Paper Summary:
Hyperthyroidism is the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid. This paper discusses the disease by looking at its causes (autoimmune reaction), symptoms (weight loss, heat intolerance, etc.), signs (goiter and bulging eyes) and treatment (diverse, depending on the patient's age and condition).From the Paper:
"However, the classical clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism may be lacking, and instead anorexia with wasting, atrial fibrillation, or congestive heart failure may be the predominant manifestation of hyperthyroidism (Woeber, 2000). This is almost always the case in young patients with Grave's disease, whereas in elderly patients, toxic nodular goiter is a common cause of hyperthyroidism."More papers on Hyperthyroidism:
