| Summary: |
Thyrotoxicosis is the inappropriately high action of thyroid hormones, it is frequently the result of hyperthyroidism, but there are other conditions that can cause it, such as: acute suppurative thyroiditis, factitious thyrotoxicosis, subacute thyroiditis, among others. The methodology used for this research work is part of a bibliographic review of documentary type, since we are going to deal with issues raised at a theoretical level such as hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis. The technique for data collection is made up of electronic materials, the latter such as Google Scholar, PubMed, among others, relying on the use of descriptors in health sciences or MESH terminology. The information obtained here will be reviewed for further analysis. Thyrotoxicosis has a quality that may or may not be associated with the thyroid gland, since it can be a consequence of other disorders such as: acute suppurative thyroiditis, factitious thyrotoxicosis, subacute thyroiditis, among others. However, it can be said that it is a form of hyperthyroidism, but more accelerated, since it occurs as a consequence of elevated thyroid
hormones T3 and T4, within the clinic that can be presented to people who suffer from it, this is very varied. because it can generate bone, skin, digestive, muscle symptoms, among others. Its diagnosis can be confirmed by laboratory studies that show high levels of free T4 and free T3 in peripheral blood, combined with physical examination and the symptoms presented by the patient, in terms of treatment, it is managed as hyperthyroidism and the degree of disease progression that will determine whether pharmacological, radioiodine or surgical treatment is used. |
