Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Disease Introduction Has a medical professional diagnosed you with Hashimoto’s disease? Or has a doctor given a Hashimoto’s disease diagnosis to someone close to you, perhaps in your family? You must be wondering how this could happen. What will you need to do now? How will this affect your day-to-day life? What happens next? What does the future likely hold for you or your loved one? You may not have known this before you got news of your condition, but Hashimoto’s disease

Depth Case Study Pathological Disorder Hyperthyroidism Historical information Hyperthyroidism is a disorder also referred to as an overactive thyroid. This is a condition where the thyroid develops a growth and produces excess amounts of triiodothyronine and other thyroid hormones. The disorder occurs when the elevated serum amounts of T3 and T4 enters the glands. This is one of the most common forms of hyperthyroidism. The major causes of hyperthyroidism are an excess secretion of thyroid hormones

We report the case of a 46 year old caucasian woman with CED bearing the mutation R218H at exon 4 of the TGFB1 gene, located on chromosome 19q13.2. Although her symptoms started in early infancy, the diagnosis was only established at age 24. No significant previous antecedent was known. She presented with recurrent bone pain and polyarthralgia, involving mainly hip, knee and tibiotarsal articulations, with mechanical rhythm and progressive functional disability. Radiologically she presented diffuse

them could be prevented and treated. The diseases that will be discussed further are: Hashimoto’s disease, high blood cholesterol, and brain diseases such as an aneurysm a stroke. Hashimoto’s disease or also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is directly correlated to the thyroid gland: meaning that it is autoimmune deficiency disease. The thyroid is apart of the endocrine system

Having too much or too little of the thyroid hormone is known as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, abnormal thyroid growth, nodules or lumps within the thyroid gland, and thyroid cancer. One of the most common thyroid diseases out there is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or better known as hypothyroidism. This sort of disease affects both genders and all ages, but it is highly more common in women and women over the age of 60. Hypothyroidism is the condition of not being able to produce enough thyroid hormones

Abstract: The butterfly-shaped gland in your neck is known as the thyroid gland. This particular gland is responsible for releasing hormones that regulates metabolism in the body. Cells from all over the body rely on the thyroid to regulate their metabolism as well. Dysfunctions if the thyroid gland can cause many problems to the body. Many diseases can arise from overproduction or underproduction of the main thyroid hormones, including cancer. However, modern day research and medicine has proven

The thyroid may be very small and seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it plays a very important role in the function of the body. The thyroid gland takes iodine (which is found in many foods) and it converts it into thyroid hormones. These hormones are thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine. Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are two conditions that stem from the thyroid malfunctioning. This paper will go into

There are many different types of thyroid diseases. The two I would like to discuss are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. These two thyroid diseases have a few similarities and many differences. Hyperthyroidism is known as an overactive thyroid which occurs when the thyroid gland overproduces thyroid hormones causing the body’s natural functions to accelerate (University Michigan, N.D.). On the contrary, hypothyroidism is known as an underactive thyroid which occurs when the thyroid gland is

This used to be true as well for developed countries, but today this is a less common cause as iodine usually finds its way into our diets without too much trouble. In modern-day developed countries, hypothyroidism is mainly a result of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a birth defect which lacks a thyroid gland or a deficiency of hormones from either the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland.

is a sign of fatty acid and vitamin A deficiency due to gluten intolerance. 3. Consuming gluten products results in tiredness and fatigue since you are gluten intolerant. 4. Many autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Psoriasis, Ulcerative colitis and Multiple sclerosis can be the result of gluten intolerance. 5. Dizziness and other neurologic symptoms are often caused by the consumption of gluten because the person is gluten intolerant. 6. Infertility
