The document discusses hypo and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, with the most common cause being Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid that produces too much of the hormone thyroxine, accelerating metabolism and potentially causing unintended weight loss and irregular heartbeat. Hypothyroidism is usually treated with daily levothyroxine hormone replacement tablets, while hyperthyroidism can be treated with radioactive iodine or surgery to target the thyroid cells.

Thyroid diseases
Thyroid disease affects the thyroid gland located in the neck. The main types are hypothyroidism (low hormone levels), hyperthyroidism (high levels), goiter (enlargement), and tumors. Symptoms depend on hormone levels and include fatigue, weight changes, mood issues, and heart problems. The thyroid regulates hormone production through a feedback loop with TSH from the pituitary gland. Autoimmune diseases and iodine deficiency can disrupt this system leading to too much or too little hormone production. Diagnosis involves blood tests, ultrasound, and scans. Treatment options include medication, iodine supplements, radiation therapy, or surgery.
Hyperhypothyrodism 180220142907-1678
Hyperthyroidism refers to excessive secretion of thyroid hormones due to overactivity of the thyroid gland. Common causes include Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, and toxic adenoma. Symptoms include nervousness, palpitations, heat intolerance, weight loss, and tremors. Diagnosis involves blood tests to measure thyroid hormones and TSH levels. Treatment options include anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery. Hypothyroidism is underactivity of the thyroid gland resulting in low thyroid hormone levels and symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin and constipation. Primary causes are autoimmune disease and treatment for hyperthyroidism. Treatment is thyroid hormone replacement medication.
thyroid and parathyroid disorders
Hyperthyroidism refers to overactivity of the thyroid gland resulting in excessive secretion of thyroid hormones throughout the body. Some common causes include Graves' disease, toxic adenomas, and thyroiditis. Symptoms include nervousness, palpitations, heat intolerance, tremor, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves tests of thyroid and pituitary hormones. Treatment options are radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid gland, anti-thyroid medications, beta-blockers to control symptoms, or surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid. Nursing care focuses on managing nutrition, activity tolerance, risk of injury from eye involvement, and hyperthermia due to the increased metabolic rate.

Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, resulting in a slow metabolism. Some common causes include Hashimoto's disease, surgical or radiation treatment of the thyroid, and certain medications. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, constipation, dry skin, slowed heart rate, and depression. It is diagnosed based on elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and low free thyroxine (T4) levels. Treatment involves replacing the missing thyroid hormones with levothyroxine medication.
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a health condition that occurs when the thyroid gland produces extremely less amounts of thyroid hormone.
Thyroid diseases BY DR ARUN KUMAR
This document discusses thyroid diseases and their pathophysiology. It begins by introducing the endocrine system and thyroid gland. There are four main types of thyroid diseases: hypothyroidism (low function), hyperthyroidism (high function), structural abnormalities like goiter, and tumors. Hypothyroidism is caused by not enough thyroid hormones and results in tiredness and weight gain. Hyperthyroidism is caused by too much thyroid hormone and causes difficulty sleeping, weight loss, and fast heart rate. Goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland which can be caused by the body trying to stimulate more thyroid hormone production. The pathophysiology of the different thyroid diseases is explained in more detail. Diagnosis involves blood tests, ultrasound

Endocrine.pptx Organs/Glands in Endocrine System
The endocrine system is comprised of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate distant organs. The major glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Hormones control important bodily functions like growth, metabolism, mood, and reproduction. Each gland produces specific hormones, such as insulin from the pancreas which regulates blood sugar, and the thyroid which produces hormones to control metabolism. Disorders can result if the glands produce too much or too little of their hormones.
Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Para/Thyroid
The document discusses several endocrine glands and their functions. It describes the hypothalamus as regulating the pituitary gland and controlling homeostasis. It then explains the functions of the anterior and posterior pituitary glands, listing the six hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary.

HOW TO CURE HYPOTHYROIDISM
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. It most commonly affects women between 35-60 years old. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and depression. It is often caused by an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's thyroiditis where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Treatment involves taking thyroid hormone replacement medications. However, many people are treating their hypothyroidism with options that are actually causing more harm. A proper diagnosis and treatment plan focused on the root cause is needed for effective management of the condition.
Thyroid diseases
This document discusses thyroid diseases and their treatment. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and other bodily functions. Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient thyroid hormone production and results in slowed functions and weight gain. It is treated with levothyroxine replacement therapy. Hyperthyroidism is caused by excessive thyroid hormone production and results in increased metabolism and weight loss. Its treatment aims to decrease thyroid hormone synthesis through surgery, medication, or blocking hormone release. Patients require counseling on medication adherence and lifestyle changes.
COMPILED-POWERPOINT-GROUP-01-Peptide-Hormones-and-the-Endocrine-System.pptx
The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones which regulate processes throughout the body. The pituitary gland and thyroid gland are important endocrine glands. The pituitary gland has an anterior and posterior lobe; the posterior lobe produces vasopressin and oxytocin which regulate water balance and labor. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and uses iodine to produce important hormones like thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Hormone replacement therapies exist for treating hypo- and hyperactive endocrine glands like the thyroid, and involve replacing missing hormones or reducing overactive hormone levels.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that is a common cause of hypothyroidism.
In Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the body mounts an immune reaction against its own thyroid gland tissue, leading to inflammation of the gland (thyroiditis).
Thyroid gland is an endocrine gland. It secretes triiodothyronine (T3) and its prohormone, thyroxine (T4).
These hormones act on the basic metabolic rate, protein synthesis etc.
hashimotosthyroiditis-170825171347.pdf
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland. It causes inflammation of the thyroid and is a common cause of hypothyroidism. Symptoms resemble those of hypothyroidism and include fatigue, weight gain, and dry skin. The condition is diagnosed through blood tests showing high thyroid stimulating hormone and the presence of antibodies against thyroid proteins. Treatment involves lifelong thyroid hormone replacement medication.
Thyroid drugs and anti thyroid drugs
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. Drugs used to treat it include propylthiouracil and methimazole which reduce thyroid hormone production. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine to restore normal thyroid hormone levels. Radioactive iodine is also used to destroy thyroid tissue in conditions like hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.
Exocrine gland and endocrine gland
The thyroid gland is located in the neck below the larynx. It secretes thyroid hormones like thyroxine and triiodothyronine which regulate metabolism. The thyroid can develop several conditions like goiter, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and cancer. Treatment depends on the condition but may include surgery, medication, radiation, or thyroid hormone replacement pills.
