CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
SKIN — The skin is warm (and may rarely be erythematous) in hyperthyroidism due to increased
blood flow; it is also smooth because of a decrease in the keratin layer.
Other changes include:
Sweating, which increases due to increased calorigenesis; this is often associated with heat intolerance
Onycholysis (loosening of the nails from the nail bed, Plummer's nails) and softening of the nails
Hyperpigmentation, which can occur in severe cases; it appears to be mediated by accelerated cortisol
metabolism, leading to increased corticotropin (ACTH) secretion
Pruritus and hives, which are occasional findings, primarily in patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism
Vitiligo and alopecia areata, which can occur in association with autoimmune disorders
Thinning of the hair
Plummers Nails
Vitiligo and
alopecia areata
Graves’ Dermopathy
– Thickening and redness of the dermis
• Due to lymphocytic infiltration
– Distribution
• Pretibial (93.3%),
• Pretibial+ feet (4.3%),
• Pretibial + UE (1.1%).
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
EYES — Stare and lid lag occur in all patients with hyperthyroidism. They are due to sympathetic
overactivity, possibly mediated by increased alpha-adrenergic receptors in some tissues. Lid lag is
evaluated by having the patient follow the examiner's finger as it is moved up and down. The patient has
lid lag if sclera can be seen above the iris as the patient looks downward.
As noted above, only patients with Graves' disease have ophthalmopathy. It is characterized by
inflammation of the extraocular muscles and orbital fat and connective tissue, which results in proptosis
(exophthalmos), impairment of eye-muscle function, and periorbital and conjunctival edema.
Ophthalmopathy is more common in patients who smoke cigarettes.
Lid Retraction
Exopthalmus
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
CARDIOVASCULAR — Patients with hyperthyroidism have an increase in cardiac
output, due both to increased peripheral oxygen needs and increased cardiac
contractility.
Heart rate is increased, pulse pressure is widened, and peripheral vascular resistance
is decreased. Systolic hypertension is common.
The left ventricular ejection fraction does not increase appropriately during exercise,
suggesting the presence of a true cardiomyopathy. High- or normal-output congestive heart
failure can occur in patients with severe hyperthyroidism and congestive heart failure
worsens in patients who already have it.
Atrial fibrillation occurs in 10 to 20 percent of patients with hyperthyroidism, and is more
common in elderly patients.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
METABOLIC / ENDOCRINE
Serum lipids — Patients with hyperthyroidism tend to have low serum total and high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations and a low total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio. These
values increase after treatment.
Hyperglycemia — Although thyroxine is not a counterregulatory hormone, hyperthyroidism can
interfere with glucose metabolism. It is associated with both increased sensitivity of pancreatic beta
cells to glucose, resulting in increased insulin secretion, and antagonism to the peripheral action of
insulin. The latter effect usually predominates, leading to impaired glucose tolerance in untreated
patients.
Adrenal function — Interpretation of the cortisol response to ACTH stimulation testing may be
misleading in patients with hyperthyroidism because cortisol binding globulin (CBG) levels decrease,
resulting in lower total serum cortisol concentrations. In one report of 49 hyperthyroid patients
undergoing ACTH testing, 35 percent had subnormal total serum cortisol values (<18 mcg/dL), while
only 11 percent had a subnormal free cortisol index (ratio of serum total cortisol to CBG)
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
RESPIRATORY — Dyspnea and dyspnea on exertion may occur for
many reasons in hyperthyroidism:
Oxygen consumption and CO2 production increase. These changes result in hypoxemia
and hypercapnia, respectively, both of which stimulate ventilation.
Respiratory muscle weakness is an important cause of dyspnea, and reduced exercise
capacity may be largely due to respiratory muscle weakness and decreased lung
volume.
There may be tracheal obstruction from a large goiter.
Hyperthyroidism may exacerbate underlying asthma.
Pulmonary arterial systolic pressure is increased.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
GASTROINTESTINAL — Weight loss is due primarily to increased metabolic rate
(hypermetabolism), and secondarily to increased gut motility and the associated hyperdefecation
and malabsorption; rare patients have steatorrhea. Celiac disease is also more prevalent in
patients with Graves' disease. Most patients have hyperphagia, but an occasional patient with
mild hyperthyroidism may have sufficient appetite stimulation that weight is gained (more
commonly in younger patients). Anorexia may be prominent in elderly hyperthyroid patients.
Other changes that may occur include:
Vomiting and abdominal pain, rarely
Dysphagia due to goiter
Abnormalities in liver function tests, particularly high serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations and,
rarely, cholestasis
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
HEMATOLOGIC — The red blood cell mass is increased in hyperthyroidism,
but the plasma volume is increased more, resulting in a normochromic,
normocytic anemia.
Serum ferritin concentrations may be high.
Graves' hyperthyroidism may be associated with autoimmune hematologic
disorders such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and pernicious anemia,
and some patients have antineutrophil antibodies.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
GENITOURINARY — Urinary frequency and nocturia are common in hyperthyroidism, although the
mechanism is uncertain. Possible causes include primary polydipsia and hypercalciuria. Enuresis is common
in children.
In women, serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations are high, which results in high
serum estradiol concentrations and low-normal serum free (unbound) estradiol concentrations, high
serum luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations, a reduced mid-cycle surge in LH secretion,
oligomenorrhea, and anovulatory infertility. Amenorrhea can occur in women with severe
hyperthyroidism.
In men, the increase in serum SHBG concentrations results in high serum total testosterone
concentrations, but serum free (unbound) testosterone concentrations are normal or low. Serum LH
concentrations may be slightly high. Extragonadal conversion of testosterone to estradiol is increased, so
that serum estradiol concentrations are high. These changes can cause gynecomastia, reduced libido, and
erectile dysfunction. Spermatogenesis is often decreased or abnormal, eg, more spermatozoa are abnormal
or non-motile
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
BONE — Thyroid hormone stimulates bone resorption, resulting in increased porosity of
cortical bone and reduced volume of trabecular bone. The loss in cortical bone density is
greater than that of trabecular bone.
Serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin concentrations are high, indicative of increased
bone turnover.
The increase in bone resorption may lead to an increase in serum calcium concentrations,
thereby inhibiting parathyroid hormone secretion and the conversion of calcidiol (25-
hydroxyvitamin D) to calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D).
Graves' disease may also be associated with thyroid acropathy, with clubbing and periosteal
new bone formation in the metacarpal bones or phalanges.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF
HYPERTHYROIDISM IN ADULTS
NEUROPSYCHIATRIC — Patients with thyrotoxicosis may experience behavioral and
personality changes, such as psychosis, agitation, and depression.
Less overt manifestations that are more common in less severe thyrotoxicosis include
anxiety, restlessness, irritability, and emotional lability. Insomnia is also common.
Symptoms often worsen in patients with preexisting psychiatric disorders.
These behavioral manifestations are accompanied by cognitive impairments, particularly
impaired concentration, confusion, poor orientation and immediate recall, amnesia, and
constructional difficulties.

Laboratory Findings
Suatu penyakit autoimun yang biasanya ditandai oleh produksi autoantibodi yang memiliki
kerja mirip TSH pada kelenjar tiroid.
Autoantibodi IgG ini, yang disebut immunooglobulin perangsang tiroid (Thyroid-Stimulating
Immunoglobulin) sehingga meningkatkan pembentukan hormon tiroid
Etiologi
Adanya autoantibodi kerja mirip TSH (reseptor TSH) di
membran sel folikel tiroid. Autoantibodi IgG ini, yang
disebut immunooglobulin perangsang tiroid (Thyroid-
Stimulating Immunoglobulin), thyroid peroksidase
antibodies (TPO), dan TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb)
yang menyebabkan perangsangan produksi hormon tiroid
secara terus menerus, sehingga kadar hormon tiroid
menjadi tinggi.
