Graves desease

Thyroid disease Graves' Disease, what is this disease?

• autoimmune disease characterized by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, diffusely enlarged thyroid gland;

• disease characterized by dysfunction of the thyroid gland and diffuse its increase;

• autoimmune disease characterized by low thyroid function.

• autoimmune disease characterized by normal thyroid hormone secretion, diffusely enlarged thyroid gland

What are the predisposing factors in the development of diffuse toxic goiter You can specify?

• trauma;

• heredity, trauma, viral infection

• heredity

• viral infections

What is the basis for the pathogenesis of diffuse toxic goiter?

• pathogenesis associated with a defect in the "immunological survival," ie, born of failure associated with antigen-specific T-suppressors;

• pathogenesis of multifactorial;

• pathogenesis is not known precisely

• pathogenesis associated with a defect in the humoral immunity.

At what age and what sex is more common toxic goiter?

• One at a young age, mostly women;

• in the elderly, mostly women;

• aged 20 to 50 years, mostly women;

• at a young age, most men;

Typical complaints of patients with diffuse toxic goiter?

• muscle weakness, irritability, tearfulness, sleep disturbance, palpitations, weight loss with increased appetite, feeling of pressure in the neck, sweating;

  
  

• drowsiness, dry skin, constipation;

• .palpitations, loss of appetite, constipation

• bradycardia, constipation, insomnia

Does the degree of thyroid enlargement severity of hyperthyroidism?

• conform;

• does not conform;

• corresponds to the mild;

• consistent with severe degrees of severity.

What is the basis of eye symptoms in diffuse toxic goiter?

• dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system and reduce the tone of smooth muscle fibers;

• dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system;

  
  

• increased activity of sympathetic-adrenal system with the objective of strengthening the tone of smooth muscle fibers elevates the upper eyelid;

• dysfunction of the parasympathetic nervous system

what is an endocrine ophthalmopathy?

• independent autoimmune disease characterized by swelling of the periorbital tissues, dysfunction of the eye muscles, trophic disorders, and exophthalmos;

• complication of diffuse toxic goiter, characterized by disorders of the eye muscles, edema of periorbital tissues;

• complication of endemic goiter;

• complication of hypothyroidism.

. There are methods of laboratory diagnosis of diffuse toxic goiter?

• detection of high content of TRH and TSH, low T3 and T4 levels, often reducing the capture of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland;

• determination of elevated levels of T3 and T4 decrease of TRH and TSH, the presence of antibodies in the blood tireoidstimuliruyuschih, increasing the capture of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland, the presence of diffuse thyroid enlargement on ultrasound;

• determination of low contents of T3 and T4, and sometimes the presence of antibodies in the blood tireoidstimuliruyuschih;

• determination of low contents of T3 and T4

Secondary hypothyroidism is different from the primary:

• elevated TSH levels;

• decline in production of thyroglobulin;

• reduced levels of TSH;

• increase in the size of the thyroid gland.
