Mildly elevated would be about 4.25-5.0. So if yours was in that range this is mild but it means your thyroid itself was not producing enough hormones (t3 and t4) so your pituitary gland in brain released more TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to stimulate thyroid to prod more. But the high TSH means HYPOthyroisim. Under active thyroid which your doc would prob treat with a simple med called synthroid. Generic levothyroxine. This is a pill containing different form of the hormone (s) to make up for what your thyroid isn't producing.

I have a tumor in my salvatore gland and the doctor wants to remove the gland instead of just the tumor. We do not know if it is cancer or not. Will I have trouble making saliva? Will I have dry mouth? I do not want to be uncomfortable. Thanks Joanne consalvo joanneconsalvo@comcast.net

The reason why shellfish allergy is asked is because of the link between shellfish allergy and iodine allergy (shellfish are rich in iodine). That does not mean that if your allergic to shellfish then you are allergic to iodine - you may be allergic to another component that is in the shellfish.

Iodine is used in the thyroid scan as a dye and is injected into your veins. If you are allergic then the reaction would be quite quick and potentially serious. Asking about a shellfish allergy is to try to risk stratify those that may be more susceptible for a reaction and "prepare" the technician / radiologist for the worse case scenario.

The main allergic reaction we would be worried about would be true anaphylaxis (if you've not heard of this then you probably not had it). Rashes and facial swelling would indicate a allergic reaction. Sickness, diarrhea and feeling "off" would suggest an intolerance rather than a true allergic reaction.

Happy New Year!

try her on a apple a morning, toast with spaghetti or beans, then a piece of fish and salad for lunch and if she complains of being hungry after dinner then give her a bowl of cereal . if or when you do exercise have a bar of chocolate in the middle of it

The RAAS system involves several organs. When there is a loss of blood or loss of fluid and blood pressure falls, the liver produces angiotensinogen. The kidney produces renin which acts as an enzyme to change angiotensinogen into angiotensin I.

The kidneys along with the lungs produce a enzyme called ACE which changes angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

Angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor which acts on the vascular system to increase blood pressure. It also acts on the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland produces ADH. ADH means antidiuretic hormone. It causes the kidneys to "hold onto" water. The kidney produces aldosterone as a result, causing the body to conserve sodium.

To learn this material is very helpful to produce a diagram.

A high T3 uptake indicates that there is an increased capacity of thyroid-binding proteins to bind to triiodothyronine (T3), often seen in conditions like hyperthyroidism or when there are elevated levels of free thyroxine. It can also suggest that the levels of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) are low, allowing more T3 to be unbound. Clinically, a high T3 uptake is useful in assessing thyroid function and distinguishing between different types of thyroid disorders. However, it should be interpreted alongside other thyroid function tests for an accurate diagnosis.

Yes, that indicates a pituitary problem.

Because of weight loss and heat intolerance, you should do mild exercises and try to avoid extremely strenuous workouts. Always check with your doctor before you begin any kind of exercise program. Graves' disease can result in brittle bones. Weight-bearing exercises can help with bone density. Exercises that strengthen your heart and improve circulation and muscle tone keep your cardiovascular system functioning well. Walking is the best physical activity overall. Bike or swim if you can't walk. Rocking vigorously in a stable chair is also good exercise because it uses all the muscles in your body.

pituitary!

The CRH stimulation test is given to help distinguish between patients with pituitary adenomas and those with either ectopic ACTH syndrome or cortisol-secreting adrenal tumors.

no.

The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.

The facts supprting this premise are inconclusive according to search engine results.

Hi im a 7th grader, i was searching for it too, because i also have a project to do . anyway what you can do is you can sew it with different materials, or make them with playdoh. or you can buy the 6 piece set form ebay or amazon which is very expensive.

Hyperparathyroidism is cause by an tumor or adenoma (typically non-carcinogenic) in one or more of the parathyroid glands which are rice-sized glands located in the neck behind the thyroid gland.

Often times, one or more of these glands will enlarge from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a grape or larger.
