Overview
Common causes of myxedema coma include sepsis, exposure to cold weather, central nervous system depressants (sedatives, narcotics, antidepressants), trauma, surgery, stroke, congestive heart failure, burns, intravascular volume contraction (GI bleeding, diuretic use), myocardial infarction, and metabolic disorders.
Myxedema coma causes
Myxedema coma may be caused when the thyroid is severely compensated and is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone. It is a rare condition that is not happening frequently.
Common causes
Common causes of myxedema coma include:[1]
- Sepsis
- Exposure to cold weather
- Central nervous system depressants (sedatives, narcotics, antidepressants)
- Trauma, surgery
- Stroke, congestive heart failure, burns
- Intravascular volume contraction (GI bleeding, diuretic use)
- Myocardial infarction
- Metabolic disorders
