We assessed extravascular accumulation of albumin and fluid in primary myxedema by measuring metabolic turnover and transcapillary escape of 131I-labeled human albumin in seven patients. In the hypothyroid state, we found a low plasma volume (P less than 0.05), a reduced rate of albumin synthesis
Results of the examination of patients with secondary lymphedema in the period 2006-2010. Revealed that the most frequent concomitant diseases in 150 (57,6%) patients with secondary lymphostasis lower extremities is hyperthyroidism.
RESULTS
an increase in thyroid size, infiltrative endocrine
OBJECTIVE
Pretibial myxedema (PM) is a manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). Currently, its diagnosis depends on physicians' observation and biopsy. No satisfactory, objective, and non-invasive tool is available to record and investigate lesions. Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) detects
Infiltrative dermopathy is an uncommon manifestation of Graves' disease. The most frequent location of infiltration is the lower extremities, especially the pretibial areas and on the dorsum of the foot. Rarely the hand, elbow, arm, and forearm are affected. We report a 66-year-old man with Graves'
Myxedema coma is the most lethal manifestation of hypothyroidism. It is a true medical emergency and can result in profound hemodynamic instability and airway compromise. Myxedema coma currently remains a diagnostic challenge due to the rarity of cases seen today, and failure to promptly initiate
Thyrotoxic or hyperthyroid storm is a grave, life-threatening, but relatively infrequent medical emergency. Immediate causes of death in this emergency are severe hyperpyrexia and pulmonary edema associated with arrhythmias, shock, and coma. This emergency is found in Graves' patients most
Myxedema coma, a rare but fatal emergency, is an extreme expression of hypothyroidism. We describe a 51-year-old male patient who has discontinued hypothyroidism treatment 10 months earlier and developed lethargy, edema, and cold intolerance symptoms. He also had a previous diagnosis of
Pretibial myxedema (PM) is a rare autoimmune manifestation of Graves' disease, which commonly presents as diffuse, nonpitting edema of shins and less often as plaques, nodules, or elephantiasis lesions mimicking lymphedema. We present a 57-year-old woman with 12-month history of PM, which occurred a
Pretibial myxedema (PTM) is an uncommon, late manifestation of Graves' disease. It is nearly always preceded by significant ophthalmopathy and classically presents as nonpitting (brawny) edema of the lower extremities. We report a case of PTM that is unusual because of its morphologic evolution,
BACKGROUND
Pretibial myxedema (PTM) is a rare manifestation of Graves' disease. There is paucity of data regarding long-term follow-up and response to treatment in PTM.
METHODS
Retrospective study wherein 30 patients of PTM presenting during 2001-2011 attending dermatology and endocrinology
