Causes

• Euthyroid sick syndrome can be caused by any serious illness which predisposes to:
  • Increased level of cytokines
  • Decreased level of leptin
  • Hyper-metabolism
  • Iodine containing contrast medium
  • Decreased protein synthesis
  • Decreased level of thyroid-binding globulin
• The following table summarize the effect of various drugs on thyroid hormnones level.

Effect on thyroid	Name of drugs
↓ Hormone secretion	Lithium Amiodarone
↓ T4	Aluminum hydroxide Ferrous sulphate Sucralfate
↓ TSH	Dopamine Octreotide
↓ 5'monodeiodinase	Propylthiouracil Amiodarone Propranolol (high dose)
↑ TBG	Estrogens Tamoxifen Fluorouracil Methadone Heroin
↓TBG	Androgens Anabolic steroids Glucocorticoids Furosemide Mefenamic acid Salicylates
↑ Breakdown	Phenobarbital Rifampin, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine

• Drugs that influence thyroid hormones:
  • Propranolol (high doses)
  • Amiodarone
  • Glucocorticoids
  • Lithium
  • Iodide
  • Decrease cholestrol absorption
    • Colestipol
    • Cholestyramine
