[[Hashimoto's thyroiditis]] must be differentiated from other causes of [[thyroiditis]], such as [[De Quervain's thyroiditis]], [[Riedel's thyroiditis]], and suppurative thyroiditis. | [[Hashimoto's thyroiditis]] must be differentiated from other causes of [[thyroiditis]], such as [[De Quervain's thyroiditis]], [[Riedel's thyroiditis]], and suppurative thyroiditis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis must also be differentiated from other diseases which cause [[hypothyroidism]]. As Hashimoto's thyroiditis may cause transient thyrotoxic symptoms, the diseases causing [[thyrotoxicosis]] must also be considered in the differential diagnosis. | ||

Overview
Hashimoto's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as De Quervain's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis must also be differentiated from other diseases which cause hypothyroidism. As Hashimoto's thyroiditis may cause transient thyrotoxic symptoms, the diseases causing thyrotoxicosis must also be considered in the differential diagnosis.
Differentiating Hashimoto's Thyroiditis from other Diseases
Differentiating Hashimoto's thyroiditis from other causes of thyroiditis
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as De Quervain's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis.[1]
Conditions | Causes | Age at onset | Pathological findings | Diagnostic approach |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hashimoto's thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Painful subacute (De Quervain's) thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Silent thyroiditis |
|

|
Postpartum thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|

|
|
Suppurative thyroiditis |

Differentiating Hashimoto's thyroiditis from other causes of hypothyroidism
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of hypothyroidism on the basis of history and symptoms and laboratory findings:[2][3][1][4][5][6]

(†)T3RU; Triiodothyronine Resin uptake. (^)TPOAb; Thyroid peroxidase antibodies. (*)TSH may be decreased transiently in the thyrotoxicosis. (**)TPOAb may be present in drug-induced hypo/hyperthyroidism such as Interferon-alpha, interleukin-2, and lithium.
Differentiating Hashimoto's thyroiditis from other causes of thyrotoxicosis
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis can initially present with thyrotoxicosis (hashitoxicosis) which must be differentiated from other causes of thyrotoxicosis.[2][3][1][4][5][6][7][8][9]
