| | The Thyroid Hormone |
 | | The symptoms of hypothyroidism usually arise from the sluggish behavior of another organ or system within the body. | | | Most people go to their doctors with some idea of what's wrong with them--"My neck hurts," "This wart won't go away," "My allergies are acting up." But I've yet to have a patient say to me, "Dr. Smith, my thyroid gland is bothering me." It's always something else. | | | One of my patients, Ellen, said that she felt cold all the time. |

| | However, all goiters should be monitored by examination and biopsy for possible malignant transformation, which may be signaled by a sudden change in size, pain, or consistency. | | | Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established. | | | Use of radioactive iodine for the therapy of nontoxic goiter has been disappointing and is controversial. |

| | The variable clinical phenotype in thyroid hormone resistance syndrome. |
| | However, a review of the literature and our own experience indicates that there is a wide overlap of symptoms and signs exhibited by individuals with GRTH or PRTH. | | | Nevertheless, this clinical distinction will remain useful as a guide to the most appropriate treatment. | | | The variable clinical phenotype in thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.On the basis of clinical features, at least two different forms of RTH have been described: generalized resistance (GRTH) in which patients are asymptomatic with few clinical signs and pituitary resistance (PRTH) where patients present with some signs and symptoms associated with thyrotoxicosis. |

| | Thyroid hormone resistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Antibodies to thyroid hormones quite commonly occur in such disorders, and may interfere with the normal clinical assays used in monitoring such disorders, and in unusual cases may have further independent clinical significance. | | | The characteristic blood test results for this disorder can also be found in other disorders (for example TSH-oma (pituitary adenoma), or other pituitary disorders). | | | Sometimes the phrase thyroid hormone resistance is used to identify cases where patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders respond poorly to normal doses of replacement thyroid hormone, this is thought to occur where patients have developed antibodies to thyroid hormones. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: TSH |
| | If you are being treated for a thyroid disorder, your TSH should be between 0.3 and 3.0 mIU/L. This means that you are being treated appropriately. | | | These hormones feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate the release of both TSH and TRH. | | | Some people with a TSH value over 2.5 mIU/L who have no signs (that is, no other abnormal thyroid function tests) or symptoms suggestive of an under-active thyroid may develop hypothyroidism sometime in the future. |

| | Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | TSH levels are tested in patients suspected of thyroid disease. | | | Higher than normal levels of TSH may indicate congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism), hypothyroidism or thyroid hormone resistance. | | | The hypothalamus produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH. |
