-== Overview ==
+==[[Silent thyroiditis classification|Classification]]==
-'''Silent thyroiditis''', also known as '''painless thyroiditis''' or more specifically and scientifically as '''subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis''', is a member of the group of thyroiditis conditions known as resolving thyroiditis, which includes a very similar condition to silent thyroiditis, '''postpartum thyroiditis'''.
+==[[Silent thyroiditis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-== Symptoms/Signs ==
+==[[Silent thyroiditis causes|Causes]]==
-Silent thyroiditis features a small [[Goitre|goiter]] without tenderness and, like the other types of resolving thyroiditis, tends to have a phase of [[hyperthyroidism]] followed by a phase of [[hypothyroidism]] then a return to euthyroidism.<ref>NIH Medline Plus [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/MEDLINEPLUS/ency/article/000388.htm]</ref> The time span of each phase is not concrete, but the hypo- phase usually lasts 2-3 months.
-The symptoms are those of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism during these phases. During the hyperthyroidism phase, RAIU (Radioactive Iodine Uptake) is suppressed while during the hypothyroidism phase it is increased.<ref>NIH Medline Plus [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/MEDLINEPLUS/ency/article/000388.htm]</ref> Thyroid autoantibodies (anti-thyroglobulin, anti-thyroid peroxidase) may be present, but the extent of their role in silent thyroiditis is unknown.
+==[[Silent thyroiditis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Silent thyroiditis from other Diseases]]==
-== Etiology ==
+==[[Silent thyroiditis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-Silent thyroiditis is most likely [[autoimmune]].
-[[Hashimoto's thyroiditis]] is also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and is, therefore, in the same "family" as silent thyroiditis. It seems that silent thyroiditis may be transient "hashitoxicosis," which is a hyperthyroidism phase before the usual hypothyroidism associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
-Ingestion of large or minimal amounts of [[iodine]] bring a host of different conditions and usually is not associated with silent thyroiditis.
