Thyrotoxicosis with toxic multinodular goitre - what does this mean
Thyrotoxicosis with toxic multinodular goitre is a condition where there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones due to multiple, enlarged nodules in the thyroid gland. it is caused by an overactive thyroid gland, which produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. this can lead to symptoms such as weight loss, increased appetite, sweating, palpitations, fatigue, and anxiety.
What happens during the disease - thyrotoxicosis with toxic multinodular goitre
Thyrotoxicosis with toxic multinodular goitre is a condition caused by the presence of multiple enlarged thyroid nodules, which produce an excess of thyroid hormones. this excess of hormones causes an increase in the metabolic rate of the body and can lead to symptoms such as weight loss, palpitations, anxiety, and heat intolerance. the underlying cause of this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an autoimmune reaction, in which the body's own antibodies attack the thyroid gland. additionally, environmental factors such as iodine deficiency and exposure to radiation may play a role in the development of this condition.
