Postpartum Thyroiditis: When Should Treatment Be Started?

The first year after giving birth may cause a temporary thyroid condition, which is known as postpartum thyroiditis. It is when the thyroid gland becomes inflamed, leading to changes in thyroid hormone levels. A few women have only one phase, or some go through a phase of hyperthyroidism followed by a phase of hypothyroidism. Postpartum thyroiditis can sometimes be overlooked, since there can be similar symptoms to those that occur during normal postpartum hormone fluctuations. It is crucial to know when to check the condition and when to seek treatment.

Subclinical Hypothyroidism: Is Treatment Necessary or Is Monitoring Enough?

Blood tests are usually the method used to detect subclinical hypothyroidism, as the condition is typically not noticed by clinical signs and symptoms. This is typically seen as subclinical hypothyroidism (high TSH, normal free T4). TSH is made by the pituitary and tells the thyroid to make thyroid hormones. The thyroid gradually becomes less efficient, and the body will attempt to make ever larger amounts of TSH to get the thyroid to do its job. Some patients with mild hypothyroidism might find that they feel tired, cold, constipated, and have dry skin, or none of the above.

Radioactive Iodine Therapy: How It Works and How Safe Is It?

Radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) is a type of treatment for the thyroid that is used in nuclear medicine. It employs radioactive iodine, most frequently iodine-131 (I-131), which gets absorbed by thyroid cells. Radioiodine is naturally absorbed by thyroid cells and can therefore provide thyroid tissue with radiation. It is believed this helps slow and/or eliminate thyroid cells overproducing thyroid hormone or, in selected patients, remaining iodine-avid thyroid cancer cells.

Free T3 vs Total T3: Which Test Is More Accurate?

Thyroid function tests are useful for the management of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and other thyroid disorders. Thyroid tests commonly discussed include Free T3 (FT3) and Total T3. Both measures reflect the blood levels of the hormone triiodothyronine (T3) but provide distinct information about T3 levels in the blood. One question many ask is whether Free T3 is a more accurate measurement than Total T3. It's not strictly up to just one or the other. The value of each test depends on the clinical setting, the laboratory technique used, and other thyroid test results, especially TSH and Free T4.
