Part 1: Introduction, Causes, and Symptoms Updated November 27, 2003 Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to "run the body's metabolism", it is understandable that people with this condition will have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism. Over five million Americans have this common medical condition. In fact, as many as ten percent of women may have some degree of thyroid hormone deficiency. Hypothyroidism is more common than you would believe...and, millions of people are currently hypothyroid and don't know it! [For an overview of how thyroid hormone is produced and how its production is regulated check out our thyroid hormone production page.] There are two fairly common causes of hypothyroidism. The first is a result of previous (or currently ongoing) inflammation of the thyroid gland which leaves a large percentage of the cells of the thyroid damaged (or dead) and incapable of producing sufficient hormone. The most common cause of thyroid gland failure is called autoimmune thyroiditis (also called Hashimoto's thyroiditis ), a form of thyroid inflammation caused by the patient's own immune system.

Division Consultant Jenny Kuchenbecker MAGIC Home To Print This Pag ... e The MAGIC Foundation for Children's Growth Chicago, Illinois Established in 1989 Thyroid Division Clinical Hypothyrodism Hypothyroidism usually is caused by an abnormality of the immune system that results in damage and destruction of the thyroid gland. This process results either in loss of thyroid tissue or an enlargement of the thyroid. The gland has the shape of a bow tie or butterfly, and is located just below the larynx, or "Adams Apple", and in front of the trachea, or windpipe. In most instances there is no pain or tenderness associated with thyroid diseases, although patients occasionally complain of difficulty in swallowing as if there were a lump in their throat. Often the only sign of hypothyroidism during childhood is an abnormal rate of linear growth. Actually the child may not be short compared to other children of the same age if he or she were above average height before the disease occurred. Therefore, the most important feature of hypothyroidism is a decrease in the rate or velocity of growth in height. If the disease is recognized early and adequately treated, the child will grow at an accelerated rate until reaching the same growth percentile where the child measured prior to the onset of hypothyroidism.

Return to Thyroid Home Page Primary Hypothyroid Primary hypothyroidism occurs when disease of the thyroid gland prevents it from producing adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and from nonspecific to very specific. In general, all metabolic processes slow down. Patients are often fatigued, and may also have depression, decreased intellectual function, and, rarely, overt psychosis. Patients frequently complain of cold intolerance, dry skin, and constipation. The heart rate is often slowed, as is the relaxation phase of deep tendon reflexes. There may be high cholesterol, mild anemia, and high serum enzymes, including CPK. The T4 and Free T4 is low and the TSH is always high (usually greater than 20 mU/L) . T3 may be normal.

This can occur due to primary failure of the pituitary or as the result of hypothalamic dysfunction (tertiary hypothyroidism). Pituitary failure can result from destruction by pituitary and non-pituitary tumors, head trauma, radiation, postpartum infarction (Sheehan’s syndrome) or unknown causes (idiopathic). Generally the symptoms of hypothyroidism are less severe than in primary hypothyroidism and are often complicated by deficiencies of other pituitary hormones, as well as the mass effects of the intracranial tumor. Patients with secondary hypothyroidism must be evaluated for pituitary tumors and other hormone deficiencies.

This article discusses clinical and sub-clinical hypothyroid conditions and applicable nutritional support measures. It is not the intent of this article to diagnose, instruct individuals in self diagnosis or instruct individuals in the treatment of thyroid disease. The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, located in the neck, wrapped around the windpipe, and is located behind and below the Adam's Apple area. The thyroid produces several hormones, of which two are key: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones help oxygen get into cells, and regulate metabolism. The hypothalamus in the brain releases Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH) which tells the pituitary gland to release Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). The circulating TSH in your bloodstream is what tells the thyroid to make thyroid hormones and release them into your bloodstream. This feedback loop is affected by emotions, stress and the state of health of the entire nervous and endocrine system. T3 is the most potent thyroid hormone and is required throughout the body for cell metabolism. T4 must be converted to T3 in order to interact in the cells metabolically. T3, however, has an extremely short life span so the thyroid produces significantly more T4 than it does T3. Most synthetic thyroid hormones are primarily if not exclusively T4 while natural thyroid hormones, derived from animal sources contain a balanced ratio of T3 and T4. If the patients body is unable to convert T4 to T3, the synthetic T4 will not be effective in treating the hypothyroid condition and the symptoms will still be present. In my experience, this has been a common complaint from patients taking synthetic thyroid hormones. If you are taking thyroid medication and still don't feel better, contact your physician and ask him to consider prescribing a natural thyroid product like Armour Thyroid, Nathroid or Westhyroid.

Suddenly, you have a lot of confusion and certainly may be frightened regarding the well being of your new infant. As a concerned parent you probably wish to learn as much as you can about the condition and what you and your health care professional can do to help your baby's condition as your child grows and develops. ASK QUESTIONS... As you learn about congenital hypothyroidism, it is probable that you will have questions that may be specific to your child. Leave no questions unanswered, even if you think the questions are simple or silly. A greater understanding of this condition will allow you to provide optimal care for your child.

W elcome to the Thyroid Federation International Home Page. Through this site we plan to keep you informed of the activities of our growing organization and the development of existing and future thyroid member organizations in the world. The Thyroid Federation International first convened in Toronto at the 11th International Thyroid Congress in September 1995. The vision of a world thyroid organization to deal with the problems of thyroid disease in a global perspective was first advocated by Diana Meltzer Abramsky, C.M., B.A. who in 1980 founded the Thyroid Foundation of Canada in Kingston, Ontario Canada - the first lay thyroid organization in the world. Since then, the idea has received enthusiastic support and leadership from Dr. Lawrence C. Wood of the Thyroid Foundation of America, the Federation's first president. Starting from a base of six member organizations, the Federation has grown to include thyroid organizations in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. Our main objective is to assist all those interested to start a thyroid patient organization in their country or locale. For more information see:

WELCOME TO CHRONIC WELLNESS This page is dedicated to all those willing to let wellness become a habit. I am a middle-aged woman who after years of misdiagnosis was finally diagnosed in 1990 with Graves' disease (an autoimmune illness, by definition chronic, and a hyperthyroid condition) and Hashimoto's disease (an autoimmune illness, again chronic and a hypothyroid condition). In 1991 I received standard U.S. treatment for Graves' disease, radioactive iodine. I was removed from the danger of thyroid storm, however, to my dismay, this did not make me feel "better" nor was I "cured". Dr. Christiane Northrup says, "There is a difference between healing and curing. Healing is a natural process and is within the power of everyone. Curing, which is what doctors are called upon to do, usually consists of an external treatment and medication or surgery is used to mask or eliminate symptoms. This external treatment doesn't necessarily address the factors that contribute to the symptoms in the first place. Healing goes deeper than curing and must always come from within." I have grown to understand that healing takes time and calls for a look at causes and not just the alleviation of symptoms. I have stopped looking for a quick fix-there is no quick fix for chronic illness. Since diagnosis, living with my illness and running a support group for over a decade, I have become aware that there is a strong need to educate, encourage, and empower all thyroid patients, their families, friends and physicians.
