my mother is hyperthyroid patient how many chances are there that i will too be a patient of it.?

Question

What are the chances that the child will inherit hyperthyroidism from the mother?

Answer 1

Hyperthyroidi9sm: Most times you will not get it but there are uncommon familial cases due to mutations in tsh. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20926595.

Answer 2

Fairly high: Autoimmune thyroid disease commonly occurs along the female side of the family, though there is no direct genetic linkage in most families. However, you can either develop hyperthyroidism (graves disease) or hypothyroidism (hashimotos thyroiditis), or simply have an enlarged thyroid with high thyroid antibody levels but normal thyroid function. It can also occur at any time in your life.

Answer 3

It is difficult: If possible, i would try and get your siblings (if you have some) as well as other family members involved in the entire process. It is very difficult for parents as well as for the children involved when it comes to needing nursing home placement. Perhaps there is a therapist, like a social worker in your area who can give you some ongoing assistance. Most nursing homes employ such an individual.

Answer 4

Challenging issue: I agree with dr. Passer that this is a very difficult situation. Sometimes siblings and family members disagree about these things, which makes it even harder. Geriatric care managers may be able to help -- these are often nurses and social workers with special skills in dealing with elderly people & their families. You can find some in your area by searching: http://www.Caremanager.Org/.

Answer 5

Not really: Steroid injections will not dissolve lipomas. If you have 50+ they may not be lipomas, some times subcutaneous neurofibromas look like lipomas, you should have biopsy of one lesion to establish diagnosis, these lesions run in families other alternative see a cosmatic surgeon, for possible removal like liposuction.

Answer 6

Not really: I am not familiar with treating lipomata with steroid injections. Most can be removed through very small incisions. Larger lipomas can be suctioned out through tiny incisions. This may result in a slightly higher incidence of recurrence, but if you are sure these are garden variety lipomas, that is an option that leaves very little scarring. See a plastic surgeon.

Answer 7

Should be seen: These are worrisome symptoms and duration of symptoms. This seems to have gone beyound the normal wait and see and it is now time for her to get professional advice nad assessment.

Answer 8

Variable: The time from the start of insult to development of cancer varies with the genetics of the person, type of insult, intensity of insult etc. The sooner you quit the better.

Answer 9

By 12th week: It depends on what you mean by "completely formed", because the mouth continues to develop after birth. But in human embryonic development, the palate develops early. The hard palate (premaxilla and palatal shelves) fuse at about week 9 gestational age, and the soft palate has fused by week 10 to 12.

Answer 10

Between the 9 and 10: The palate is usually completely formed by the ninth or tenth week. The lips a few weeks sooner.

Answer 11

9 weeks: The development of the secondary palate begins in week 6 of embryological development. It is characterized by the formation of two palatal shelves (week 7) on the maxillary prominences, the elevation of these shelves to a horizontal position, and then a process of palatal fusion between the horizontal shelves (week 9). The shelves then fuse anteriorly with the primary palate to form hard palate.
