Overview

Postpartum thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as De Quervain's thyroiditis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis.

Differentiating Hashimoto's Thyroiditis from other Diseases

Conditions Causes Age at onset Pathological findings Diagnostic approach
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • All ages, peak at 30-50
  • Lymphocytic infiltration
  • Germinal centers
  • Fibrosis (in some variants)
Painful subacute (De Quervain's) thyroiditis
  • Unknown
  • 20-60
  • Giant cells
  • Granulomas
Silent thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • All ages, peak at 30-40
  • Lymphocytic infiltration
  • Lymphoid follicles
Postpartum thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • Childbearing age
  • Lymphocytic infiltration
Riedel's thyroiditis
  • Unknown
  • 30-60
  • Dense fibrosis
Suppurative thyroiditis
  • Infection
  • Children, 20-40
  • Abscess formation
  • Postpartum thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of hypothyroidism on the basis of history and symptoms and laboratory findings:[2][3][1][4][5][6]
Disease History and symptoms Laboratory findings Additional findings
Fever Pain TSH Free T4 T3 T3RU† Thyroglobin TRH TPOAb^
Primary hypothyroidism Autoimmune (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) - - ↑* ↓ Normal/↓ Normal/↓ Normal/↑ Normal Present (high titer)
Riedel's thyroiditis - - Normal/↑ Normal/↓ Normal/↓ Normal/↓ Normal Normal Usually present
Infectious thyroiditis + + Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Absent
Transient hypothyroidism Subacute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis +/- +/- ↑/↓ ↓/↑ Normal ↓ ↑ Normal Low/absent
Postpartum thyroiditis +/- +/- ↑/↓ ↓/↑ Normal ↓ ↑ Normal/↑ Present (high titer)
Silent thyroiditis - - ↑/↓ ↓/↑ Normal ↓ ↑ Normal Present (high titer)
Others Drug-induced - - ↑/↓ ↓/↑ Normal ↓ Normal/↑ Normal Absent**
  • History of hyperthyroidism
  • History of trauma
  • History of drug use, surgery, or radiation
Radiation-induced
Trauma induced
Radioiodine induced
Thyroidectomy
Subclinical hypothyroidism - - ↑ Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal/↑
  • Asymptomatic


(†)T3RU; Triiodothyronine Resin uptake. (^)TPOAb; Thyroid peroxidase antibodies. (*)TSH may be decreased transiently in the thyrotoxicosis. (**)TPOAb may be present in drug-induced hypo/hyperthyroidism such as Interferon-alpha, interleukin-2, and lithium.
