Question 1

if i am having abdominal bloating can this be caused by silent thyroiditis?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Abdominal symptoms would be very unlikely related to thyroiditis. If they were you would also have other symptoms of a low thyroid level.

Question 2

could thyroiditis cause low gfr?

Accepted Answer

EGFR?: No. Low egfrs are of no consequence in hyper or hypothyroid stages of thyroiditis.

Question 3

autoimmune thyroiditis is caused by what?

Accepted Answer

Unknown : It runs in families and there are genetic associations. Often it occurs with other autoimmune disease. There may be environmental causes or viral infection.

Question 4

could thyroiditis causes lymph nodes to swell?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 5

can flagyll and cipro (ciprofloxacin) cause thyroiditis?

Accepted Answer

I have never seen it: There are infectious agents causing acute thyroiditis and antibiotics actually treat the thyroidistis/infection. Anything is possible and i suppose antibiotics can cause an unexpected reaction to induce thyroiditis, but it has never been reported with the two medicines you mentioned. If you have trouble with your thyroid, consult you pcp or an endocrinologist. Good luck.

Question 6

is it possible for rhodiola rosea to cause hashimoto's thyroiditis in somebody?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I cannot identify any cases implicating rhodiola as a causative factor for autoimmune attack of the thyroid.  Long-term safety data is not available.  Rhodiola is used in Eastern medicine to treat symptoms of hypothyroidism (fatigue, depressed mood, concentration).  I cannot form an opinion as to its effect.

Question 7

can hashimoto's thyroiditis cause alopecia?

Accepted Answer

Hashimoto's Thyroid: Symptoms of hashimotos:
constipation
difficulty concentrating or thinking
dry skin
enlarged neck or presence of goiter
fatigue
hair loss
heavy and irregular periods
intolerance to cold
mild weight gain
small or shrunken thyroid gland (late in the disease).

Question 8

what is the chance that malaise is caused by subacute granulomatous thyroiditis? what are the usual symptoms?

Accepted Answer

See details: If your thyroid function is normal, it is not causing your symptoms.

Question 9

can a pituitary tumor cause thyroiditis?

Accepted Answer

No: Hi. No, a pituitary tumor can't cause thyroiditis. Pituitary tumors can cause hypothyroidism &amp; hyperthyroidism (by different mechanisms), but can't cause thyroiditis. If both are coexistent, they're independent. All the best!

Question 10

can hashimoto's thyroiditis cause keratosis pilaris?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is autoimmune related and Keratosis Pilaris is autosomal dominant genetic related so is not thought to be autoimmune caused.
