euthyroid

The rise did not exceed the normal range, and all patients remained clinically euthyroid.

Depending on several patient variables, however, euthyroid status may not be achieved until 2-4 months after treatment initiation.

However, it appears ineffective in patients who are already euthyroid on anti-thyroid drugs and levothyroxine.

It increases in sick euthyroid syndrome because its clearance decreases while its production stays the same.

After one year postpartum, euthyroid function resumes.

Euthyroid populations demonstrate increased CV risk at clinical doses.

Based on its effectiveness for hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone became a popular treatment for obesity in euthyroid people.

Tg-specific antibodies help in the diagnosis of these diseases, but they also may be present in apparently healthy euthyroid individuals.

Levothyroxine, used to treat hypothyroidism, can also be used in euthyroid patients for the treatment of goitre.

Excessive doses (and regular doses in euthyroid patients) can result in life threatening cardiovascular events.

It is characterized by repeated episodes of lip and eyelid edema and occasionally euthyroid goiter.

One member of the President's large medical team reacted this way to such probing: "Wouldn't you rather have a hyperthyroid Bush than a euthyroid Quayle?"

Also, a prospective intervention trial study showed that treatment of euthyroid antibody positive pregnant women led to fewer rates of miscarriage than non treated controls.

Patients with Graves' disease are more sensitive than euthyroid patients, and iodine has been used to manage Graves' disease.

Thyroid cancer is usually found in a euthyroid patient, but symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may be associated with a large or metastatic well-differentiated tumor.

Serum TSH concentrations remained within the euthyroid range with no patient exhibiting clinical signs or offering complaints suggestive of hypothyroidism.

Some individuals may have an increased rate of anxiety or persistence of affective and cognitive symptoms for several months to up to 10 years after a euthyroid state is established.

Subclinical hyperthyroidism has been reported in 63% of euthyroid Graves' disease., but only in 4% of cases where Graves' disease was in remission.

Many persons will experience complete remission of symptoms 1 to 2 months after a euthyroid state is obtained, with a marked reduction in anxiety, sense of exhaustion, irritability, and depression.

A randomized control trial testing single dose treatment for Graves' found methimazole achieved euthyroid state more effectively after 12 weeks than did propylthyouracil (77.1% on methimazole 15 mg vs 19.4% in the propylthiouracil 150 mg groups).

These researchers found many reports about residual complaints in patients who were euthyroid after treatment, with a high prevalence of anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder, as well as elevated scores on scales of anxiety, depression and psychological distress.

This condition tends to have a phase of hyperthyroidism followed by a return to a euthyroid state, and then a phase of hypothyroidism, followed again by a return to the euthyroid state.

Causes of euthyroid sick syndrome include a number of acute and chronic conditions, including pneumonia, fasting, starvation, sepsis, trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass, malignancy, stress, heart failure, hypothermia, myocardial infarction, chronic renal failure, cirrhosis, and diabetic ketoacidosis.

In rare circumstances, a low TSH indicates primary failure of the pituitary, or temporary inhibition of the pituitary due to another illness (euthyroid sick syndrome) and so checking the T and T is still clinically useful.

Now, I have another patient on the wards--an euthyroid case with entirely different symptoms..." He enlarged upon them for the rest of the journey and Trixie, quite content to listen to his voice, didn't really hear a word of what he was telling her; indeed, she thought it likely that he had forgotten her for the moment.
