Overview
A diagnostic approach to evaluate a suspect patient with clinical symptoms of hyperthyrodism must be done in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnostic approach
- In the presence of relative clinical symptoms and signs for hyperthyroidism, a diagnostic approach must be taken to address accurate diagnosis and start the management.[1][2][3]
- Following algorithm summarizes the diagnostic approach to a suspected hyperthyroid patient.
| Suspected Graves' disease | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Measure serum TSH and free T4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Normal TSH & free T4 | ↓ TSH & ↑ free T4 | ↓ TSH & Normal free T4 | Normal or ↑ TSH & ↑ free T4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hyperthyroidism ruled out | Hyperthyrodism | Measure free T3 | TSH secreting pituitary tumor, Thyroid hormone resistance or Assay interference | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Measure TSH receptor antibodies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ↑ free T3 | Normal free T3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Present | Absent | T3 Toxicosis | Sub-clinical Hyperthyrodism | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Graves' Disease | Assess radioiodine uptake obtain radionuclide scan or both | Evolving Graves' disease Evolving toxic nodular goiter Excess thyroid hormone intake Non thyroidal illness | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Homogeneous increased uptake | Patchy uptake or single nodule | Low or no uptake | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Graves' Disease | Toxic nodular goiter | Subacute thyroiditis Excess thyroid hormone intake HCG secreting tumor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Presence of at least one of the following findings in a hyperthyroid patient is definitive for Graves' disease.
- Detectable TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs) in the serum
- Evidence of ophthalmopathy and/or dermopathy
- Diffuse and increased RAIU
