Hyperthyroidism is characterised by increased thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion from the thyroid gland, whereas thyrotoxicosis refers to the clinical syndrome of excess circulating thyroid hormones, irrespective of the source.
ICD-10 code E05 for Thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by taking too much thyroid hormone medicine for hypothyroidism. This is called factitious hyperthyroidism. When this occurs because the prescribed dosage of hormone medicine is too high, it is called iatrogenic, or doctor-induced, hyperthyroidism. This is common.
Thyrotoxicosis is a condition in which you have too much thyroid hormone in your body. Your thyroid — the butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck — makes and releases two hormones: triiodothyronine (also called T3) and thyroxine (also called T4). Together, they are referred to as thyroid hormones.
ICD-10 code E05. 90 for Thyrotoxicosis, unspecified without thyrotoxic crisis or storm is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
242.1xThyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If the thyroid nodule occurs with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x.
Summary. Iatrogenic hypothyroidism can be permanent, when induced by treatment leading to permanent thyroid damage, or reversible, when caused by drugs interfering with thyroid function. The incidence of surgical hypothyroidism is mainly influenced by the extent of surgery.
Inadequate secretion of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland due to treatments that include medications (such as amiodarone), radioactive iodine ablation of the gland, or surgical excision of the thyroid. See also: hypothyroidism.
The diagnosis of factitious thyrotoxicosis is based upon the absence of goiter, suppressed serum Tg level, decreased radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake, and excellent response after cholestyramine treatment.
The most common conditions that can lead to thyrotoxicosis are Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis, Plummer disease, and toxic adenoma.
The main cause of thyrotoxicosis is hyperthyroidism, which is an overactivity of the thyroid gland resulting in it producing excess levels of thyroid hormones. If the hyperthyroidism is due to an autoimmune cause, it is called Graves' disease.
It can be primary or secondary: Primary hyperthyroidism is the term used when the pathology is within the thyroid gland. Secondary hyperthyroidism is the term used when the thyroid gland is stimulated by excessive thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the circulation.
For example, serum thyroglobulin levels may be elevated in both type 1 and type 2 AIT. Elevation in type 2 AIT is due to thyroid gland destruction, whereas in type 1, it may simply be due to the goiter, regardless of whether there is hyperthyroidism or autoimmunity (14).
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) develops in 3% of amiodarone-treated patients in North America. AIT is classified as type 1 or type 2. Type 1 AIT occurs in patients with underlying thyroid pathology such as autonomous nodular goiter or Graves’ disease.
Type 1 AIT is treated with a thionamide because it is caused by increased hormonal synthesis (10). Higher than average doses are often required (eg, propylthiouracil 450 mg to 600 mg daily, or methimazole 30 mg to 40 mg daily). The dose is gradually tapered to a low maintenance dose.
In type 2 AIT, the thyrotoxicosis is a destructive thyroiditis that results in excess release of preformed T4 and T3 into the circulation (11). It typically occurs in patients without underlying thyroid disease, and is caused by a direct toxic effect of amiodarone on thyroid follicular cells.
To differentiate between type 1 and type 2 AIT, a careful history and physical examination should be performed to identify pre-existing thyroid disease. An iodine-131 uptake test and CFDS should be performed. Patients with type 2 AIT should receive a trial of glucocorticoids, whereas those with type 1 should receive antithyroid therapy.
The thyrotoxicosis is mediated by amiodarone’s iodine content. In each 200 mg tablet, there is 75 mg of iodine; approximately 10% of the iodine is released as free iodide daily (4). Amiodarone is very lipophilic and accumulates in adipose tissue, cardiac and skeletal muscle, and the thyroid.
A diagnosis of AIT can also be considered at any time in a patient who develops clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis (Table 1) (10). Cardiac manifestations may be absent due to amiodarone’s effect on the heart.
Teach patients the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, and tell them to report them immediately, as well as reporting any shortness of breath, muscle weakness/pain, or visual disturbances to their healthcare provider. Educate patients about drug-drug and drug-food interactions for ami odarone—for example, to avoid grapefruit juice, which can increase the serum concentration of amiodarone and lead to toxicity. 11 Reinforce the importance of not taking any other medications, even over-the-counter medications, without first contacting the healthcare provider. 11 Remind patients to keep their scheduled follow-up appointments, which should occur every 3 to 6 months (or more often if baseline tests show abnormalities). 11
Every 200-mg tablet of amiodarone has about 75 mg of iodine; after metabolism with deiodination, 6 mg becomes free circulating iodine. 9, 11 The sudden increase in circulating iodine interferes with the biosynthesis of T 3 and T 4 and causes AIH. 9.
Clinical signs and symptoms of AIH are the same as with primary hypothyroidism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can vary among patients. A patient with AIH may present with overt symptoms of hypothyroidism or may be asymptomatic with abnormal thyroid function tests. Common signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism are: 1 fatigue 2 weight gain 3 puffy face 4 cold intolerance 5 joint and muscle pain 6 constipation 7 dry skin 8 dry, thinning hair 9 decreased sweating 10 heavy or irregular menstrual periods and impaired fertility 11 depression 12 slowed heart rate
Amiodarone wasn't prescribed at the transfer hospital. A full cardiac workup with a cardiac catheterization was completed, results of which included a 40% stenosis of the left anterior descending artery and a total occlusion of the dominant right coronary artery at its midsegment.
Patients who are taking digoxin in conjunction with amiodarone need to be closely monitored, because after 1 day of concomitant digoxin and amiodarone, the patient's serum digoxin level can be increased 70%. 1 If digoxin therapy can't be discontinued, the dose should be decreased by 50% to avoid toxicity. 1.
Amiodarone is often prescribed for ventricular and atrial dysrhythmias. The signs and symptoms of amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH) can be missed or misdiagnosed in a patient with a complex clinical condition. Here's what you need to know.
