Hypothyroidism with myxdemais and myopathy a disorder of the endocrine system. It is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Your thyroid is a small‚ butterfly-shaped gland situated at the base of the front of your neck‚ rightbelow your Adam’s apple. Hormones produced by the thyroid gland — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — have an enormous impact on your health‚ affecting all aspects of your metabolism. They maintain the rate at which your body uses fats and carbohydrates

1. What is the most likely etiological factor for Mrs. Baksh’s primary hypothyroidism? Explain in detail the pathophysiology of primary hypothyroidism using the complex feedback mechanism. According to the American Thyroid Association‚ the three most common causes to hypothyroidism are: the surgical removal of the thyroid gland‚ radiation treatment and the body attacking thyroid tissue as a result of autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (American Thyroid Association‚ 2014). In Mrs. Baksh’s

Urine collects in the kidneys travels through 2 thin tubes Ureters to bladder Muscles in the ureter walls tighten and relax to push urine downward away from the kidneys Sphincter is like a rubber band which keeps the opening of the bladder so that urine can pass down through the urethra urethra‚ tube that allows urine exits the body. 4.

Hyperthyroidism Vs. Hypothyroidism The endocrine system is a series of glands within the body. These gland impact a lot of our body including calcium levels and what we find joy in ( the pituitary gland releases dopamine if we enjoy something). Because there are so many glands in our bodies‚ there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Two of the things that could go wrong are Hyperthyroidism (overactive Thyroid) and Hypothyroidism (underactive Thyroid). While they are both malfunctions of the Thyroid

Part 1: INTRODUCTION TO HYPERTHYROIDISM Hyperthyroidism is a large topic so we have split it into four manageable sized portions. This page introduces hyperthyroidism. Subsequent pages are listed at the bottom which address more specific details of making the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism‚ the causes of hyperthyroidism‚ and different treatment options available for hyperthyroidism. In healthy people‚ the thyroid makes just the right amounts of two hormones‚ T4 and T3‚ which have important

humble contribution to the Nursing profession. Introduction Hyperthyroidism‚ a term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland‚ resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4)‚ triiodothyronine (T3) or both. Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level‚ affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body. It functions as a stimulus for metabolism. Hyperthyroidism‚ considered as the second most common endocrine disorder. It results
