Objectives To understand basic thyroid axis physiology To know the common causes of hypo and hyperthyroidism To recognise the signs and symptoms associated with hypo and hyperthyroidism To understand TFT interpretation To know the management for hypo and hyperthyroidism Important complications associated with these Thyroid cancers
Slide 3-

Thyroid Physiology
Slide 4-

Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis
Slide 5-

Thyroid hormone synthesis, metabolism and action Iodine enters thyroid gland and is used for T3 and T4 production Hormones are released from the thyroid and vast majority are protein bound (TBG) and deposited in peripheral cells T4 has 4 iodine atoms, removal of one produces T3 Total= Bound to TBG Free= Unbound
Slide 6-

T3 & T4 TSH Facilitate normal growth and development Increase metabolism Increase catecholamine effects Most useful marker of thyroid hormone function Released in a pulsatile diurnal rhythm- highest at night
Slide 7-

Hypothyroidism Insufficient thyroid hormone Primary: thyroid gland failure Secondary: pituitary gland failure Tertiary: hypothalamus failure
Slide 8-

Hypothyroidism Causes Primary hypothyroidism Iodine deficiency- most common cause worldwide Congenital Autoimmune mediated Hashimoto’s thyroiditis- B lymphocytes invade thyroid Iatrogenic- post-thyroidectomy or radio-iodine treatment Drug-induced – Anti-thyroid, lithium, amiodarone Severe infection Trauma to thyroid/pituitary/hypothalamus Pituitary tumour

Hyperthyroidism Causes Hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis) is excess thyroid hormone Autoimmune Graves Disease (76%) F>M, age 20-40 IgG auto antibodies bind TSH receptors T3 & T4 Leads to gland hyper function Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goitre Viral Thyroiditis (de Quervain’s) Fever and ESR- self limiting Exogenous Iodine Neonatal thyrotoxicosis Drugs- Amiodarone TSH secreting pituitary adenoma (rare) HCG producing tumour

Hyperthyroidism – Eye Disease Associated with Graves’ disease Inflammation of retro-orbital tissues Optic nerve compression atrophy Symptoms Eye discomfort, grittiness Excess tear production Photophobia Diplopia Decreased acuity Signs Exopthalmos- Graves Proptosis Opthalmoplegia Oedema
Slide 19-

Investigating Thyroid Disease TSH- first thing you assess Normal range 0.5-5 U/ml Supressed= Hyperthyroid Elevated= Hypothyroid If TSH abnormal request Free T4 Elevated= Hyperthyroid Suppressed= Hypothyroid
Slide 20-

Investigations – TFTs TSH T3, T4 - - + + T3, T4 + + TSH - - TSH T3, T4
Slide 21-

Investigations – Other tests Bloods Thyroid auto-antibodies Anti thyroid peroxidase antibodies TSH receptor antibodies – Graves’ disease USS Thyroid- can detect nodules >3mm FNAC Isotope scan CXR- retrosternal expansion or tracheal compression
Slide 22-

Hypothyroidism - Management Conservative Lifestyle - smoking cessation, weight loss Medical Levothyroxine (T4) Repeat TSH in 6/52 Adjust dose according to clinical response and normalisation of TSH Caution in patients with IHD- risk of exacerbation of MI Clinical improvement may not begin for 2/52 Symptom resolution 6/12 if not consider +T3 Surgical Symptomatic – carpal tunnel decompression, thyroidectomy if compression of local structures
Slide 23-

Hyperthyroidism - Management Conservative Smoking cessation – especially with Graves’s ophthalmology, associated with worse prognosis Medical Symptomatic – β-blockers Carbimazole, propylthiouracil (50% relapse) Risk of agranulocytosis Radio-iodine treatment –avoid contact with pregnant women and small children Long term likely to become hypothyroid
Slide 24-

Hyperthyroidism - Management Surgical Subtotal/total thyroidectomy Orbital decompression if thyroid eye disease causing compression of optic nerve Complications of thyroid surgery Immediate Haemorrhage Short term Infection Long term Damage to laryngeal nerve Hypothyroidism Transient hypocalcaemia Hypoparathyroidism
Slide 25-

Complications of Thyroid Disease
Slide 26-

Myxoedema Severe hypothyroidism (TSH T4 ) Accumulation of mucopolysaccaride in subcutaneous tissues Presents with Hyponatraemia Hypoglycaemia Hypotension Hypothermia Coma Confusion HF Anaemia HIGH MORTALITY
Slide 27-

Thyroid Storm Life threatening emergency (rare) – 30% mortality even with early recognition and management Exacerbation of thyrotoxicosis precipitated by stress i.e. Surgery Infection Trauma Signs Fever Agitation and confusion Tachycardia +/- AF
Slide 28-

Thyroid Cancers
Slide 29-

Investigating Thyroid cancers Serum calcitonin & CEA in Medullary cancer Radioactive iodine scan Ultrasound FNA CT scan- detects metastases MRI and PET scans- distant metastases Treatment: Total thyroidectomy & wide LN clearance RAI ablation for papillary & follicular
Slide 30-

Further topics to cover Thyroid Anatomy Cellular structure and function Blood supply Thyroid physiology Production of T3 and T4 in thyroid follicles Transport of T3 and T4 (protein binding) Peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 Further TFT results and their significance Differentials for lumps in the neck Impact of Amiodarone on the thyroid – complex, can cause both hypo and hyperthyroidism Details of thyroid malignancy Management of thyroid disease in pregnancy
