Pathophysiology of Disease an Introduction to Clinical Medicine - Lange Chapter 20: Thyroid Disease 100% Correct Solution Autoantibodies detectable in patients with thyroid dysfunction - ANS-thyroidal peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab); thyroglobulin antibody (Tg Ab); TSH- receptor antibody, either stimulating (TSH-R [stim] Ab or TSI) or blocking (TSH- R [block] Ab). Thyroglobulin and thyroidal peroxidase antibodies are commonly found in? - ANShypothyroidism resulting from Hashimoto thyroiditis TSH-R [stim] Ab (TSI) is present in individuals with? - ANS-hyperthyroidism caused by Graves disease. TSH-R [block] Ab in maternal serum is predictive of? - ANS-congenital hypothyroidism in newborns (MRI) of the sella turcica Confirms? - ANS-pituitary tumor. Even more rarely, hyperthyroidism results from TSH overproduction caused by pituitary Hyperthyroidism by which 2 precipitated by germ cell tumors? - ANSchoriocarcinoma and hydatidiform mole), which secrete large quantities of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake of the thyroid gland at 4 or 24 hours is increased when the gland produces an excess of hormone like in - ANS-Graves disease radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake of the thyroid gland at 4 or 24 hours is increased when the gland is leaking stored hormone.
