For example, Graves’ diseases causes an inflammation of the thyroid or a tumor on the thyroid. Another case is called goitre, which is a swelling of the neck due to an enlargement of the thyroid gland. Symptoms of thyrotoxicosis include intolerance to heat, weight loss, increased…

life-threatening (Pullen & Embrey, 2013, p. 14). The hypermetabolic state of life-threatening, complicated thyrotoxicosis is also known as thyroid storm (Pullen & Embrey, 2013, p. 14). The most common cause of thyroid storm is an autoimmune disorder called Graves disease (Pullen & Embrey, 2013, p. 14). Other causes of thyroid storm are extreme stress, infections, discontinuation of thyroid medication or improper dosing, treatment with radioactive iodine, toxemia of pregnancy, hypoglycemia,…

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid that commonly affects women more than men. With this disease it builds antibodies that attacks the cells of the thyroid that causes hypothyroidism. Women who are pregnant, people with a family history of diabetes, lupus or an autoimmune disorder or susceptible to Hashimoto disease. There are several signs and…

Graves’Dissease is an autoimmune disorder which affects the Thyroid gland. Normally, the immune system protects the body from infection by identifying and destroying bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful foreign substances…but in autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s own cells and organs. Graves’Dissease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States. Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone…

According to Joseph et al. (2000), perchlorate has been lately identified as a persistent and pervasive contaminant of drinking water substances in some of metropolitan regions. Perchlorate is stable beneath normal atmospheric conditions and particularly soluble in water. When a perchlorate compound is released into the environment, it will dissolve in water, and because of its capability to adsorb directly to surfaces, it will be transported thru bulk movement of water and mixing processes…

Iodine is essential on the new plant and this is why. Iodine is a key component of the hormones made in the thyroid gland. These hormones are absolutely critical to human health, helping to control energy production and utilization in nearly every cell of the body. David Brownstein explains in his books “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It”, how iodine is crucial in a person’s life by saying “My experience has shown that iodine in doses ranging from 6-50mg/day is adequate…

Women especially those older than 60 are more likely to have the disease. The disease rarely causes symptoms in the…

Diganostic criteria for hypothyroidism is based on symptoms and the results of blood tests that measure the level of TSH and the level of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. The high level of TSH and low level of thyroid hormones as known as free T4 level indicate an underactive thyroid hormone or hypothyroidism. When the thyroxine level is low, the pituitary gland produces TSH to stimulate thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone. TSH tests play an important role in managing hypothyroidism.…

Hashimoto’s Disease is a disease where the thyroid is damaged by the person’s immune system. To define it, Hashimoto’s Disease is an “autoimmune lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid gland closely associated with the presence of antithyroid autoantibodies and often resulting in chronic hypothyroidism.”(Brier, 2009) Due to the damages that occur, the thyroid is unable to function properly. My dad was recently diagnosed with this disease. Coping with Hashimoto’s Disease brings many lifestyle…
