Graves Disease Taylor Dobbs

Graves Disease The most common form of hyperthyroidism When the immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland and causes it to overproduce thyroxine Usually develops in women after the age of 20

Causes Autoimmune disorder There is no way to stop your immune system from attacking your thyroid

Signs and Symptoms Tiredness Anxiety Irregular menstral cycle Muscle weakness Muscle cramps Nervousness rapid/irregular heart rate (palpitations) Shortness of breath Tremors Weight loss/or gain Hair loss Chronic sinus infections Brittle nails Oily skin Upset stomach due to increased calcium levels Anxiety Mood swings Difficulty concentrating Occasional mental impairment Double vision Expothalmos (eyes) Eye irritations/watering/sensitivity to light Fatigue Frequent bowel movements Groiter Heat intolerance/frequent sweating Increased appetite Insomnia

Groiter When the thyroid gland appears to be large, and a visibly swollen or large neck is seen.

Expothalmos When eyes appear to be bulging or “buggy” -In some cases this is severe

Diagnosis Examination of neck for groiter Blood tests Ultrasound TSH, T3, free T4 Ultrasound Radioactive iodine uptake

TSH, T3, and free T4 TSH: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (thyrotropin); regulates the function of the Thyroid Gland 0.3-3.0 T3: Triiodothyronine; affects almost every physiological proccess in the body. Ie: growth and development, metabolism, temperature, heart rate 70-180 Free T4: determines how the thyroid is functioning .8-1.5

Treatment Anithyroid medications Radioactive treatments Surgery Methimazole, propylthiouracil Radioactive treatments Surgery Heart medication atenonol

Prognosis -Patients with Graves Diseases can usually go into remission with the proper dosages and blood work done frequently. -Surgery for the removal of the thyroid gland is an option. -If left untreated, Graves Disease can be fatal.

Prevention -No way to prevent Graves -Some symptoms may be prevented with proper diet, exercise, and health care
