Provide Information About Hyperthyroidism And A Thyroid Nodule According To Test Reports
Question: Dear Doctor, Please find attached few reports of my wife. Could you please check and provide an explanation with causes and solution / medications for this issue. Thanks for your help.
Brief Answer:
About hyperthyroidism and thyroid nodule;
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The ultrasound report and the thyroid hormone result are suggestive for overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism.
To find the cause of it, a thyroid scintigraphy scan and thyroid stimulation antibodies should be checked.
If Graves' disease is confirmed, treatment with Carbimazole should be started and the hormones checked once a month to be sure that the balance is normal under the suggested dose.
There is also a nodule described in ultrasound but the nodule's characteristics are not described. They are very important to decide rather Fine needle biopsy is recommended to determine if the nodule is benign or not.
Hope the information will help.
Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta

The characteristics of the nodules are not described.
