Hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) is a common endocrine and metabolic disease. Hyperthyroidism can also be divided into many different types, such as pituitary hyperthyroidism, diffuse goiter with hyperthyroidism, toxic thyroid tumors, etc. When talking about hyperthyroidism, it is easy for us to associate hyperthyroidism itself with symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overeating, weight loss, irritability, excitement, etc.), but there is a type of hyperthyroidism that has very extreme symptoms, and even has no obvious symptoms at the time of onset - That is toxic diffuse goiter hyperthyroidism (graves' disease) , which also has two extreme cases
toxic diffuse goiter is an extremely common cause of hyperthyroidism
thyroid enlargement, thyroid overactive thyroid, hyperthyroidism Exophthalmos and pretibial myxedema are its main features. Toxic diffuse goiter-type hyperthyroidism also has two extreme cases:
1, which appears in the form of extremely mild disease and no symptoms. How to identify? This condition can generally be detected with routine serum testing of thyroid function, with low levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone suggesting this condition.
2, will also appear in the form of " hyperthyroid crisis " that is serious enough to threaten the patient's life. Hyperthyroidism crisis refers to patients experiencing severe symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, high fever, delirium, coma, etc. The mortality rate is very high and emergency treatment is required.
To deal with toxic diffuse goiter-type hyperthyroidism, genetic, environmental and other factors should be considered comprehensively. This type of hyperthyroidism is very harmful and has the characteristics of rapid onset, so it must be discovered and treated promptly.
