Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Hyperthyreosis, diabetes and calcium disorders are frequent endocrine diseases that are often encountered by the primary care physician. The diagnosis of hyperthyreosis can be established by many different laboratory and analytical tests. However, the clinical context can often guide a specific diagnostic approach. Graves disease and toxic adenomas are the most frequent causes of hyperthyreosis. Diagnosis of Graves disease is most frequent between age 35 and 60 and about 10-20% of patients show already initially signs of endocrine orbithopathy. Measurement of thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) is especially valuable in unclear cases. Toxic adenomas are always diagnosed by thyroid uptake studies. Rare causes of hyperthyreosis include thyreoiditis, which is characterized by transient hyperthyreosis (<2 months), and thyrotoxicosis factitia. Here, we discuss diagnosis and therapy of different causes of hyperthyreosis based on three clinical examples.
