T3
regulate metabolic rate of all cells
process function and nervous system and tissue differentiation
protein synthesis, bone growth
growth in pituitary gland
T4
converts to T3
90% of circulating thyroid hormone
regulated metabolic rate of all cells
process function and nervous system and tissue differentiation
secondary hypothyroidism
caused by pituitary; low secretion of T3 and T4
low release of tropic TSH
adequate release of T3 and T4
release tropic TSH
primary hypothyroidism
adequate release of T3 and T4; problem with thyroid gland
low secretion of T3 and T4; problem with pituitary gland
release tropic TSH
low release of tropic TSH
secondary hyperthyroidism
too much release of T3 and T4; problem with the pituitary
high secretion of TSH
high secretion of T3 and T4; problem with thyroid
low release tropic TSH

s/s of hypothyroidism
"everything slows down"
low metabolism, low cells growth: hair loss, brittle nails, cold intolerance
high caretone, yellowing of skin, decreases kidney dysfunction, anemia, hoarseness
"everything speeds up"

other s/s of hypothyroidism
weight gain, colder body temp, intolerance to cold, low energy; lethargic
fatigue, constipation, memory deficit, low attention, high cholesterol
diarrhea, otorrhea, rhinorrhea, exophthalmos-bulging eyes
tremors, localized edema, thyroid toxic storm
life threatening s/s of hypothyroidism
myxedema; altered LOC-completely unconscious
low temperature-hypothermic, low BP-hypotensive, low respiratory rate, low blood sugar
hyperthermia, high BP, high respiratory rate, high blood sugar
thyroid toxic storm/thyroid crisis, heart failure, delirium
s/s hperthyroidism
"everything speeds up"
heat intolerance, elevated heart rate, weight loss, insomnia, nervousness
tremors, diarrhea, exophlamos- bulging eyes, local edema
tremors, weight gain, less body heat, cold intolerance, increased cell growth
