Fine Needle Biopsy

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Palpation and Auscultation of the
Acropachy Thyroid Gland
Glucocorticoids
Pretibial Myxedema

Opthalmopathy Fights inflammation and work with your immune
system
Thyroid Scan Enlargement of the thyroid gland (Goiter)
Radioactive Iodine Uptake
Exophthalmos

PBI (protein bound iodine) Levothyroxine and Thyroglobulin

Hyperactivity of the Thyroid Gland (Thyroid Hormones)
Vision loss or Diplopia Puts the thyroid Gland at rest. These are slow acting
KISS or Lugol’s Solution (Calcium-Channel Blocker)
Smooth muscle Dilators and drugs and usually take about 10 days to take effect
(Potassium Iodine Saturated Solution)
To inhibit release of thyroid hormone have negative inotropic effect
Increase release of the Thyroid
Hormone
T3 and T4 levels

Basal Metabolic Rate

Increase Calcitonin production Increase Triiodothyronine (T3) production Palpitations Arrythmia Increase Thyroxine (T4) production

Hypertension Heart Failure

High calcium absorption to the bones High Metabolic Rate High Basal Temperature

Hypocalcemia Weight loss Imbalanced Nutrition (less than Heat Intolerance
