Long-term outcome of thyroid function after amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis, as compared to subacute thyroiditis.
BACKGROUND: Two main forms of amiodarone- induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) exist: type 1 AIT is a condition of true hyperthyroidism developing in patients with pre-existing thyroid disorders, and usually requires thyroid ablative treatment. On the other hand, type 2 AIT is a form of destructive thyroiditis occurring in normal thyroids, the management of which usually consists in glucocorticoid treatment. AIM: To assess the long-term outcome of thyroid function in a prospective study of type 2 AIT patients, as compared to patients with De Quervain's subacute thyroiditis (SAT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty consecutive patients with type 2 AIT were evaluated during oral glucocorticoid treatment (oral prednisone 30 mg/day, gradually tapered and withdrawn over a 3-month period) and followed for 38+/-4 months (range 6-72) thereafter. Sixty consecutive patients with SAT, referred to our Institutes during the same period and treated with the same therapeutic schedule, served as controls. RESULTS: Type 2 AIT patients were older (p<0.0001) and showed a larger male preponderance (M:F 3.6:1 vs 0.5:1, p<0.0001) than SAT patients. Mean serum free T4 (FT4) and free T3 (FT3) concentrations at diagnosis were increased in both conditions, but higher in type 2 AIT than in SAT (FT4 47.6+/-18.8 and 29.6+/-8.3 pmol/l, respectively, p<0.0001; FT3 15.4+/-7.0 and 11.2+/-3.0 pmol/l, respectively, p<0.001). Correction of thyrotoxicosis was obtained in all patients in both groups, but restoration of euthyroidism occurred earlier in SAT than in type 2 AIT (p=0.006). Ten type 2 AIT patients (17%) and 3 SAT patients (5%, p<0.03) became permanently hypothyroid after glucocorticoid withdrawal and required levothyroxine replacement. CONCLUSIONS: A relevant proportion of type 2 AIT patients develop permanent hypothyroidism after correction of thyrotoxicosis. Thus, periodic surveillance of thyroid status is required after type 2 AIT.

An update on medical management of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), the most frequent extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, is a disorder of autoimmune origin, the pathogenic mechanisms of which are still incompletely understood. Although GO is severe in only 3-5% of affected individuals, quality of life is severely impaired even in patients with mild GO. Management of severe GO can be either medical or surgical (orbital decompression, eye muscle or lid surgery). Medical management relies on the use of high-dose systemic glucocorticoids or orbital radiotherapy, either alone or in combination. Studies carried out in the last 5 yr have shown that glucocorticoids are more effective through the i.v. route than through the oral route. However, particular attention should be paid to possible liver toxicity of i.v. glucocorticoids. Recent randomized clinical trials have, with one exception, confirmed that orbital radiotherapy is an effective and safe therapeutic procedure for GO. At variance with previous encouraging data, recent randomized clinical trials have shown that currently available SS analogs are not very effective in the management of GO. Antioxidants might have a role, at least in mild forms of GO. Particular attention should be paid to correction of risk factors (cigarette smoking, thyroid dysfunction, radioiodine therapy) involved in GO progression.

Relationship between management of hyperthyroidism and course of the ophthalmopathy.
The relationship between treatment for hyperthyroidism and course of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) has been and still is a matter of debate. Literature often presents conflicting data, due to several influencing factors, such as selection bias, nonrandomized and uncontrolled or retrospective features of many studies, nonstandardized evaluation of ocular changes. However, it seems clear that neither antithyroid drug treatment nor thyroidectomy affect the natural course of GO, while radioiodine therapy may cause, in about 15% of cases, GO progression. The latter is more likely in patients who smoke, have pre-existing GO and more severe hyperthyroidism, or whose post-radioiodine hypothyroidism is not promptly corrected by L-thyroxine. GO progression after radioiodine therapy can be prevented by concomitantly treating patients with glucocorticoids, thus making radioiodine therapy a safe procedure also in GO patients. The presence of GO should not, therefore, influence the choice of treatment for hyperthyroidism. Should antithyroid drug treatment or thyroidectomy be selected for patients with mild ophthalmopathy, no treatment for GO is necessary, while a short course of moderate doses of glucocorticoids is advised if radioiodine therapy is chosen. In patients with severe GO, treatment of hyperthyroidism and management of GO proceed independently of each other, and either definitive (radioiodine or thyroidectomy) or conservative (antithyroid drugs) treatment for hyperthyroidism can be selected while treating GO. The authors' preference goes to the former, because it depletes intrathyroidal autoreactive T lymphocytes and removes thyroid antigens, which are likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune reactions of the ophthalmopathy.

Iopanoic acid rapidly controls type I amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis prior to thyroidectomy.
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) may develop either in apparently normal thyroid glands (Type II AIT) or in the presence of sub-clinical thyroid abnormalities (either autonomous goiter or latent Graves' disease; Type I AIT). Mixed forms also occur. While Type I AIT is due to iodine-induced excess thyroid hormone synthesis, Type II AIT is a form of amiodarone (possibly iodine) -induced destructive thyroiditis. Type I AIT is usually treated by combined thionamide and potassium perchlorate therapy, but may be resistant to therapy. On the other hand, Type II AIT often responds favorably to glucocorticoids and may not require further therapy once euthyroidism has been restored. Not infrequently, however, AIT (especially Type I) is resistant to conventional treatment, and several weeks or months may elapse before euthyroidism is restored. Thyroidectomy has been carried out in Type I AIT patients, but thyroid surgery in thyrotoxic patients, especially those with underlying cardiac problems, carries a high surgical risk. In this study we describe 3 patients with Type I AIT, who were successfully treated with a short course of iopanoic acid (IOP), an oral cholecystographic agent, which is rich in iodine and is a potent inhibitor of 5'-deiodinase, resulting in a marked decrease in the peripheral tissue conversion of T4 to T3, in preparation for thyroid surgery. Euthyroidism was rapidly restored in 7-12 days, allowing a subsequent safe and uneventful thyroidectomy in all cases. These patients were then treated with L-T4 for their hypothyroidism and amiodarone was safely re-instituted. We suggest that IOP is the drug of choice in the rapid restoration of euthyroidism prior to definitive thyroidectomy in patients with drug resistant Type I AIT.

Comparison of the effectiveness and tolerability of intravenous or oral glucocorticoids associated with orbital radiotherapy in the management of severe Graves' ophthalmopathy: results of a prospective, single-blind, randomized study.
Eighty-two consecutive patients with moderate-to-severe and active Graves' ophthalmopathy were randomly treated with orbital radiotherapy combined with either oral (prednisone; starting dose, 100 mg/d; withdrawal after 5 months) or iv (methylprednisolone; 15 mg/kg for four cycles and then 7.5 mg/kg for four cycles; each cycle consisted of two infusions on alternate days at 2-wk intervals) glucocorticoids. The two groups did not differ for age, gender, duration of hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy, prevalence of smokers, thyroid volume, and pretreatment ocular conditions. Both groups of patients received radioiodine therapy shortly before treatment for Graves' ophthalmopathy. Follow-up lasted for 12 months. A significant reduction in proptosis (from 23.2 +/- 3.0 to 21.6 +/- 1.2 mm in the iv glucocorticoid group, P < 0.0001; and from 23 +/- 1.8 to 21.7 +/- 1.8 mm in oral glucocorticoid group, P < 0.0001) and in lid width (from 13.3 +/- 2.5 to 11.8 +/- 2.2 mm, and from 13.6 +/- 2.0 to 11.5 +/- 1.9 mm, respectively; P < 0.001 in both cases) occurred, with no difference between the two groups. Diplopia significantly improved in both groups: it disappeared in 13 of 27 (48.1%) iv glucocorticoid patients (P < 0.005) and in 12 of 33 (36.4%) oral glucocorticoid patients (P < 0.03). The degree of amelioration of diplopia did not significantly differ between the two groups (P = 0.82). Optic neuropathy improved in 11 of 14 iv glucocorticoid (P < 0.01) and only in 3 of 9 oral glucocorticoid (P = 0.57) patients, with no significant difference in these outcomes. The Clinical Activity Score decreased from 4.5 +/- 1.2 to 1.7 +/- 1.0 (P < 0.0001) in the iv glucocorticoid group and from 4.2 +/- 1.1 to 2.2 +/- 1.2 (P < 0.0001) in the oral glucocorticoid group; final Clinical Activity Score was significantly lower in iv glucocorticoid than in oral glucocorticoid patients (P < 0.01). By self-assessment evaluation, 35 (85.3%) iv glucocorticoid and 30 (73.2%) oral glucocorticoid patients reported an improvement of ocular conditions (P = 0.27). Overall, both treatments produced favorable effects in most patients, but responders in the iv glucocorticoid group (36 of 41, 87.8%) were more than in the oral glucocorticoid group (26 of 41, 63.4%) (P < 0.02). Moreover, iv glucocorticoid treatment was better tolerated than oral glucocorticoid treatment. Side effects occurred in 23 (56.1%) iv glucocorticoid and 35 (85.4%) oral glucocorticoid patients (P < 0.01); in particular, cushingoid features developed in 5 of the former and 35 of the latter patients. One iv glucocorticoid patient had severe hepatitis of undetermined origin at the end of glucocorticoid treatment, followed by spontaneous recovery. In conclusion, high-dose iv glucocorticoid and oral glucocorticoid (associated with orbital radiotherapy) are effective in the management of severe Graves' ophthalmopathy, but the iv route seems to be more effective and better tolerated than the oral route and associated with a lower rate of side effects.

Soluble interleukin-1 receptor antagonist concentration in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy is neither related to cigarette smoking nor predictive of subsequent response to glucocorticoids.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate serum soluble interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (sIL-1RA) concentration and its relationship with the degree of cigarette smoking in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Twenty-two consecutive GO patients (20 women, two men; age range 25-68 years, mean 48 years; 12 smokers, 10 non-smokers) submitted to IV glucocorticoid pulses over a 3-month period. MEASUREMENTS: sIL-1RA levels were measured by an immunoenzymatic assay (sensitivity, 4 ng/l; normal range, 50-290 ng/l) before glucocorticoid treatment, after two months of therapy, and 3 months after drug withdrawal. RESULTS: Thirteen patients responded to treatment (59%; five smokers and eight non-smokers), nine were non-responders (41%; seven smokers and two non-smokers). Baseline median sIL-1RA concentration did not differ in smokers and non-smokers (222 and 173 ng/l, respectively; P = 0.69). Likewise, no significant differences were found between the two groups during treatment (537 and 389 ng/l, respectively; P = 0.28); sIL-1RA concentration after treatment was higher in smokers (258 vs. 94 ng/l; P = 0.02). There was no correlation between basal sIL-1RA levels and the degree of cigarette smoking. Likewise, there was no difference in sIL-1RA levels in responders and non-responders, either at baseline (186 vs. 216 ng/l; P = 0.83), during or after treatment. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that circulating soluble interleukin-1 receptor antagonist levels, both at baseline and during glucocorticoid treatment, are neither influenced by cigarette smoking nor predictive of subsequent response to glucocorticoid treatment.

The course of Graves' ophthalmopathy is not influenced by near total thyroidectomy: a case-control study.
OBJECTIVE: The relationship between the method of treatment of hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease and the course of Graves' ophthalmopathy is debated. Antithyroid drug therapy is associated with no change, or even amelioration, of ophthalmopathy. Although controversial, radioiodine may be followed by progression of eye disease, preventable by glucocorticoid administration. Whether thyroidectomy affects the course of ophthalmopathy is uncertain. DESIGN: In a case control study, the course of non-severe Graves' ophthalmopathy after thyroidectomy was investigated and the results compared with those observed in patients treated with methimazole. PATIENTS: Thirty patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism and non-severe/absent ophthalmopathy were treated with near-total thyroidectomy (Group 1, Tx), after achievement of euthyroidism with methimazole. After surgery, all patients started levothyroxine replacement therapy. Sixty patients treated with methimazole, matched for age, sex, duration of hyperthyroidism, degree of ocular involvement and smoking habits, were used as controls (Group 2, MMI). MEASUREMENTS: Patients were seen every 1-2 months for 12 months for thyroid tests and ocular evaluation. RESULTS: In Group 1, ocular parameters did not change in 17 of 18 patients with pre-existing ophthalmopathy, and in 12 patients without ophthalmopathy. Eye manifestations worsened only in one (3.3%) patient with pre-existing ophthalmopathy. In Group 2, ocular parameters did not change in 58 patients (33 with, and 25 without ophthalmopathy), while new ophthalmopathy occurred in two without pre-existing eye disease. One of the 30 patients treated by surgery (3.3%) had permanent hypoparathyroidism. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of Graves' hyperthyroidism with near-total thyroidectomy in patients with non-severe or absent pre-existing ophthalmopathy is not associated in the short term with significant effects on the course of ophthalmopathy.

Thyroid vascularity and blood flow are not dependent on serum thyroid hormone levels: studies in vivo by color flow doppler sonography.
OBJECTIVE: Thyroid blood flow is greatly enhanced in untreated Graves' disease, but it is not known whether it is due to thyroid hormone excess or to thyroid hyperstimulation by TSH-receptor antibody. To address this issue in vivo patients with different thyroid disorders were submitted to color flow doppler sonography (CFDS). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We investigated 24 normal subjects, and 78 patients with untreated hyperthyroidism (49 with Graves' hyperthyroidism, 24 with toxic adenoma, and 5 patients with TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma (TSHoma)), 19 patients with thyrotoxicosis (7 with thyrotoxicosis factitia, and 12 with subacute thyroiditis), 37 euthyroid patients with goitrous Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and 21 untreated hypothyroid patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. RESULTS: Normal subjects had CFDS pattern 0 (absent or minimal intraparenchimal spots) and mean intraparenchimal peak systolic velocity (PSV) of 4.8+/-1.2cm/s. Patients with spontaneous hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease, TSHoma, and toxic adenoma had significantly increased PSV (P<0.0001, P=0.0004, P<0.0001 respectively vs controls) and CFDS pattern. Patients with Graves' disease had CFDS pattern II (mild increase of color flow doppler signal) in 10 (20%) and pattern III (marked increase) in 39 cases (80%). Mean PSV was 15+/-3cm/s. Patients with toxic adenoma had CFDS pattern I (presence of parenchymal blood flow with patchy uneven distribution) in 2 (8%), pattern II in 16 (70%) and pattern III in 5 (22%). Mean PSV was 11+/-2.4cm/s. Patients with TSHoma showed CFDS pattern I in one case (20%) and pattern II in 4 (80%). Mean PSV was 14.8+/-4.2cm/s. Patients with thyrotoxicosis had normal PSV (4.2+/-1. 1cm/s in subacute thyroiditis, 4+/-0.8cm/s in thyrotoxicosis factitia, P=not significant vs controls) and CFDS pattern 0. Untreated euthyroid patients with goitrous Hashimoto's thyroiditis had CFDS pattern 0, and mean PSV (4.3+/-0.9cm/s; P=not significant vs controls). Untreated hypothyroid patients with goitrous Hashimoto's thyroiditis had CFDS pattern I in 14 cases (67%), pattern II in 4 (19%) and pattern 0 in 3 (14%) and mean PSV (5.6+/-1. 4cm/s) was higher than that of controls (P=0.026). CONCLUSIONS: An increase in both intrathyroidal vascularity and blood velocity was observed in patients with spontaneous hyperthyroidism but not in thyrotoxicosis due to either ingestion of thyroid hormones or to a thyroidal destructive process. The slightly increased vascularity and blood velocity observed in patients with hypothyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis suggests that thyroid stimulation by either TSH-receptor antibody or TSH is responsible for the increased thyroid blood flow.

Graves' ophthalmopathy and 131I therapy.
Graves' ophthalmopathy is an autoimmune process initiated and maintained by antigen(s) shared by the thyroid and the orbit. A matter of argument concerns the choice of the method of treatment for Graves' hyperthyroidism when clinically evident ophthalmopathy is present. Restoration of euthyroidism appears to be beneficial for ophthalmopathy. On the other hand the continuing disease activity associated with the recurrence of hyperthyroidism appears to adversely affect the course of ophthalmopathy. For these reasons it is our opinion that in patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy the permanent control of thyroid hyperfunction by ablation of thyroid tissue should be obtained by radioiodine therapy or thyroidectomy. The rationale for an ablative strategy is the following: i) permanent control of hyperthyroidism avoids exacerbations of eye disease associated with recurrence of hyperthyroidism; ii) hypothyroidism, which follows thyroid tissue ablation, should be regarded as a therapeutic end point rather than as an undesirable result; iii) ablation of thyroid tissue may result in the removal of both the thyroid-orbit cross-reacting antigen(s) and the major source of thyroid-autoreactive lymphocytes. The relationship between radioiodine therapy and the course of GO is a matter of controversy, and some authors have suggested that radioiodine administration may be associated with a worsening of preexisting ophthalmopathy. This was not observed when radioiodine treatment was associated with a 3-month oral course of prednisone. The development or progression of GO after radioiodine therapy might be due to the release of thyroid antigens following radiation injury and to subsequent exacerbations of autoimmune reactions directed towards antigens shared by the thyroid and the orbit. The view that radioiodine therapy may be associated with a progression of ophthalmopathy is not shared by some authors who claim that the apparent link between progression of ophthalmopathy and radioiodine therapy might simply be coincidental, reflecting the natural history of the disease. The radioiodine-associated exacerbation of eye disease might be used as an argument against the use of radioiodine therapy in patients with ophthalmopathy. We do not share this view, since the outward effects of radioiodine on eye disease can easily be prevented by concomitant administration of glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoid treatment should be limited, in our opinion, to patients with clinically evident eye disease and to those without ophthalmopathy but with other known risk factors, such as smoking.

[Orbital decompression in Grave's disease: comparison of techniques].
Grave's ophthalmopathy is an inflammatory, autoimmune disorder often associated with Grave's disease. The inflammatory infiltration involves the retrobulbar fatty tissue and the extrinsic eye muscles, causing proptosis, extraocular muscle dysfunction and often diplopia. Orbital decompression is an effective treatment in such cases, particularly when resistant to drugs and external radiation therapy. This work compares the results of orbital decompression performed by removing: a) the medial and lateral walls (Mourits technique) in 10 patients (19 orbits) and b) the medial and lower walls (Walsh-Ogura technique) in 17 patients (31 orbits). The results show that removing the floor of the orbit enables better reduction of proptosis but more easily leads to post-operative diplopia. Thus it proves necessary to combine the two techniques, modifying the surgical approach on a case-by-case basis.

Cigarette smoking and treatment outcomes in Graves ophthalmopathy.
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether smoking affects the course of Graves ophthalmopathy and therapeutic outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To observe smoking behavior in a randomized study of the effect of radioiodine therapy on ophthalmopathy and in a case series of patients with Graves ophthalmopathy receiving orbital radiation therapy and glucocorticoids. DESIGN: Randomized, single-blind study of smoking and mild ophthalmopathy after radioiodine therapy (study 1) and a retrospective cohort study of the association between smoking and response of severe ophthalmopathy to treatment (study 2). SETTING: University medical center. PATIENTS: 300 patients with mild ophthalmopathy (study 1) and 150 patients with severe ophthalmopathy (study 2). INTERVENTION: In study 1, patients received radioiodine alone or radioiodine and a 3-month course of oral prednisone (initial dosage, 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight per day). In study 2, patients received high-dose oral prednisone for 6 months (initial dosage, 80 to 100 mg/d) and underwent orbital radiation therapy by linear accelerator (cumulative dose, 20 Gy per eye over 2 weeks). MEASUREMENTS: Degree of ophthalmopathy was assessed by overall evaluation (inflammatory changes, proptosis, extraocular muscle dysfunction, corneal involvement, and optic neuropathy). RESULTS: In study 1, ophthalmopathy progressed in 4 of 68 nonsmokers (5.9% [95% CI, 3% to 9%]) and 19 of 82 smokers (23.2% [CI, 13% to 33%]) who received radioiodine alone (P = 0.007). Ophthalmopathy was alleviated in 37 of 58 nonsmokers (63.8% [CI, 51% to 78%]) and 13 of 87 smokers (14.9% [CI, 10% to 26%]) who received radioiodine plus prednisone (P < 0.001). In study 2, 61 of 65 nonsmokers (93.8% [CI, 90% to 98%]) and 58 of 85 smokers (68.2% [CI, 57% to 78%]) responded to treatment (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Cigarette smoking increases the risk for progression of ophthalmopathy after radioiodine therapy and decreases the efficacy of orbital radiation therapy and glucocorticoid therapy.

Relation between therapy for hyperthyroidism and the course of Graves' ophthalmopathy.
BACKGROUND: The chief clinical characteristics of Graves' disease are hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy. The relation between the two and the effect of treatment for hyperthyroidism on ophthalmopathy are unclear. METHODS: We studied 443 patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism and slight or no ophthalmopathy who were randomly assigned to receive radioiodine, radioiodine followed by a 3-month course of prednisone, or methimazole for 18 months. The patients were evaluated for changes in the function and appearance of the thyroid and progression of ophthalmopathy at intervals of 1 to 2 months for 12 months. Hypothyroidism and persistent nyperthyroiaism were promptly corrected. RESULTS: Among the 150 patients treated with radioiodine, ophthalmopathy developed or worsened in 23 (15 percent) two to six months after treatment. The change was transient in 15 patients, but it persisted in 8 (5 percent), who subsequently required treatment for their eye disease. None of the 55 other patients in this group who had ophthalmopathy at base line had improvement in their eye disease. Among the 145 patients treated with radioiodine and prednisone, 50 (67 percent) of the 75 with ophthalmopathy at base line had improvement, and no patient had progression. The effects of radioiodine on thyroid function were similar in these two groups. Among the 148 patients treated with methimazole, 3 (2 percent) who had ophthalmopathy at base line improved, 4 (3 percent) had worsening of eye disease, and the remaining 141 had no change. CONCLUSIONS: Radioiodine therapy for Graves' hyperthyroidism is followed by the appearance or worsening of ophthalmopathy more often than is therapy with methimazole. Worsening of ophthalmopathy after radioiodine therapy is often transient and can be prevented by the administration of prednisone.

Graves' hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy associated with pemphigus vulgaris: onset of thyroid autoimmune disease during chronic low-dose glucocorticoid therapy.
A 38-year-old caucasian woman developed typical Graves' hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy while being chronically treated for pemphigus vulgaris with low doses of glucocorticoids capable of effectively controlling skin disease. HLA typing showed positivity for DR3 and DR4, suggesting a genetic susceptibility for both Graves' disease and pemphigus vulgaris. The apparent contradiction whereby thyroid autoimmune disease flared up during therapy with glucocorticoids, known for their immunosuppressive effects, may be related to the dose of steroids. It is possible that high doses of glucocorticoids, commonly employed in the treatment of severe Graves' ophthalmopathy, might indeed suppress the disease, whereas the low doses used in this patient might precipitate or aggravate it.
