Presentation
The list of potential etiologies in these patients can be long, particularly if presenting symptoms do not fall into recognized patterns. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Various autoantibodies may be present against thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin and TSH receptors, although a small percentage of people may have none of these antibodies present. [en.wikipedia.org]
The discussion in the previous paragraph considered all cases of nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis in the present study. [ajronline.org]
Treatment with thyroid hormone may be used when a goitre is present or the body’s natural thyroid hormone production is decreased or TSH level increased. This treatment is called replacement therapy. [labtestsonline.org.au]
Summary After a review of the methods used for the detection of thyroid autoantibodies, two clinical observations are presented where oedematous exophtalmia and ophtalmoplegia are associated with chronic aspecific thyroiditis and thyroid autoimmune reactions [tandfonline.com]

Nevertheless, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity is a substantial factor behind the apoptotic fall-out of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. [en.wikipedia.org]

Respiratoric
- Hoarseness
Seven patients (11%) reported hoarseness, nine (15%) reported difficulty swallowing, nine (15%) reported that the nodule was increasing in size, and five (8%) reported that the nodule was painful. [ajronline.org]
Skin
- Alopecia
] Having other autoimmune diseases is a risk factor to develop Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and the opposite is also true. [1] Autoimmune diseases most commonly associated to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis include celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, vitiligo, and alopecia [en.wikipedia.org]
Neurologic
- Encephalopathy
Steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SREHT) is a more accurate description of the previously named “Hashimoto’s encephalopathy.” [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Workup
We should therefore consider wider indications for a workup when this patient group presents suspect symptoms of cancer. [frontiersin.org]

Treatment
The patient had significant clinical improvement and showed resolution on neuroimaging after corticosteroid treatment. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
No treatment is needed in these cases. Treatment with thyroid hormone may be used when a goitre is present or the body’s natural thyroid hormone production is decreased or TSH level increased. This treatment is called replacement therapy. [labtestsonline.org.au]
Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment. [account.allinahealth.org]
Treatment is carried out as an outpatient and depends on how well the thyroid gland is working. An overactive gland usually settles down by itself and hypothyroidism develops with time. [yourhormones.info]
A three years thyroid extract treatment was followed by a complete goitre regression, a cure of the ocular trouble and a subsidence of the autoimmune reactions. The second patient was a 50 years old woman. [tandfonline.com]
Prognosis
Outlook (Prognosis) The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with hormone replacement therapy. [account.allinahealth.org]
PTC and FTC are well-differentiated TCs and generally have a favorable prognosis ( 7 ), contrary to MTC and ATC with poor prognosis. Thyroid lymphoma (TL) is a rare TC, accounting for 1–5% of all thyroid malignancies ( 9 ). [frontiersin.org]
In the event that hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, it may be recommended that the TSH levels be kept under 3.0 m IU /L. [27] Prognosis [ edit ] Overt, symptomatic thyroid dysfunction is the most common complication, with about 5% of [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
The list of potential etiologies in these patients can be long, particularly if presenting symptoms do not fall into recognized patterns. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Epidemiology
Primary thyroid B cell lymphoma affects fewer than one in a thousand persons, and it is more likely to affect those with long-standing autoimmune thyroiditis. [28] Epidemiology [ edit ] This disorder is believed to be the most common cause of primary [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology
Progressive depletion of these cells as the cytotoxic immune response leads to higher degrees of primary hypothyroidism, presenting with low T3/T4 levels, and compensatory elevations of TSH. [ citation needed ] Pathophysiology [ edit ] There are multiple [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
Prevention There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment. [account.allinahealth.org]
