Clinical information

• Thyroid disease is a broad term used by healthcare providers and professionals to describe a medical condition that disrupts the thyroid's ability to produce the necessary amount of hormones for normal bodily functions.
• When the thyroid produces an excess of hormones, it is known as hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis. These conditions can lead to accelerated energy expenditure, increased fatigue, and heightened anxiety or nervousness, even in the absence of a cause for concern.
• It's important to note that thyroid nodules, which are typically benign, can develop as a result of excessive thyroid hormone production.
• Conversely, if the thyroid produces an insufficient amount of hormones, it is referred to as hypothyroidism. This type of thyroid disease often leads to fatigue, sensitivity to cold temperatures, and a slowed metabolism, making weight gain more likely.
• In severe cases, it can even result in a coma.

Synonyms include:

• Thyrotoxicosis due to Graves' disease

• Hypothyroid obesity
