Elsa is an 11-month-old girl. Her parents have brought her to her pediatrician because they have noticed she seems lethargic and pale. Both parents have noticed that she appears bloated, doesn’t want to eat as much as she has before, and is tired and “cranky all the time.” They suspected she might be suffering from anemia, since she was being fed a low-iron formula, so they had switched to a high-iron formula. The change made no difference in her symptoms. The pediatrician notes that Elsa’s belly appears swollen. Her vital signs show that her temperature is normal and her heart rate is on the low end of the normal range for her age. She has dropped from the 50th percentile in height and weight (at her last check-up) to the 10th percentile in both height and weight.
Blood test results:
Hemoglobin: 5 g/dl
RBC: 4.6x106 cells/ml
MCV: 65
WBC: 18,000 cells/microliter
Platelet count: 250,000

- Thirty-two-year-old Aniyah waited impatiently as Dr. Guffey reviewed Aniyah's test results. Aniyah had been feeling tired, stressed, and irritated. She was sweating so much that she stained several new blouses. She had frequent diarrhea and difficulty sleeping. She had a new job that demanded long hours, but she felt like something else was wrong. Aniyah's neck was swollen and her eyes seemed like they had doubled in size. When some of her co-workers started calling her “Pop Eyes” she decided to get checked out. Dr. Guffey noted that Aniyah's thyroid hormone levels were elevated, but her level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was decreased. Dr. Guffey said that all of Aniyah's symptoms were consistent with a form of hyperthyroidism called Graves' Disease. And because the thyroid hormones have widespread and varied effects, the range of symptoms Aniyah experienced was more consistent with Graves' Disease, and not just from the stress of the new job.
