Hyperthyroxinemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Refimprove Template:Infobox medical condition (new) Hyperthyroxinemia is a thyroid disease where the serum levels of thyroxine are higher than expected.[1] Thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland.
The term is sometimes used to refer to hyperthyroidism, but hyperthyroidism is a more general term. [2]
When the level of thyroxine (T4) in the blood exceeds normal range, it can lead to symptoms such as irritability and unexplained weight loss.[3]
Types include:
- Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia
- Familial euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia
- Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome
