• Causes of goitre
Newborn Screening
THYROID GLAND
Location: Located close to thyroid cartilage. Has two lateral
lobes connected by thyroid isthmus medially.
Development: first endocrine gland to appear during
development. Develops from endodermal floor of early
pharynx
THYROID GLAND
Innervation: Vagus Nerve (X)
Arterial Supply: superior thyroid artery (branch of external carotid
artery).
Functions:
THYROXIN – regulate rate of metabolism
CALCITONIN – decreases levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood
(partially antagonistic to parathyroid hormone).
Production of Thyroid Hormones
NIS (Na+/I- Sympoter)
TPO
t1/2 = 5-7d
t1/2 = < 24 hrs
T4
T3
85% (peripheral conversion)
15%
Protein binding + 0.03% free T4
Protein binding + 0.3% free T3
(10-20x less than T4)
Normal Daily Thyroid Secretion Rate:
T4 = 100 ug/day
T3 = 6 ug/day
( ratio T4:T3 = 14:1 )
T4 T3
Potency 1 10
Protein Bound 10-20 1
Half-Life 5-7d < 24h
Secreted by
thyroid
100 ug/d 6 ug/d
Thyroid Function: blood tests
TSH 0.4 –5.0
mU/L
Free T4 (thyroxine) 9.1 – 23.8
pM
Free T3 (triiodothyronine) 2.23-5.3 pM
Effects of thyroid hormones
• Fetal brain & skeletal maturation
• Increase in basal metabolic rate
• Inotropic & chronotropic effects on heart
• Stimulates gut motility
• Increase bone turnover
• Increase in serum glucose, decrease in
serum cholesterol
• Play role in thermal regulation
Dysfunction Thyroid Gland
1. Too little thyroxin – hypothyroidism
a. short stature (aquiered), developmental delay (congenital)
2. Too much thyroxin – hyperthyroidism
a. Agitation, irritability, & weight loss
Hypothyroidism
• Decreased thyroid hormone levels
• Low T4
• Possibly Low T3 too.
• Raised TSH (unless pituitary problem!)
Causes of hypothyroidism
• Congenital
• Autoimmune (Hashimoto)
• Iodine deficiency
• Subacute thyroiditis
• Drugs (amiodarone)
• Irradiation
• Thyroid surgery
• Central hypothyroidism (radiotherapy, surgery, tumor)
.
Clinical features of Acquired hypothyroidism
• Weight gain
• Goitre
• Short sature
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Dry skin
• Cold Intolerance
• Hoarseness
• Sinus Bradycardia
.
Hypothyroidism with short stature
Diagnosis
• High TSH, low T4
• Thyroid antibodies
.
Hashimoto’s Disease
• Most common cause of hypothyroidism
• Autoimmune lymphocytic thyroiditis
• Antithyroid antibodies:
• Thyroglobulin Ab
• Microsomal Ab
• TSH-R Ab (block)
• Females > Males
• Runs in Families!
Subacute (de Quervain’s) Thyroiditis
• Preceding viral infection
• Infiltration of the gland with granulomas
• Painful goitre
• Hyperthyroid phase  Hypothyroid phase
Treatment of Hypothyroidism
• Replacement thyroid hormone medication: Thyroxine
Congenital Hypothyroidism: Causes
• Agenesis or dysgenesis of thyroid gland
• Dyshormonogenesis
• Ectopic gland
• Maternal hypothyroidism

Newborn Screening
Congenital Hypothyroid
Screening started 1974 in Quebec & Pittsburgh
Objective : Eradication of MR secondary to CH
Incidence 1:3000 – 4000 ( more than PKU )
Female : Male is 2 : 1
Newborn Screening
Congenital Hypothyroidism
 One of the most common Treatable causes of MR
 CH Screening is the most cost effective program
Almost all affected NB have no S/S at birth
Congenital Anomalies increased by 10%(cardiac)
 In more than 90% of the cases it is permanent
 The earlier dx the better IQ
Newborn Screening
Newborn Screening Criteria
Wilson Criteria
 Incidence >1/100,000
 Significant morbidity/mortality
 Successful treatment
 Reasonable cost
 Test: specific/sensitive/acceptable
Congenital hypothyroidism
 1/3,000 to 1/4,000
 Mental retardation
 Thyroxine
 $3.00

Grave’s ophthalmopathy
Hyperthyroid Eye Disease
investigations
• TSH, free T3&T4
• Thyroid antibodies (TSH receptors antibodies)
• Radionucleotide thyroid scan (incease uptake)
.
Hyperthyroidism
• Treatment
– Beta-blockers
– Carbimazole
– PTU (propylthiouracil)
