What Does A Bilateral Thyroid Parenchymal Disease With Nodules Indicate?
Question: When doctor's write the impression that said: Consider bilateral Thyroid Parenchymal Disease with nodules. What does it means?
Brief Answer:
Autoimmune disease and nodules in thyroid:
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This thyroid ultrasound report suggests for autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland (Hashimoto or Graves' disease) associated with thyroid nodules.
To confirm the autoimmune disease you need to check the thyroid antibodies and the nodules should be examined further if they are over 1 cm or if they have suspicious characteristics for malignancy in ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
