Overview
Differentiating Graves' disease from other Diseases
Disease | Findings | |
---|---|---|
Hashitoxicosis | It is autoimmune thyroid disease who initially present with hyperthyroidism and a high radioiodine uptake caused by TSH-receptor antibodies similar to Graves' disease followed by the development of hypothyroidism due to infiltration of thyroid gland with lymphocytes and resultant autoimmune-mediated destruction of thyroid tissue similar to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.[1] | |
Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter | Toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter are result of focal/diffuse hyperplasia of thyroid follicular cells independent to TSH regulation. Finding single or multiple nodules in physical examination or thyroid scan.[2] | |
Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism | It is uncommon but, can develop after an iodine load, such as administration of contrast agents used for angiography or computed tomography (CT) or iodine-rich drugs such as amiodarone. | |
Trophoblastic disease and germ cell tumors | Present with acute severe unilateral lower quadrant abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, tender adnexal mass palpated in 90%, ultrasound is diagnostic.[3] | |
Thyroiditis |
|
Presents with localized abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Hypovolemic shock may be present; abdominal tenderness and guarding are physical exam findings, ultrasound is diagnostic.[3] |
Endometriosis | Present with cyclic pain that is exacerbated by onset of menses and during the luteal phase; dyspareuni, transvaginal ultrasound is suggestive, laparascopic exploration is diagnostic.[3] | |
Diverticulitis | Present with bowel symptoms in older women | |
Acute cystitis | Features with increased frequency and urgency, dysuria, and suprapubic pain.[4][5] |
- Crohn's disease
- Hyperthyroidism
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Pheochromocytoma
