81. Graves' - Treatment Of Children And Neonates Special considerations in the treatment of thyrotoxicosis in children and therapy of childhood graves' disease. http://www.thyroidmanager.org/Chapter11/11_children.htm

Special Considerations in the Treatment of Thyrotoxicosis in Children Thyrotoxicosis may occur in any age group but is unusual in the first five years of life. The same remarkable preponderance of the disease in females over males is observed in children as in the adult population, and the signs and symptoms of the disease are similar in most respects. Behavioral symptoms frequently predominate in children and produce difficulty in school or problems in relationships within the family. Thyrotoxic children are tall for their age, probably as an effect of the disease. These children are restored to a normal height/age ratio after successful therapy for the thyrotoxicosis. Permanent brain damage and craniosynostosis are reported as complications of early childhood thyrotoxicosis( ). Bone age is also often advanced. No more is known about the cause of the disease in children than in adults. Diagnosis rests upon eliciting a typical history and signs and upon the standard laboratory test results. Normal values for children are not the same as for adults during the first weeks of life, and these differences, as noted in Chapter 6 , should be taken into account.

Please feel free to visit our Home Page or check out other eye conditions on our Eye Conditions page GRAVES' EYE DISEASE OR Infiltrative Thyroid Ophthalmopathy Janet's page Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces a greater than normal amount of hormone. It occurs in a number of diseases, including Graves' disease, toxic goitre, thyroiditis and ingestion of excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. Excessive levels of thyroid hormones give rise to weight loss, rapid hart, tremor, sweating and changes in the nails, skin and hair. Subjectively, a person will notice nervousness, heat intolerance and hart palpitations. Prominent eyes or Proptosis Inability to close eyes Graves' disease is a term used to describe the commonest variety of hyperthyroidism, which is regarded as having an autoimmune basis. Autoimmune disease may be understood as a process by which the body sees some part of itself as being foreign and reacts to it much the same way that it would with any bacteria or virus. In the case of Graves' disease, the body sees the thyroid gland as the foreign object and produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. This will often (but not in all cases) cause the thyroid gland to become over active. Graves' eye disease is currently believed to be due to a similar autoimmune reaction. However, in the case of

I don't know if I've been unhealthy all my life, but looking back, I suspect I have been so on and off - for much of my adult life anyway. I remember taking a photography class and realizing that my hands shook a lot. Whenever I'd asked doctors about being tired all the time or feeling swollen after a workout, they've all said everything was normal. Maybe I should slow down and not work so much were the suggestion I got from a couple of them; it was true, I did work a lot and played hard too. About a year later, I found out what the problem was.

How does Graves' Disease affect the eyes? ... I don't really like the idea of the drugs or surgery or radiation. Are there any alternatives? What is hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is an overfunctioning of the thyroid gland. This overfunctioning results in the production of too much thyroid hormone. Because the thyroid hormone controls many bodily functions, this increase in the thyroid hormone level causes these bodily functions, such as heartrate, or in some cases blood pressure, to increase, sometimes to very dangerous levels. Is it contagious?

Prevention Graves¹ disease Definition: Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease (one in which the immune system targets certain tissues and attacks them) that causes overactivity of the thyroid gland ( hyperthyroidism Alternative Names: Diffuse thyrotoxic goiter Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Located in the front of the neck just below the larynx (voicebox), the thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system. The thyroid secretes the hormones thyroxine ) and triiodothyronine ), which control body metabolism . Regulation of metabolism is critical in controlling mood, weight and mental and physical energy levels. Thyroid disorders caused by overproduction of thyroid hormones are called hyperthyroidism , and underproduction of these hormones is known as hypothyroidism Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. The production of thyroid hormone is increased, causing a wide range of symptoms from anxiety and restlessness to insomnia and weight loss. In addition, the eyeballs may begin to protrude (

Other Causes of Hyperthyroidism Graves' Disease Graves' disease is named after the Irish physician who described several cases in the London Medical Journal in 1835. It was actually first described by Parry a few years earlier. In Europe the disease is known as Basedow's disease. In all countries it is also known as "thyrotoxicosis". Graves' disease, by far the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in Canada, affects perhaps one in every 100 people. It appears to be becoming even more common. The disease is an inherited disorder, although not every member of the afflicted families will suffer this condition. It is more common in females than in males. Top Thyroid Stimulating Antibody Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder. It is caused by an abnormal protein, called thyroid stimulating antibody. This antibody stimulates the thyroid gland to produce large amounts of thyroid hormone in an uncontrolled manner. In normal people, the production of thyroid stimulating antibody (and other abnormal antibodies) is prevented by a surveillance system. This system consists of certain blood cells called suppressor and helper lymphocytes and Killer (K) cells, as well as other constituents. The suppressor lymphocytes suppress unwanted lymphocytes. Measurement of the thyroid stimulating antibody present in the blood of most patients with Graves' disease is not usually necessary, in order to establish the diagnosis.

Autoimmune Diseases Thyroid Disease Graves' Disease is a type of autoimmune disease in which the immune system over stimulates the thyroid gland, causing hyperthyroidism . Over-activity of the thyroid gland is also sometimes called "diffuse toxic goiter." The thyroid gland helps set the rate of metabolism (the rate at which the body uses energy), and when it is over-stimulated, it produces more thyroid hormones than the body needs. High levels of thyroid hormones can cause difficult side effects. This is an extremely rare disease that tends to affect women over the age of 20. The incidence is about 5 in 10,000 people. What is an autoimmune disease? An autoimmune disease occurs when the body's immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the very organs, cells, or tissues that it was designed to protect. About 75% of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during their childbearing years. What are the symptoms of Graves' Disease?

About Graves' Disease GRAVES' DISEASE Graves' disease is a thyroid disorder in which a hyperactive thyroid is accompanied by a goiter, an infiltrative eye disorder, or a skin disorder that usually affects the shin area. Symptoms may include nervousness, fatigue, weight loss, sweating, tachycardia, and blurred vision when the eye disorder is present. Graves' disease is a common form of hyperthyroidism and may affect as many as 500,000 patients in the United States. Researchers believe that all four disorders may result from infection by HIAP and that individual genetic factors such as HLA haplotype may help to determine the specific symptoms which are experienced by the infected person. Support for the possibility that HIAP infection is in fact the cause of these four disorders is provided by a study by Steinfeld et al Several patents cover HIAP in the U.S. and other countries. Autoimmune Technologies has licensed the HIAP technology from Tulane University in order to develop diagnostic tests and therapies for Graves' disease and the other disorders.
