Overview
There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of silent thyroiditis. Decreased radioactive iodine uptake, elevated serum T3, and T4 are helpful in diagnosing silent thyroiditis. Histopathology is also important to differentiate silent thyroiditis from other forms of thyroiditis.
Diagnostic Criteria
There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of silent thyroiditis. Decreased radioactive iodine uptake, elevated serum T3, and T4 are helpful in diagnosing silent thyroiditis. Histopathological is also important to differentiate silent thyroiditis from other forms of thyroiditis.[1][2][3]
- Elevated serum T4, T3 in thyrotoxicosis
- Elevated thyroglobulin concentrations
- Decreased RAIU (Radioactive iodine uptake)
- Histopathological findings include:
- Lymphocytic infiltration
- The Absence of following:
- Hurthle cells
- Germinal centers
- Fibrosis
