1, harm to the digestive system
Hyperthyroidism can lead to liver function impairment, hepatocellular necrosis and degeneration, elevated aminotransferases, hepatomegaly, cholestatic jaundice, gastrointestinal dysfunction, extreme emaciation and other complicating symptoms.
2, on the cardiovascular harm
The patient of hyperthyroidism will appear tachycardia, arrhythmia, elevated blood pressure, heart enlargement, heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and other hyperthyroidism heart disease, will also lead to leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and other diseases occur. The longer the course of hyperthyroidism, the higher the incidence of hyperthyroidism heart disease, individual patients will also be the first selection of cerebral infarction, causing paralysis and even death.
3, the harm to the liver
Hyperthyroidism increased oxygen consumption, resulting in a relative lack of oxygen supply to the liver, hyperthyroidism catabolism increased significantly, resulting in increased hepatic glycogen depletion, a variety of nutrients, such as amino acids, vitamins consumed, hyperthyroidism patients due to cardiac failure resulting in hepatic venous stagnation and necrosis of the liver, and complication of infection and shock. The patient's heart failure leads to hepatic venous stasis and hepatic necrosis, and infection and shock occur.
4, the harm to the kidneys
Toxic diffuse goiter is one of the types of hyperthyroidism, it is an autoimmune disease, its autoimmune lesions are not only limited to the thyroid gland, but also in the renal tubules. The lesions in the renal tubules lead to dysfunction of the renal tubules in acidifying the urine, i.e., acids cannot be secreted by the renal tubules for urinary excretion, and therefore accumulate in the bloodstream leading to, for example, acidosis.
5, on the reproductive system harm
Hyperthyroidism will lead to hormone imbalance in the body, so that men's desire to lose, sperm reduction infertility and even breast development is obvious. For women will cause menstrual disorders, amenorrhea and infertility and other manifestations, even if already pregnant may make the fetus stunted, premature birth, miscarriage, stillbirth and other phenomena.
6, the harm to the bones
Hyperthyroidism can also lead to the formation of subperiosteal strands and swelling, thyroid pestle and mortar finger, as well as calcium and phosphorus loss of osteoporosis.
7, induced diabetes
Thyroid hormone can antagonize the role of insulin in the body to promote glucose absorption and glycogen isomerization caused by increased blood sugar, induced diabetes or aggravated diabetes symptoms.
8, increase the heart pressure
Some hyperthyroidism patients will cause protruding eyes, goiter and other phenomena, so that hyperthyroidism patients have a greater change in appearance, serious will also affect the patient's heart health, so that the patient's loss of confidence, aggravate the mental burden, is not conducive to the condition of the improvement or recovery.
9, the damage to the nervous system
Hyperthyroidism can make people cause fantasy, mania, schizophrenia, depression, generalized tremor and other complications. Mild hyperthyroidism affects learning, work and life, and in severe cases, it can cause thyroid crisis, systemic failure and other serious consequences, and even death.
10, the emergence of high-risk pregnancy
If the woman has been pregnant with hyperthyroidism, how can increase the incidence of female hyperthyroidism pregnancy hypertension syndrome, the incidence of which is 10 times higher than normal, may induce hyperthyroidism crisis, threatening the patient's life. Once hair hyperthyroidism patients pregnant, it should be classified as a high-risk pregnancy, must be under the supervision of the hospital through the pregnancy and childbirth.
11, complication of thyroid crisis
When the patient is overworked, mental stimulation, undergo a variety of surgical procedures, trauma, bacterial infections, or complication of diabetes, there may be an outbreak of thyroid crisis. Hyperthyroidism crisis is a serious comorbidity of thyrotoxicosis condition of extreme exacerbation and endanger the patient's life, the disease is uncommon, but the death rate is very high.
12, early symptoms of hyperthyroidism
1, eat more and lose weight
Because the thyroid hormone can promote the metabolism, so the patient is mostly manifested as hyperactive digestive system, gastrointestinal activity enhancement, increased thermogenesis, etc., the patient can be more easy to eat, more frequent defecation and fear of fever, sweat, low-grade fever, etc.; however, although the amount of food has increased, but due to the body's ability to eat more, it is not possible for the patient to eat more than the amount of food, but the patient's body has to eat more. However, although the amount of food is increased, due to the increase in energy consumption, the patient may show symptoms of emaciation and weight loss.
2, mental symptoms
Thyroid hormone can also affect the nervous system to enhance the excitement of the patients with hyperthyroidism, most of the patients with emotional instability, restlessness, especially easy to be provoked by the anger, concentration and insomnia and dreaming, and so on.
3, cardiovascular symptoms
Early hyperthyroidism patients cardiovascular system manifestations of palpitations, shortness of breath, arrhythmia, rapid heartbeat, angina pectoris.
4, tibial edema symptoms
A few hyperthyroidism patients lower limbs tibial skin can be seen mucous edema, mostly in the tibial lower 1/3 of the anterior part of the body, but also can be seen in the dorsum of the foot, ankle joints, shoulder back of the hand, and occasionally can be seen in the face. Most of the lesions are symmetrical, with early skin thickening and coarsening, and extensive brownish-red raised uneven plaques or nodules of varying sizes.
5, reproductive endocrine system symptoms
In the early symptoms of hyperthyroidism, women are more often manifested as irregular menstruation, menstrual bleeding or even amenorrhea and infertility; men are more often manifested as impotence, premature ejaculation, hypogonadism, which can lead to infertility in severe cases.
6, muscle weakness
Thyroid patients can be accompanied by periodic paralysis, and proximal muscle progressive weakness, atrophy. About 1% of diffuse toxic goiter may be accompanied by myasthenia gravis.
7, goiter
Hyperthyroidism patients most suffer from varying degrees of goiter, goiter mostly diffuse, medium texture, no obvious pressure pain, the upper and lower poles of the thyroid gland can be touched tremor, a few patients thyroid is not significant.
8, proptosis
Hyperthyroidism patients eye performance can be divided into two categories, one is simple proptosis, eyeballs mildly protruding, eye fissure wide; the other is infiltrative ocular convexity, eyeballs protruding obviously, a small number of patients only unilateral eyeball protrusion. Patients consciously have a foreign body sensation in the eye, swelling and pain, photophobia, tearing, diplopia, strabismus and vision loss.
