NORMAL THYROID
Normal thyroid tissue with follicles filled with colloid .
Thyroid cells form follicles, spheres of epithelial cells (always single-layered in health, usually more-or-less cuboidal, variably tall or short).
The C-cells (parafollicular cells) of the thyroid are visible between the follicles

Elevated RAIU with hyperthyroid symptoms◦ Graves’◦ Toxic goiter
Low RAIU with hyperthyroid symptoms◦ Thyroiditis (Subacute, Active Hashimoto’s)◦ Hormone ingestion (Thyrotoxicosis factitia, Hamburger
Thyrotoxicosis)◦ Excess I- intake in Graves’ (Jod-Basedow effect)◦ Ectopic thyroid carcinoma (Struma ovarii)

Hypothyroidism
Agenesis Thyroid destruction
◦ Hashimoto’s thyroiditis◦ Surgery◦ I131 ablation◦ Infiltrative diseases◦ Post-laryngectomy
Inhibition of function◦ Iodine deficiency◦ Iodine administration◦ Anti-thyroid medications (PTU, Methimazole, Lithium,
Interferon)◦ Inherited defects
Transient◦ Postpartum◦ Thyroiditis
![Page 19: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5560e1fed8b42a086e8b4b5e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hypothyroidism Cause is determined by geography
◦ Hashimoto’s in industrialized countries◦ May be due to iodine excess in some costal
areas Diagnosis
◦ Low FT4, High TSH (Primary, check for antibodies)
◦ Low FT4, Low TSH (Secondary or Tertiary, TRH stimulation test, MRI)
Treatment◦ Levothyroxine (T4) due to longer half life◦ Treatment prevents bone loss, cardiomyopathy,
myxedema

Hashimoto’s(Chronic, Lymphocytic)
Most common cause of hypothyroidismResult of antibodies to TPO, TBGCommonly presents in females 30-50 yrs.Usually non-tender and asymptomaticLab values

PREVALENCE - 4/1000 women; 1/1000 men.
Japanese population, genetic factors, chronic exposure to high iodine diet.
Mean age at diagnosis 60yrs, prevalence of hypothyroidism increases with age.

A/ka Autoimmune thyroiditis & struma lymphomatosa.
Age & Gender: 45-65 years of age, more common in women than in man, with a female predominance of 10:1 to 20:1.
Symptoms and signs: euthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

PATHOGENESIS
Sensitization of autoreactive CD4+ T-helper cells to thyroid antigens appears to be the initiating event. The effector mechanisms for thyrocyte death include the following: ◦ CD8+ cytotoxic T cell-mediated cell death: CD8+ cytotoxic T
cells may cause thyrocyte destruction by one of two pathways: exocytosis of perforin/granzyme granules or engagement of death receptors, specifically CD95 (also known as Fas) on the target cell
◦ Cytokine-mediated cell death: CD4+ T cells produce inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ in the immediate thyrocyte milieu, with resultant recruitment and activation of macrophages and damage to follicles.
◦ Binding of antithyroid antibodies (anti-TSH receptor antibodies, antithyroglobulin, and antithyroid peroxidase antibodies) followed by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)

Pathogenesis
![Page 27: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5560e1fed8b42a086e8b4b5e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The goiter is generally symmetrical, often with a conspicuous pyramidal lobe. Grossly, the tissue involved by Hashimoto's thyroiditis is pinkish-tan to frankly yellowish and tends to have a rubbery firmness. The capsular surface is gently lobulated and non-adherent to peri-thyroid structures.

Coexistent nodular hyperplasia
![Page 30: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5560e1fed8b42a086e8b4b5e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Microscopically, there is a diffuse process consisting of a combination of epithelial cell destruction, lymphoid cellular infiltration, and fibrosis.
The thyroid cells tend to be slightly larger and assume an acidophilic staining character; they are then called Hurthle or Askanazy cells and are packed with mitochondria.
The follicular spaces shrink, and colloid is absent or sparse. Fibrosis may be completely absent or present in degrees ranging from slight to moderate;
In children, oxyphilia and fibrosis are less prominent, and hyperplasia of epithelial cells may be marked.

In 1912 ,Hashimoto described four patients with a chronic disorder of the thyroid, which he termed struma lymphomatosa. The thyroid glands of these patients were characterized by diffuse lymphocytic infiltration, fibrosis, parenchymal atrophy, and an eosinophilic change in some of the acinar cells.

MANAGEMENTNo cure or way to know the time duration till
how much the disease will last.Thyroid replacement medications.In patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and a
large goiter, thyrotropin-suppressing doses of levothyroxine sodium can be given over the short term (i.e., six months) to decrease the size of the goiter.
In most patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (whether euthyroid or hypothyroid), goiter size will decrease by 30% aftr 6 mths of therapy with levothyroxine sodium
