131) therapy – Second choice for ablation without complication of surgery – Avoid in active GO patients Plasmapheresis – Thyroid storm
22
Antithyroid drug (ATD) •
•
•
Thionamides: – Propylthiouracil (PTU) • block peripheral T4 to T3 conversion • Rare cases: hepatitis (0.1-0.2%), agranulocytosis(0.1-0.5%) • t1/2: 1.5hrs – Carbimazole (CMZ) • 10mg CMZ → metabolized to 6 mg MMI – methimazole (MMI) • First choice, t1/2: 6 hrs • 20-30mg/d → 5 -10mg/d for maintenance Mechanism: – inhibit the function of TPO – reduce oxidation and organification of iodide – reduce thyroid antibody, immunosuppression – enhance remission rate Treatment course: 6-24 months 23
Other immunosuppressive effects: Anti-TSH receptor Ab decrease with time Decrease cytokine (intracellular adhesion molecule 1, IL-2, IL-6 receptor) Induce apoptosis of intrathyroidal lymphocytes Decrease HLA class II expression Increase circulating suppressor T cells Decrease helper T cells, natural killer cells, and activated intrathyroidal T cells
24
Methimazole should be used in virtually every patient who chooses antithyroid drug therapy for GD, except during the first trimester of pregnancy when propylthiouracil is preferred, in the treatment of thyroid storm, and in patients with minor reactions to methimazole who refuse radioactive iodine therapy or surgery.

THYROID STORM
46
Introduction of thyroid storm • A rare, life-threatening condition characterized by severe clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis – (未處理的患者死亡率將近100%, 即使經處理的患者死 亡率亦有20-30%) • In a national survey from Japan, the incidence of thyroid storm in hospitalized patients was 0.20 per 100,000 per year • Thyroid storm can develop in patients with: – long-standing untreated hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, solitary toxic adenoma) – it is often precipitated by an acute event such as thyroid or nonthyroidal surgery, trauma, infection, an acute iodine load, or parturition 47
• It is unclear why certain factors result in the development of thyroid storm. – Hypotheses include a rapid rate of increase in serum thyroid hormone levels – increased responsiveness to catecholamines – enhanced cellular responses to thyroid hormone. – The degree of thyroid hormone excess varies for each case • Diagnosis of thyroid storm is based on point scale system ( clinical diagnosis )

SUBCLINICAL (MILD) HYPERTHYROIDISM 51
• Subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined biochemically by a low serum TSH (<0.5 mU/mL) concentration but normal serum free T4 and T3 concentrations. • Patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism typically have few or no symptoms of hyperthyroidism. • The common causes of subclinical hyperthyroidism – Treatment with T4 (exogenous) – Graves disease, autonomous functioning thyroid adenoma, and toxic multinodular goiter (endogenous)
• Subclinical hyperthyroidism is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and, primarily in postmenopausal women, a decrease in bone mineral density. • Patients receiving thyroid replacement therapy for the treatment of hypothyroidism and who have TSH concentrations below normal should have their dose adjusted to maintain a normal serum TSH concentration (approximately 0.5 to 5.0 mU/L). 52

HYPERTHYROIDISM LABORATORY EVALUATION 54
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 19th Edition Textbook 55
• In Graves’ disease, the TSH level is suppressed, and total and unbound thyroid hormone levels are increased. • 2-5% of patients (and more in areas of borderline iodine intake), only T3 is increased (T3 toxicosis). • Measurement of TPO antibodies or TRAb may be useful if the diagnosis is unclear clinically but is not needed routinely.

Primary Hypothyroidism
The prevalence of overt hypothyroidism is approximately 1% to 2% in women and 0.1% in men, whereas subclinical hypothyroidism has been identified in 4% to 10% of different population groups and in up to 18% of elderly persons. Progression from subclinical to overt hypothyroidism occurs in 5% to 18% of persons with subclinical hypothyroidism per year. 63
Secondary Hypothyroidism
The most common causes of central hypothyroidism in adults are tumors, inflammatory conditions, infiltrative diseases, infections, pituitary surgery, pituitary radiation therapy, and head trauma.
64
Autoimmune Hypothyroidism (I) • • • •
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or goitrous thyroiditis Atrophic thyroiditis at the later stages Subclinical hypothyroidism Clinical hypothyroidism or overt hypothyroidism (TSH > 10 mIU/L) • Prevalence: 1. The annual incidence of autoimmune hypothyroidism is around 80 per 100,000 men and 350 per 100,000 women. 2. All ages may be affected, although the average age of onset is between 40 and 60 years old. Prevalence increased with age. 3. Subclinical hypothyroidism: 6-8 % of women (10% over the age of 60), annual risk of progression to overt hypothyroidism is 4 %.
65
Autoimmune Hypothyroidism (II) â&#x20AC;˘ Pathogenesis: 1.
thyroid with lymphocytic infiltration (activated CD4+, CD8+ T cells and B cells), germinal center formation, atrophic follicles with oxyphil metaplasia, absence of colloid, fibrosis
2.
thyroid destruction by T-cell mediated cytotoxic reaction; CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and cytokines (TNFÎą, IL-1, interferon render thyroid cells more susceptible to apoptosis mediated by death receptors (Fas).
3.
combination of genetic and environmental risk factors: documented risk of HLADR3, 4,5 polymorphism in Caucasians, weak correlation to polymorphism in CTLA-4 (T cell-regulatory gene) and high iodine intake
4.
20% with TSH-R Ab to block binding of TSH (TSH-R blocking Ab) cause hypothyroidism and atrophy, esp in Asian.
66
67
Treatment of Hypothyroidism Patients who have serum TSH levels higher than 10 mU/L should be strongly considered for L-T4 treatment. Overt hypothyroidism: average LT4 replacement dose in adults is 1.6 µg/kg per day and that lean body mass is a better predictor of thyroid hormone requirements than total body weight. Overt hypothyroidism (patient older than 60 years) should be treated with an initial LT4 dose of 25 to 50 µg/d and dose increases in 12.5- to 25-µg increments every 6 to 8 weeks until the desired dose is reached. Subclinical hypothyroidism: serum TSH levels of 5 to 10 mU/L should also be considered for LT4 treatment if they have symptoms suggestive of thyroid hormone deficiency: such as elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, goiters, or positive antithyroid antibodies. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism can be effectively treated with initial LT4 doses of 25 to 50 µg/d and subsequent daily dose increments of 25 µg until the desired TSH goal is reached.

THYROID FUNCTION TEST
74
Thyroid function test • Hyperthyroidism: TSH < 0.1 uU/mL (0.1 mU/L) and elevated FT4D or FT4I • Subclinical hyperthyroidism Normal FT4D or FT4I; but slightly suppressed TSH • Hypothyroidism: TSH > 10 uU/mL (mU/L) and low FT4D or FT4I • Subclinical hypothyroidism: Normal FT4D or FT4I; but slightly high TSH
75
Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 13th edition
Total form vs free form of thyroid hormone •
T4 TESTS: T4 circulates in the blood in two forms: – –
•
(1) T4 bound to proteins that prevent the T4 from entering the various tissues that need thyroid hormone. (2) Free T4, which does enter the various target tissues to exert its effects. The free T4 fraction is the most important to determine how the thyroid is functioning, and tests to measure this are called the Free T4 (FT4) and the Free T4 Index (FT4I or FTI). Individuals who have hyperthyroidism will have an elevated FT4 or FTI, whereas patients with hypothyroidism will have a low level of FT4 or FTI.
T3 TESTS – – – – –
T3 tests are often useful to diagnosis hyperthyroidism or to determine the severity of the hyperthyroidism. Patients who are hyperthyroid will have an elevated T3 level. In some individuals with a low TSH, only the T3 is elevated and the FT4 or FTI is normal. T3 testing rarely is helpful in the hypothyroid patient, since it is the last test to become abnormal. Patients can be severely hypothyroid with a high TSH and low FT4 or FTI, but have a normal T3. In some situations, such as during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills, high levels of total T4 and T3 can exist. This is because the estrogens increase the level of the binding proteins. In these situations, it is better to ask both for TSH and free T4 for thyroid evaluation.
76
The major iodothyronines are poorly soluble in water and thus bind reversibly to plasma proteins. The plasma proteins with which T4 is mainly associated are TBG and transthyretin (TTR; formerly termed T4-binding prealbumin [TBPA]) and albumin About 75% to 80% of T3 is bound by TBG and the remainder by TTR and albumin.
