Hyperthyroidism

How are you Steemians? Hope you all are well I'm good too by the grace of ALLAH ALMIGHTY. My name is Jia. I am on Steemit as @jiya99. I'm becoming a physiotherapist I have completed my half degree.

We know that there is a thyroid gland in our neck that secrete hormones. There are three main hormones t3 t4 and TSH when t3 and t4 hormones are increased TSH is decreased. They are inversely proportional to each other.

Goiter occurs due to hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism means when there's an increased level of hormones T3 and T4. In goiter, there is also a deficiency of iodine. So we give the patient thyroxin. Other there is the treatment of iodine 131 bombardment.

There's also a condition of hyperthyroidism that is thyroid storm. It also occurs when there is an increase in t3 t4 level and TSH is decreased. The difference is it is the most dangerous phase of hyperthyroidism that should be immediately treated.

Its treatment is different if thyroid storm occurs along with liver toxicity that may be hepatitis c or liver inflammation then we prescribe the patient propanolol along with PTU

If the patient of thyroid storm has diabetes then we prescribe the patient a calcium channel blocker which is verapamil we can't give the patient propanolol because it is contraindicated in diabetic patients.

And if the patient has thyroid storm along with diabetes there is also liver toxicity. Moreover, if the patient has asthma also then in all these conditions the safest medicine is adenolol which is a beta-1 selective blocker. We can't give the patient the calcium channel blocker because in liver toxicity it is contraindicated.

Other than medications we can do surgery in which when there's an enlargement of the thyroid gland we can remove the protrusion of the thyroid gland

The other is Iodine 131 bombardment in which there is bombardment of beta rays on excessive tissue of thyroid gland.
