Overview
Silent thyroiditis presents with the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. It further leads to a euthyroid phase and eventually hypothyroid phase before the complete resolution of the disease. Complications may include hypothyroidism.
Natural history, complications, and prognosis
Natural history
Silent thyroiditis develops after a viral prodrome and presents as painful thyroid gland with symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. It further leads to a euthyroid phase and eventually hypothyroid phase before the complete resolution of the disease.[1][2][3]
1. Hyperthyroid stage
It follows the prodromal stage and includes the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis such as:
- Tachycardia and tremors
- Irritability and nervousness
2. Euthyroid stage
Thyrotoxic stage is followed by a 1–3-week period of euthyroid phase.
3. Hypothyroid stage
The transient hypothyroid stage lasts for 6-12 months.
- Rarely, the hypothyroid stage may persist for a longer duration.
Complications
Complications that can develop as a result of silent thyroiditis are:[1][4]
Prognosis
Prognosis of silent thyroiditis is usually good.
