Overview
Euthyroid sick syndrome may be classified according to the level of thyroid hormones and the severity of the underlying disease into mild, moderate, severe, and recovery phase.
Classification
Euthyroid sick syndrome may be classified according to the level of thyroid hormones and the severity of the underlying disease. Depending upon the severity and duration of the stress inducing condition, the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and free T4 (FT4) are affected in variable proportions. The drop in levels of T3 and T4 is associated with more severe illnesses. On the basis of thyroid hormone levels euthyroid sick syndrome can be categorized into:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
| Euthyroid Sick Syndrome | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mild euthyroid sick syndrome | Moderate euthyroid sick syndrome | Severe euthyroid sick syndrome | Recovery phase | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| •Decreased T3 •Normal T4, FT4 and TSH •Increased reverse T3 | • Decreased T3 • Normal/decreased FT4 and TSH • Increased reverse T3 | • Decreased T3, T4 and TSH • Normal/decreased FT4 • Increased reverse T3 | • Normal/decreased T3 • Normal/increased T4, FT4 and TSH • Normal/increased reverse T3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Additionally, two phenotypes of euthyroid sick syndrome use to be distinguished, depending on the question if it occurs over short time in acute illness or if it represents a chronic condition (referred to as wasting syndrome)[3]. In the latter case, concentrations of T3 are even more reduced, and 3,5-T2 concentrations are increased.
