Division Consultant Jenny Kuchenbecker MAGIC Home To Print This Pag ... e The MAGIC Foundation for Children's Growth Chicago, Illinois Established in 1989 Thyroid Division Clinical Hypothyrodism Hypothyroidism usually is caused by an abnormality of the immune system that results in damage and destruction of the thyroid gland. This process results either in loss of thyroid tissue or an enlargement of the thyroid. The gland has the shape of a bow tie or butterfly, and is located just below the larynx, or "Adams Apple", and in front of the trachea, or windpipe. In most instances there is no pain or tenderness associated with thyroid diseases, although patients occasionally complain of difficulty in swallowing as if there were a lump in their throat. Often the only sign of hypothyroidism during childhood is an abnormal rate of linear growth. Actually the child may not be short compared to other children of the same age if he or she were above average height before the disease occurred. Therefore, the most important feature of hypothyroidism is a decrease in the rate or velocity of growth in height. If the disease is recognized early and adequately treated, the child will grow at an accelerated rate until reaching the same growth percentile where the child measured prior to the onset of hypothyroidism.

Return to Thyroid Home Page Primary Hypothyroid Primary hypothyroidism occurs when disease of the thyroid gland prevents it from producing adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and from nonspecific to very specific. In general, all metabolic processes slow down. Patients are often fatigued, and may also have depression, decreased intellectual function, and, rarely, overt psychosis. Patients frequently complain of cold intolerance, dry skin, and constipation. The heart rate is often slowed, as is the relaxation phase of deep tendon reflexes. There may be high cholesterol, mild anemia, and high serum enzymes, including CPK. The T4 and Free T4 is low and the TSH is always high (usually greater than 20 mU/L) . T3 may be normal. Primary Hypothyroid: Typical History 43 y/o patient with the chief complaint of "decreased energy." She complains of fatigue, inability to finish tasks, sleeping more, yet always being tired.

This can occur due to primary failure of the pituitary or as the result of hypothalamic dysfunction (tertiary hypothyroidism). Pituitary failure can result from destruction by pituitary and non-pituitary tumors, head trauma, radiation, postpartum infarction (Sheehan’s syndrome) or unknown causes (idiopathic). Generally the symptoms of hypothyroidism are less severe than in primary hypothyroidism and are often complicated by deficiencies of other pituitary hormones, as well as the mass effects of the intracranial tumor. Patients with secondary hypothyroidism must be evaluated for pituitary tumors and other hormone deficiencies.

Contact Nutritional Therapy for Thyroid Health and Hypothyroid Support This article discusses clinical and sub-clinical hypothyroid conditions and applicable nutritional support measures. It is not the intent of this article to diagnose, instruct individuals in self diagnosis or instruct individuals in the treatment of thyroid disease. The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, located in the neck, wrapped around the windpipe, and is located behind and below the Adam's Apple area. The thyroid produces several hormones, of which two are key: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones help oxygen get into cells, and regulate metabolism. The hypothalamus in the brain releases Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH) which tells the pituitary gland to release Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). The circulating TSH in your bloodstream is what tells the thyroid to make thyroid hormones and release them into your bloodstream. This feedback loop is affected by emotions, stress and the state of health of the entire nervous and endocrine system. Diminished thyroid activity, or hypothyroidism, decreases metabolic rate, makes it impossible to assimilate food properly, depresses the activity of other glands in the body and ultimately adversely affects every cell and tissue in the body.

W elcome to the Thyroid Federation International Home Page. Through this site we plan to keep you informed of the activities of our growing organization and the development of existing and future thyroid member organizations in the world. The Thyroid Federation International first convened in Toronto at the 11th International Thyroid Congress in September 1995. The vision of a world thyroid organization to deal with the problems of thyroid disease in a global perspective was first advocated by Diana Meltzer Abramsky, C.M., B.A. who in 1980 founded the Thyroid Foundation of Canada in Kingston, Ontario Canada - the first lay thyroid organization in the world. Since then, the idea has received enthusiastic support and leadership from Dr. Lawrence C. Wood of the Thyroid Foundation of America, the Federation's first president. Starting from a base of six member organizations, the Federation has grown to include thyroid organizations in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. Our main objective is to assist all those interested to start a thyroid patient organization in their country or locale. For more information see:

The roles of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, which control thyroid hormone levels via secretion of TSH and TRH, respectively, have been discussed elsewhere Cretinism Secondary Hypothyroidism Secondary Hypothyroidism A si mple list of the most common and least common causes of hypothyroidism is available. The most common causes are Lymphocytic Thyroiditis Idiopathic Atrophy . These account for nearly all the causes of primary hypothyroidism. Primary (more than 95%): Lymphocytic Thyroiditis There is infiltration of immune and inflammatory cells into the substance of the thyroid gland, then interaction of these with hormones and hormone precursors that results in the formation of complexes. The presence of immune complexes within the gland triggers subsequent cascade of immune-biochemical events that results in damage and, ultimately, complete destruction of the gland. This process is insidious...taking several years. Idiopathic Atrophy lymphocytic thyroiditis.
