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]
Entire Body System
- Goiter
Not everyone with thyroiditis or goiter has low levels of thyroid hormone. You may just need regular follow-up by a health care provider. [account.allinahealth.org]

Hashimoto thyroiditis can present clinically as painless firm diffuse goiter often accompanied by hypothyroidism and autoantibodies [ 1 ]. [ajronline.org]
- Fatigue
Symptoms Symptoms of Hashimoto disease may include any of the following: Constipation Difficulty concentrating or thinking Dry skin Enlarged neck or presence of goiter, which may be the only early symptom Fatigue Hair loss Heavy or irregular periods Intolerance [account.allinahealth.org]
Symptoms are those of hypothyroidism, such as weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, and fatigue; in addition, the thyroid is markedly enlarged, in many cases causing a visible goitre, which is firm and rubbery but is not usually tender. [labtestsonline.org.au]
The most common symptoms include the following: fatigue, weight gain, pale or puffy face, feeling cold, joint and muscle pain, constipation, dry and thinning hair, heavy menstrual flow or irregular periods, depression, panic disorder, a slowed heart rate [en.wikipedia.org]
Patients may also present with weight gain, myxedema, fatigue, and mental slowness as a result of hypothyroidism [ 17 ]. [ajronline.org]
- Thyroid Nodule
The total number of nodules in the thyroid was also recorded as one nodule (i.e., only the analyzed nodule), two to four nodules, or five or more nodules. [ajronline.org]

Nevertheless, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity is a substantial factor behind the apoptotic fall-out of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. [en.wikipedia.org]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
Rare cases of fibrous autoimmune thyroiditis present with severe dyspnea (shortness of breath) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), resembling aggressive thyroid tumors – but such symptoms always improve with surgery or corticosteroid therapy. [en.wikipedia.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]
