HypothyroidismPlease see our separate tutorial on Hyperthyroidism.General pathophysiology of thyroid hormone.GoiterGoiter Enlarged thyroid gland. Goiter may be a sign of hyper- or hypothyroidism, or may occur in the absence of thyroid hormone disorders.Smooth/diffuse goiter The thyroid gland is more or less uniformly enlarged (we show the normal thyroid gland size with a dotted line):Nodules These are specific areas of the thyroid gland that are hypertrophic/hyperplastic.Euthyroid sick syndrome Occurs when thyroid hormone levels are reduced in the presence of systemic illness; generally we treat the underlying illness rather than focus on the hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism: Clinical ManifestationHypothyroidism Characterized by low levels of T3 and T4. Hypometabolic state Decreased basal metabolic rate with weight gain but reduced appetite.Goiter can develop. Skin, face, and hair changes: Cold intolerance with reduced sweating and cool, dry, flaky skin; cutaneous changes are due to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the skin. Hair loss is common. Non-pitting edema, most notable in the extremities, is due to water retention and the deposition of hyaluronic acid. Puffy face and eyelids.Neuropsychiatric and neuromuscular changes: Patients often experience some degree of depression, with slower speech and mental functioning, which may present as mild confusion. Patients are often fatigued and feel lethargic, with slower reflexes. Proximal myalgia is more likely associated with elevated levels of creatine kinase, unlike the myalgia in hyperthyroidism. Carpal tunnel syndrome and other entrapment disorders can result from fluid retention and swelling around the tissues. Cardiovascular effects: Cardiovascular effects are opposite those in hyperthyroidism: bradycardia and reduced cardiac output. Patients may be hypertensive, though, because peripheral resistance is increased due to changes in the vasculature. Ventilatory effects: Ventilatory responses are also reduced....
