Hyperthyroidism is a condition that results from excessive production of thyroid hormones. One of the most common causes of this is an autoimmune disease called Graves’ disease. If a patient has…

an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are an important part of life. They involve the CNS system, cardiovascular system, reproductive system, appropriate growth/development, and metabolism. According to Agrawal (2015), “Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder in childhood and is also one of the most preventable causes of mental retardation.” This disorder is difficult to diagnose because these hormones pass from the mother through…

Turner syndrome, also known as TS and gonadal dysgenesis, is a chromosomal deficiency affecting over two million women that occur when two of the X chromosomes in a female’s DNA are either incomplete or missing entirely. It usually becomes apparent when a female is only a few years old, or even shortly following her birth.

In hypothyroidism, a person’s thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone. The opposite is true for hyperthyroidism where the body produces too much thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is not gender specific. Hypothyroidism can affect infants, teens and adults. Although, most people learn they have hypothyroidism when they are…

Introduction Graves' disease, or toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disease where too much activity of the thyroid gland causes an overproduction of thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4. The disease is known for resulting in hyperthyroidism (an over active thyroid) which causes an enlarged thyroid and eye problems among other things. A large amount of different conditions and effectors can cause hyperthyroidism, but Graves' disease has shown to be one of the two most common. The disease can…

Hyperpituitarism Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder in both males and females where your pituitary gland has either failed to produce one or more of its hormones or isn’t producing enough.

While this is here it is secreting hormones that affect almost every part of your body. Hypopituitarism is essentially another word for the pituitary gland not being active…
