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.
Common causes
Myxedema coma may be caused when thyroid is severely compensated and is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone. Common causes 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)
