The T4 test is a test that is ran to check the amount of thyroxine that is present in the person’s blood. The T4 levels have a normal range of 4.6 to 12 ug/dL. The nurse

When the thyroid hormones are low you gain weight (Hypothyroidism), when the thyroid hormones are high you lose weight (Hyperthyroidism). A really common type of weight loss is when you lose weight. When you have swelling or enlargement

Brown (2012) noted that maternal thyroxin (T4) significantly impact and prevents neurological damage to infants. Man( 1971) noted that maternal hypothyroidism significantly impars the pyshocmotor development and Haddow et al (1999) pointed to a decline of four points in IQ being noted in children age 7 to 9 year, with a direct finding of maternal hypothyroidism at 17 weeks gestation. Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome presents typically during birth or early infancy, suggesting thyroid abnormalities are usually

important to regularly visit a doctor if you have hyperthyroidism.

You would need thyroid hormone supplements for the rest of your life. The treatment for hyperthyroidism includes

Hypothyroidism occurs when there is deficient thyroid hormone secretion by the thyroid gland. It is also referred to as an underactive thyroid. This paper will discuss the function of the thyroid gland, as well as the causes, classification, risk factors, clinical features, laboratory values, diagnostic imaging, and treatment of hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland is located anteriorly in the lower neck, just inferior to the laryngeal prominence, which is also referred to as the Adam’s apple. It

For my Search Engine/Database Comparison and Self Reflection paper I selected to search hypothyroidism. I chose this subject for two reasons. The first is in 1986 I had a tumor on the back right lobe of my thyroid that I had to have surgically removed. Within five years of that surgery my left lobe had stopped functioning which I knew was a possibility and if this happened I would be on medication the rest of my life. Which brings me to my second reason for researching this – I ran out my prescription

inflammation with an increase in destruction and fibrosis of the thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a gland in your neck that secretes hormones. Hashimoto’s disease can sometimes lead to an underactive thyroid which can result in hypothyroidism. This is also the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Hashimoto’s mainly affects women who are middle aged, but can affect, men, and children of any age. It has been established that Hashimoto’s is seven times more common in women
