What happens during the disease - myopathy in endocrine diseases

Myopathy in endocrine diseases is caused by an imbalance of hormones that can lead to an abnormal breakdown of muscle proteins, resulting in muscle weakness and pain. this can be due to an overproduction of hormones, such as cortisol, or an underproduction of hormones, such as thyroid hormones. in either case, the imbalance of hormones causes the muscles to break down more quickly than they can be replaced, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination to assess muscle strength, size, and tone
  • Blood tests to measure levels of hormones, electrolytes, and enzymes
  • Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans to assess muscle damage
  • Electromyogram (EMG) to measure electrical activity of the muscles
  • Nerve conduction studies to measure the speed of nerve signals
  • Muscle biopsy to examine the structure of muscle fibers
  • Genetic testing to identify any mutations in the genes related to myopathy
