What is an isthmal nodule found in the thyroid gland?

It is a mistake. The isthmus of the thyroid gland is a thin bridge across the trachea, linking the right and left lobes. It occasionally also gives rise to the pyramidal lobe, a normal variant of thyroid anatomy. The adjectival form of isthmus is isthmic, so a nodule in the thyroid isthmus is an isthmic nodule, not an isthmal nodule.

Can you donate your kidney to your dad if you have a thyroid disease?

no, well actually you can but id rather you not because you can make your daughter have the same thing! But if it saves her life for some time you might want to take an chance

you might not want to because then she could get the same thing see if there is anyone else that will give up a kidney but if theirs not and your daughter is in a life or death situation then you might want to take the chance. if you are everunhappy and you want to fix your cure you should laugh they say 30% of people that laugh a lot get better eventually. maybe you can feel better and save your daughter its worth a try. but then again researchers have determined that people with even mild thyroid problems are twice as likely to have congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure, or simply heart failure, occurs when the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. That can lead to fatigue, ankle swelling, and shortness of breath. so if you still have your thyroid problems i don't think you should donate it unless no one else is willing to give your daughter their kidney.

How does hyperthyroidism cause brisk tendon reflexes?

The overactive thyroid releases excessive thyroxin. Thyroxin regulates how fast every cell in the body goes, including those in the nervous system. When neurons are bombarded with excess thyroxin telling them they need to go faster, reflexes quicken and the patient becomes jumpy, excitable, easily startled, and highly anxious. This is all due to the effect of thyroxin on the nervous system.

More specifically, T3 (tri-iodothyronine) is going to act intracellularly on the genes that make Sodium/Potassium ATPase pumps. T3 will also increase their activity. The process of nervous signal transduction involves depolarization of the neuron to generate an action potential. When there is increased K intracelluarly due to increased pump activity, the cell will have generated a larger membrane potential resulting in a much more reactive neuron. This will lead to hyperreflexia via hyperthyroidism. Treating the hyperthyroidism is needed to control this.
