TSH is not a thyroid hormone - it is a pituitary hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's job is to tell the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce. This is called a negative feedback system.
When there is too much thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary turns off TSH as the body doesn't need any MORE thyroid hormone.
If the brain, pituitary and thyroid are working properly, thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be high (hypERthyroidism) when TSH is low, and thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be low (hypOthyroidism) when TSH is high.
An enlarged thyroid gland is called a goiter. The disease of hypo or hyper secretion is known as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
To support, stimulate, and regulate glandular secretions. Endocrine dysfunction; growth disturbances; obesity or weight reduction due to pituitary dysfunction; hyperthyroidism, goitre, Graves' disease; hypo-thyroidism (myxedema); Addison's disease. I used it to treat my diabetes since it helps re-energize Endocrine system.
Any disease that's genetic or hormonal is non communicable. Examples are: * diabetes * heart disease * hypo/hyper thyroidism * cancer * alzheimer's
It depends upon the thyroid condition. An underactive thyroid occurs in a condition called hypothyroidism; this is characterized by an insensitivity to cold, lethargy/fatigue, and weight gain. An overactive thyroid gland, which occurs in hyperthyroidism, can produce heat insensitivity, anxiety, weight loss, fast heart rate, palpitations, can predispose you to heart arrhythmias.AnswerHeat or cold intolerance; Weight gain, with hypothyroidism, or weight loss with hyperthyroidism; Depression with hypothyroidism, or mania/hypomania with hyperthyroidisml Fatigue with hypothyroidism or agitation/anxiety and palpitations with hyperthyroidism, as well as many others.
They should check into hormone imbalance, adrenal exhaustion and hypo thyroidism. They could also be tested to see if they are in menopause. Correcting these things could stop the weight gain.
hypo is when your blood sugar is too low and hyper is when it is too high
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It is produced by the pituitary to turn on the thyroid gland. If TSH is low, that is because there is sufficient (or too much ) thyroid hormone in the body, so the pituitary needs less to keep the thyroid functioning. Thyroid hormones measured in lab tests are usually FreeT4 and FreeT3.
Sodium thiosulfate is called hypo because it was historically used as a photographic fixer, which removed unexposed silver halide from photographic film. The term "hypo" is short for "hypo-sulfite," indicating its chemical composition.
"Hyper" means excessive or elevated, while "hypo" means deficient or decreased. These prefixes are commonly used in medicine to describe conditions such as hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid activity) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Thyroidism can in fact, be hereditary. I myself, have low thyriod, along with my mother. If you someone in your family has thyroidism and you're worried that may be you have thyroid disease, then you should see a Endocrinologist like I did. * Syptoms vary because there are two types of thyroidism. There's hypo- and hyper thyroidism. But again, consult a Endocrinologist as they are doctors specialized in Thyroid disorders, Diabtese, etc.
Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are the main diagnostic criteria for a thyroid disease. These are however done in the face of other clinical findings and patients symptoms (differs for hypo and hyperthyroidism)
Abnormal levels of thyroid hormone can be caused by conditions like hyperthyroidism (excess hormone production) or hypothyroidism (insufficient hormone production). Other factors like autoimmune diseases, iodine deficiency, thyroid nodules, or certain medications can also contribute to thyroid hormone imbalances. It is essential to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.
