Abstract

Hyperthyroidism may result from excessive synthesis for thyroid hormones, from leaking of stored hormones in inflammatory thyroid disease, or from the inappropriate ingestion of thyroid hormones or iodine containing drugs. An overview of the clinical picture and the different types of hyperthyroidism as well as the various approaches used in the diagnostic work-up and in the therapy of hyperthyroidism is presented.

Rapid and high-performance analysis of thyreostatic drug residues in urine using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A more sensitive method was developed using the hyphenated technique of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) supplementary to the official high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method. Even combined with less efficient extraction and clean-up methods, GC-MS is able to lower the detection limit to less than 50 ppb. The powerful technique of GC-MS-MS is tried out to reduce the detection limit even more, in combination with simplified extraction methods. This time-saving approach combined with the increase in sensitivity is of great importance for a routine technique.

Treatment options for hyperthyroidism.

Antithyroid drugs induce sustained remission in only 55% of cases. Radioiodine, the overwhelming choice of specialists, may pose risks, including aggravation of ophthalmopathy. Surgical ablation should be considered only if a highly skilled surgeon is available. Thyroid storm requires aggressive management, and definitive treatment is needed for toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter.
