By : Nur Hafizah Asikin Binti Mohamed THYROID HORMONE
• 2 types of biologically active thyroid hormones that produced by thyroid gland - Triiodothyronine (T3) - Thyroxine (T4)
• These two hormones released in response to hormone release by pituitary and hypothalamus.
• T3 is four times more potent than T4 but its serum concentration is lower.
• T4 is the major circulating hormone secreted by thyroid gland. About 80% of total daily T3 production results from the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 through deiodination of T4.
• T4 has intrinsic biological activity and does not function solely as a prohormone.
PATHWAY OF THYROID HORMONE
Hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates release of thyrotropin ( thyroid-stimulating hormone , TSH )
TSH in turn promotes hormone synthesis and release by increasing thyroid activity
When sufficient synthesis has occurred, high circulating thyroid hormone levels block further production by inhibiting TSH release
HYPERTHYROIDISM Form of thyrotoxicosis due to inappropriately
high synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid glands
THYROTOXICOSIS
Clinical state that results from inappropriately high thyroid hormone action in
tissues generally due to inappropriately high tissue thyroid
hormone levels
• Graves’ disease (most common cause of hyperthyroid)
• Toxic multinodular goiter
• Toxic uninodular goiter
• Factitious hyperthyroidism
• Tumors (thyroid adenoma, follicular carcinoma)
• Drug induced such as Amiodarone, Lithium, or Interferon
CAUSES OF HYPERTHYROID
SYMPTOMS
• Heat intolerance
• Weight loss with ↑ appetite
• Palpitation
• Diarrhea
• Amenorrhea
• Tremor
• Fatigue
• Nervousness
• Irritability
PHYSICAL FINDINGS
• Warm smooth & moist skin
• Exophthalmos
• Gynecomastia in men
• Onycholysis
• Tarchycardia at rest
• Fine tremor
Thionamides (Anti Thyroid Drugs)
-Propylthiouracil (PTU) -Carbimazole
TREATMENT OF HYPERTHYROID
NON PHARMACOLOGICAL
Surgery
PHARMACOLOGICAL
Radioactive iodine (RAI) Iodides
Adrenergic blocker
J A B A T A N F A R M A S I , H O S P I T A L S U L T A N A H A M I N A H J O H O R B A H R U P A G E 3
CONSIDER IN PATIENT– -Large thyroid gland (>80g) -Lack of remission on antithyroid drug treatment -Severe ophthalmopathy -Pregnant and children who have had major adverse reactions to antithyroid drugs -Can be used for patients who are noncompliant and refuse radioactive iodine
SURGERY
RADIOACTIVE IODINE (RAI)
•Sodium iodide – 131 → oral liquid / capsule that concentrates in the thyroid and initially disrupts hormone synthesis •Contraindicated in pregnancy
IODIDES
MODE OF ACTION -Acutely blocks thyroid hormone release -↓ size and vascularity of the glands -Inhibits thyroid hormone biosynthesis DOSE AND MONITORING Potassium iodide →available as a saturated solution OR → 38mg iodide per drop
Lugol’s solution → containing 6.3mg of iodide per drop → 1ml contain 50mg free iodine & about 130mg total iodine •Daily dose – 1ml daily in divided doses / 5 – 10 drops TDS •It should be administered 7 to 14 days preoperatively & not to be used for long term treatment
ANTI THYROID DRUGS
MOST USEFUL IN
PROPYLTHIOURACIL CARBIMAZOLE
Initial dose 300-450mg in 8 hourly interval 10 – 60mg daily in divided doses given 8 hourly
Maintenance dose 50-150mg in every 8 hours for at least 12-18 months
5 – 20mg daily for at least 12 – 18 months
Maximum dose 1200mg/day 60mg daily
Dose for pediatrics 50/m2 8 hourly Maintenance : 1/3 to 2/3 of the initial dose
0.4mg/kg/day 8-12 hourly oral for 2 weeks then 0.1mg/kg 8-24 hourly
Special population Preferred in pregnancy Max 450mg/day in 3 divided doses
Pregnancy-intolerance to PTU Max 20-30mg given daily
Precaution Not considered as first line therapy → serious hepatotoxicity
-
ADRENERGIC BLOCKER
-Used to ameliorate thyrotoxic symptoms such as palpitations, anxiety, tremor and heat intolerance DOSE AND MONITORING
• Propranolol 10-40mg TDS/QID → may block T4 to T3 conversion at high doses
• Alternatives to control symptoms when β-blocker is contraindicated → calcium channel antagonist - PO Diltiazem 120mg TDS - PO Verapamil 80-120mg TDS/QID

PREFERRED TREATMENT DOSE & MONITORING
-Elderly or patient with cardiac comorbidities who are poor surgical candidates -Fail to respond to drug therapy / experienced adverse drug therapy -Developed recurrent hyperthyroidism after surgery
-Usually given in a single dose – maximal benefit is noted within 3 to 6 months -Single dose of 5 – 30 milicuries -Second dose of RAI given 6 months after the first RAI treatment – if patient remain hyperthyroid
•This surgery preserves some of the thyroid tissue and reduces the incidence of hypothyroidism to 25%. However, persistent or recurrent hyperthyroidism occurs in 8% of patients •Total thyroidectomy is reserved for patients with severe disease or large goiters in whom recurrences would be highly problematic
INDICATION -Preoperative preparation before surgery -Provides symptomatic relief of hyperthyroid symptoms -Thyroid storm -Contraindicated in pregnancy
-Children & pregnant women -Patients with contraindication to surgery or refused surgery
-Patients who relapse after thyroidectomy -Patients in preparation for surgery or awaiting radioiodine therapy
-Patients with medical complication
MANAGEMENT OF ANAEMIA IN RENAL PATIENT B Y : W O N G J I N N I
DEFINITION OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)
• Kidney damage for ≥3 months, as de-fined by structural or functional abnor-malities of the kidney, with or without decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), manifest by either:
Pathological abnormalities; or
Markers of kidney damage, in-cluding abnormalities in the com-position of blood or urine, or abnormalities in imaging tests
• GFR <60min/ml/1.73m2 ≥ 3 months, with or without kidney damage
DEFINITION OF ANAEMIA
• <13.0 g/dL for adult males
• <12.0 g/dL for adult females
Normally present as normochromic normocytic anaemia
IRON THERAPY
• To treat iron deficiency
• Increase Hb level with/without ESA
• Prevent anaemia development in ESA treated patients
• Reduce ESA doses in ESA-treated patients
CAUSES OF ANAEMIA
• Less erythropoietin production
• Shorter life span of RBCs
• Dialysis induced blood & iron loss
• Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Systemic infection / inflammatory dis-eases
• Severe hyperparathyroidism
• Aluminium overload
• Haemoglobinopathies
• Hypothyroidism
• Drug induced hemolytic anaemia
TREATMENT GOALS
• Reduce left ventricular hypertrophy
• Decrease morbidity/mortality
• Increase exercise tolerance
• Increase quality of life
Parameters Evaluation
Haemoglobin Degree of anaemia
Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concen-tration (MCHC)
Type of anemia
Serum ferritin Iron stores
Serum iron Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) %Transferrin Satura-tion (TSAT)
Functional iron avail-able for erythropoie-sis.
Vitamin B12 and Folate
Type of anaemia
Plasma or serum C-reactive protein (CRP)
Inflammation
Stool occult blood Presence of ongoing GI bleeding or ulcer-ation
TREATMENT OPTIONS
1) Iron
2) Erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA)
3) Blood transfusion
General approach:
• Functional iron deficiency (ferritin>100ng/mL): Start with Iron; then +ESA (if Hb<11) OR reduce Iron (if Hb>11)
• Absolute iron deficiency (ferritin<100ng/mL): Iron + ESA
IV Iron Oral Iron
• Recommended for all CKD patients especially haemodialy-sis patients due to chronic blood loss
• Adverse effects: Anaphylactic reaction
• Recommended in non-dialysis or peritoneal dialysis patient due to less blood loss and without IV access
• Limited by poor absorption and non-adherence due to adverse effects
• Example: Ferrous fumarate 200mg tablet
• Adverse effects: dizziness, chest pain, palpitation, flushing, abdominal pain
•Recommended oral iron dose: 200mg elemental iron/day Should be taken before food/empty stomach as acidic environment promotes ionization of iron making it easier to be absorbed
Monitoring Parameters
Minimum target
Optimal target Maximum target
Serum ferritin ≥100ng/mL 200-500ng/mL >800ng/mL
TSAT >20% 30-40% >50%
% hypochromic red cells <10% <2.5%
ANAEMIA WORK-UP
MONITORING IRON STATUS Evaluate TSAT and ferritin ≤ every 3 months during ESA therapy, including the decision to start or continue therapy. Evaluation must be more frequent when:
• Initiating or increasing ESA dose
• There is blood loss
• In other circumstances where iron stores may become depleted

+/-25IU/kg at each dose MAX: 3 x 200IU/kg/week
Mircera: Non-ESA: 0.6mcg/kg once every 2weeks. When Hb>11, reduce to 1.2 mcg/kg once/month ESA: 120-360mcg once per month; or 60-180mcg once every 2weeks
Adverse effect of ESA: Hypertension, venous and arterial thrombosis, headache. A rare condition called pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) which caused by the development of neutralizing anti-erythropoietin antibodies when undergoing ESA therapy will lead to sudden development of severe trans-fusion-dependent anaemia.
Monitoring Parameter Frequency Targets
Blood pressure Every visit Depends on co-morbidities.
Haemoglobin -Upon initiation/change in ESA dose -On maintenance
-Every 2 weeks until Hb stabilizes -Every 3 months
ESA must not used to maintain Hb >11.5. Target rise in Hb is 1-2 g/dL/month & should be reached within 2-4 months.
Iron status -Ferritin -TSAT
Every 3 months
>100ng/mL >20%
RED BLOOD CELL TRANSFUSION
Indicated when:
•ESA therapy is ineffective •The risks of ESA therapy may
outweigh its benefits •When rapid correction of anae-
mia is required to stabilized the patient’s condition (Hb <7g/dL)
•When rapid pre-operative Hb correction is required
1 unit of packed RBC is ex-
pected to ↑ Hb by 1g/dL.
Risk of transfusion:
Immunological: fever/allergic reactions, hemolytic reaction, anaphylaxis
Viral infection: Hepatitis B/C, HIV
Initiation of ESA (i) Address all correctable causes of anaemia (ii) Blood pressure has to be controlled (iii) Iron level must be corrected to target Goal: to maintain Hb 10-12g/dL. Dose adjustment at every 4 weeks. Increase of Hb 1-2g/dL per month. The rise in Hg >2g/dL over 4 weeks should be avoided as rapid rising of Hb can induce hypertension and seizures.

OSTEOPOROSIS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMAN
B Y : T A N K E L E E N
DEFINITION
• Low bone mass
• Micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue
• Enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk.
OVERVIEW
• In Malaysia, in 1997, the incidence of hip fracture among individuals above 50 years of age was 90 per 100,000 pop-ulation. • The incidence increased with age. • Bone mineral density (BMD) peaks during the third decade of life and declines with advancing age. In women, this decline accelerates with menopause for 5 -10 years.
METHODS: 1. Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) 2. DXA (Dual energy x ray absorptiometry) 3. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) 4. Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT)
*RANKL : receptor activator of NF-κB ligand ; OPG : osteoprotegerin
DIAGNOSIS
• The World health Organization (WHO) working group defines osteoporosis in women on the basis of the criteria shown in Table below.
* T score: comparison with young adult mean
Non-modifiable Modifiable
1. Advancing age 1. Low calcium and/or vitamin D intake
2. Ethnic group (Oriental & Caucasian)
2. Lack of regular physical activity
3. Female gender 3. Cigarette smoking
4. Premature menopause (< 45 years) including surgical meno-pause
4. Excessive alcohol intake
5. Family history of osteo-porotic hip fracture in first degree relative
5. Excessive caffeine intake (>3 drinks/day)
6. Personal history of fracture as an adult
6. Low body weight (BMI < 19kg/m2)
7. Estrogen deficiency
8. Recurrent falls
