Plasma exchange in the treatment of thyroid storm secondary to type II amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis
UNLABELLED Type II amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is an uncommon cause of thyroid storm. Due to the rarity of the condition, little is known about the role of plasma exchange in the treatment of severe AIT. A 56-year-old male presented with thyroid storm 2months following cessation of amiodarone. Despite conventional treatment, his condition deteriorated. He underwent two cycles of pla...
متن کاملRadioiodine therapy in patients with type II amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
INTRODUCTION The treatment of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) still remains a clinical challenge, requiring the cooperation of both endocrinologists and cardiologists. Unfortunately, even today AIT is related to significantly increased mortality. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of radioidine therapy for type II AIT in 2 groups of patients: with high or nor...
متن کامل[Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis].
Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction occurs in about 15-20% of patients under amiodarone therapy. Amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH) can develop in patients with an apparently normal thyroid gland or in those with an underlying chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. On a clinical ground, AIH is not challenging and can be easily treated with L-thyroxine therapy. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis...
متن کاملManagement of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
Amiodarone is used increasingly in a number of cardiac conditions. Amiodarone is heavily iodinated and can cause thyroid dysfunction. The diagnosis of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis remains difficult and more common causes of thyrotoxicosis need to be considered and excluded. Amiodarone has a significant side effect profile, which includes thyroid dysfunction. Amiodarone is an effective drug...
متن کاملA Case of Type 2 Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis That Underwent Total Thyroidectomy under High-Dose Steroid Administration
Amiodarone is used commonly and effectively in the treatment of arrhythmia; however, it may cause thyrotoxicosis categorized into two types: iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (type 1 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT)) and destructive thyroiditis (type 2 AIT). We experienced a case of type 2 AIT, in which high-dose steroid was administered intravenously, and we finally decided to perform tota...
