Thyroid

It is used by the Thyroid gland to produce its hormones called: T1, T2, T3, and T4. If not enough iodine is available for it to produce these hormones a swelling of the Thyroid will develop called "Goiter".

there are two types of thyroid disease. Hypo and Hyper. Your thyroid gland is in your neck area. either way one type of it causes your heart rate / metabolism to be really slow and can cause you to gain alot of weight. You'll have to take the appropriate dose of synthroid for the remainder of your life to keep it regualted i do believe. The other type is less common but does the exact opposite. Someone with hypo thyroid can have a resting heart rate of up to 120 and a crazy good metabolism. You can counter that with pills or kill your thyroid off all together.

If you are only being tested for thyroid function, and your doctor has not asked you to do otherwise, you do not need to fast.

If you are undergoing a physical exam for your hyperthyroidism, it is allowed, although unwise to indulge in coffee before the exam, as caffeine can make your hyperthyroid symptoms seem much worse. This would potentially lead the physician to get an unclear impression of the impact of the dysfunction to your system. With an altered impression, it is possible you could end up over-treated for your condition.

imagine you burned yourself/ the pain you get for days after hot pulsing stabbing pain- well that's what the right side of my thyroid feels like all the time and it is most painfull and annoying. have just had 2nd biopsy on 1.4cm nodule awaiting results been a week now. so yes is the answer to your question

The thyroid is in charge of metabolism, the parathyroid is in charge of what amount the thyroid regulates. If either of the two are out of sorts the feedback loop wont work.

Papillary thyroid cancer is considered the most common form of thyroid cancer. According to ThyroidAwareness.com, papillary thyroid cancer is most commonly diagnosed in women 30-40 years old and it most frequently spreads to the neck lymph nodes.

The condition that is associated with the thyroid gland being overactive, which then leads to an increased metabolism, is known as hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormones.

I think its simple cuboidal

Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid gland which is part of the body's endrocine system. There is really no means of prevention of cancer other than diet, excercise and maintaing a non-smoking lifestyle.

Thyroidectomy is the process of removing the thyroid. The result is hypothyroidism if not treated with thyroid hormone. Thyroidectomy is sometimes done to treat hyperthyroidism.

If the thyroid gland is removed, you will become hypOthyroid. This will first make you sick, and if you do not begin taking replacement medication for the missing hormones, you will eventually die. Your body cannot survive without thyroid hormone which is responsible for the metabolism of each and every cell of your body.

The thyroid gland is in the throat. It is sometimes called the "Adam's Apple" (based on the fanciful notion that when Adam swallowed the bite of forbidden apple, it got permanently caught in his throat, and that condition became hereditary).

Beta blockers are very effective in minimizing some of the annoying symptoms of hyperthyroid dysfunction, however, it does not treat the hyperthyroid condition itself.

Very effective! Propranolol is usually prescribed along with a anti-thyroid drug and after 7 days of around 30mg a day the beta blocker will counter act the overactive behaviour of the thyroid thus stablizing your body and after 3/4 weeks the patient should feel "normal" once again, however the drug must not be stopped immediately, this will enduse symptoms to return even worse or even cause heart failure. Beta Blockers must be gradually reduceds over a period of weeks. The Beta Blocker should be stopped once the anti-thyroid drug reduces the thryroid action to a normal rate.

A thyroid abnormality (either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) would affect your mood, but if your thyroid gland is working properly, it does not affect your mood, which have various psychological and physiological influences.

The thyroid autoimmune condition Graves' Disease can affect the eyes. Some thyroid patients diagnosed with Graves' may develop a condition known as Graves' thyroid eye disease. As the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center describes, "The eyes are particularly vulnerable to Graves' eye disease, because the autoimmune attack often targets the eye muscles and connective tissue within the eye socket. This occurs because these tissues contain proteins that appear similar to the immune system as those of the thyroid gland."

Hyperplasia of the Thyroid gland occurs as a result of dyshormonogenic goiter, endemic goiter, Graves' disease, or due to multinodular goiter.

an imaging technique used for diagnosing suspected thyroid disease. It uses harmless, high-frequency sound waves to form an image. The sound waves are reflected by thyroid tissue to form a picture of internal structures.

No! Seriously, you should ask a doctor this question.

Thyrotoxicosis: A condition resulting from excessive concentrations of thyroid hormones in the body, as in hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism: the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid.

The thyroid glands secrete thyroid hormone (and calcitonin, but it doesn't seem to be terribly important in humans), whose major role is to regulate basal metabolic rate (BMR). It does this indirectly by causing the synthesis of proteins called sodium-potassium pumps that use a lot of energy to make sure that the right electrolytes are distributed inside and outside of cells. The activity of the sodium-potassium pumps account for about 50% of your body's energy requirements at rest.

Signs of an overdose of thyroid replacement therapy can include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, anxiety, tremors, weight loss, increased appetite, sweating, and heat intolerance. These symptoms occur due to an excess of thyroid hormones in the body, which can lead to hyperthyroidism. In severe cases, an overdose may result in more serious complications like heart arrhythmias or a thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition. It's crucial for individuals on thyroid medication to have their dosage monitored regularly by a healthcare professional.

Your thyroid gland

A needle is inserted into a vein, usually in the forearm, and a small amount of blood is collected and sent to a laboratory for testing. The patient will usually feel minor discomfort from the "stick" of the needle.
