heteroneous in echotexture thyroid typical of hashimotos disease?

Question

Anyone know anything about hashimoto's thyroidism symptoms?

Answer 1

Could be: It is difficult to reliably sonographically differentiate hashimoto thyroiditis from other thyroid pathology. Ultrasound features can be variable depending of the severity and phase of disease. A diffusely enlarged thyroid gland with a heterogeneous echotexture is a common sonographic presentation.

Answer 2

No: If it is radiation to the thyroid, it never becomes normal and need to have life long thyroid supplementation.

Answer 3

YES: However, that's not usually the desired result. Hyperthyroid patients who receive radioiodine treatment are best off if the gland stops working for a couple of reasons: 1) grave's disease could relapse. 2) exposure to radioactive iodine increases your risk for later developing thyroid cancer as long as your gland is active.

Answer 4

Have it evaluated: A tan, asymptomatic, rough skin lesion can be various things. Most of these things are benign, but I would recommend having it evaluated by a dermatologist to ensure that it is not a concerning lesion (like a skin cancer) or an unusual inflammatory or infectious disorder.

Answer 5

Skin lesions need: to be evaluated by your doctor visually. Changes, bleeding, irregular boarders, variations in color are all signs to be careful. Please get it checked. Peace and good health.

Answer 6

Levels: Checking thyroid levels and a thyroid specific protein product called thyroglobulin can give you an idea.

Answer 7

Clinical history: it depends upon the clinical condition. If hypothyroidism is because of Hashimoto disease, in most cases hypothyroidism is permanent. If hypothyroidism is because of inflammatory condition called thyroiditis, in those situations hypothyroidism can be temporary

Answer 8

Hyperhidrosis: If not due to medicine or hormone changes, it could be due to hyperhidrosis. Manualized cognitive behavior psychotherapy can be instrumental. Excessive sweating can also be treated by anticholinergic agents, benzodiazepines, or Buspirone (many of these used by anxiety). Very rarely regional sympathectomy is performed if no benefit from the aforementioned.

Answer 9

Sweating out toxins: Fyi: admittedly, hyperhidrosis can really be a drag. On the other hand, it is better to sweat "too much" than "not enough, " because sweating (because it allows for the excretion of lipophilic, i.e., fat-loving, toxins) is one of the best ways to rid the body of toxins (detoxify). In addition to the skin, other organs of excretion include the gastrointestinal system, the kidneys, and the lungs.

Answer 10

Normal Levels: The same normal levels are for all individuals, however this may vary slightly depending on the lab. Usually normal levels are based on averages and have both a higher and lower levels. Different labs have different reagents and use different methods, so there upper limits may be slightly different.

Answer 11

Some mild variation: Thyroid hormone test results are similar for all persons, with some variation in the "normal ranges" depending on age and sex (which is true for many types of blood tests). Sometimes, a person will have results inside the "normal range" but still need treatment; while other times, a person will have results a little bit outside the "normal range" but still be normal (nature is just this way!).

Answer 12

Good doctor: There are many "thyroid tests". More important than a specific test is the judgement and insight of the doctor ordering the tests, so that he gets the right ones, and interprets them properly. Hopefully you will get that from johns hopkins.

Answer 13

Depends: What are your symptoms? Have you weight loss, sweating and a racing heart? Or are you sluggish with no energy. The testing will include thyroid hormone levels, scans of your thyroid and depending upon the symptoms heart analysis and brain scans.
