T3 - Answer️️ -what is T4 converted to? hypothyroidism - Answer️️ -if thyroid is not functioning correctly it won't produce enough T4, pituitary gland will notice and keep creating excessive thyroid-stimulating hormone T4 - Answer️️ -another name for thyroxine thyroid-stimulating hormone - Answer️️ -T4 has inverse relationship with which hormone? pituitary gland - Answer️️ -in hyper and hypothyroidism, which organ is still functioning correctly? hyperthyroidism - Answer️️ -thyroid is producing excessive T4, pituitary gland notices excess and decreases production of thyroid-stimulating, leading to less production of T4 high T4, low TSH - Answer️️ -hormone levels in hyperthyroidism low T3 and T4, high TSH - Answer️️ -hormone levels in hypothyroidism free T4 - Answer️️ -measure of T4 that is not protein bound T4 thyroid function test - Answer️️ -measures total OR free levels of T4 free T4 thyroid function test - Answer️️ -only measures free T4 T3 thyroid function test - Answer️️ -measures total amount of T3 ©SOPHIABENNETT@ Sunday, August 25, 2024 2:42 PM Vanderbilt University School of Nursing 3 TSH thyroid function test - Answer️️ -measures total amount of TSH low and slow (low temp, HR, decreased LOC) - Answer️️ -phrase to remember for hypothyroidism intolerance to cold, receding hairline, hair loss, facial and eyelid edema, dull-blank expression, extreme fatigue, thigh tongue - slow speech, apathy, dry skin (coarse and scaly), muscle aches and weakness, constipation, anorexia, brittle nails and hair, menstrual disturbances - Answer️️ - symptoms of hypothyroidism subnormal temp, bradycardia, weight gain, decreased LOC, thickened skin, cardiac comlpications - Answer️️ -late clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism myxedema, cretinism - Answer️️ -significant characteristics of hypothyroidism myxedema - Answer️️ -severe thyroid deficiency tha
