Primary Causes of Hypothyroidism:
The Thyroid glad is the problem. The Thyroid is not producing hormones (most important is T3 and T4) regardless of the anterior pituitary gland telling it to do so ( Via releasing of TSH-Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). Lab values in this situation would show elevated TSH and low T3 and T4 values.

Conditions that would affect the Thyroid gland include:
-Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune disease)
-Iodine insufficiency
-Adverse effects from treatments for hyperthyroidism

Secondary Causes of Hypothyroidism:
The problem is with the Pituitary gland (Hypopituitarism). The Hypothalamus would release TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to produce TSH, but pituitary gland will not do so. Common causes include:
-Tumours
-Infection

Heart: Reduced levels of beta adrenergic receptor sensitivity. Decreasing inotropic and chronotropic actions. Reduced vascular motor tone.
-Bradycardia
-Hypotension

GI: Reduced GI motility and secretions
-Constipation

Skin: Reduced blood flow
-Dry skin
-Hair lost
-Brittle nails

Metabolism: Reduced T3 and T4 -> decrease metabolism (Glycolysis, Lipolysis, Glycogenolysis)
-Weight gain
-Fatigue]]> 2021-09-30 09:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1780778028 Grave's Disease wmcelroy3 https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783357778 Grave's disease is an autoimmune disorder which is a common cause of hyperthyroidism. ]]> 2021-10-01 05:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783357778 Thyroid Storm wmcelroy3 https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783411891 Also called thyrotoxic crisis, is the body experiencing an excessive release of thyroid hormones. (Misra)]]> 2021-10-01 05:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783411891 What does it do? wmcelroy3 https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783439444 Releases hormones Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4)

The thyroid uses iodine from the food we eat to make these hormones. (Brady)

These hormones regulate metabolism, from digestion to heart rate. So more T3 and T4 in the bloodstream, metabolism speeds up. Less of these hormones, metabolism slows down.

The pituitary gland manages the thyroid production (via hormone TSH) of T3 and T4.

Thyroid disorders can be caused by disease, cancer, diet and abnormal growth (to name a few).

These disorders will disturb the balance of these thyroid hormone levels in the body

The thyroid also makes calcitonin which helps to regulate the calcium levels in the body.]]> 2021-10-01 06:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wmcelroy3/lol9kmmxwof93l40/wish/1783439444 What is a prehospital treatment for thyroid storm?
