“…7 However, hypo natraemia is seen in approximately 50% of patients with myxoedema coma. 8 It is hypothesised that, with decreased metabolic function, patients often have decreased free water clearance because of impaired renal function or vasopressin secretion, which c a u s e s d i l u t i o n a l h y p onatraemia.…”

Certain physical health problems in the elderly population often result in impairment of cognitive abilities and acute behavioural issues, so pose a challenge to the treating team. The authors describe a case of hypothyroidism with psychological symptoms of general blunting of personality, mental lethargy and memory impairment from the early stages of the disease, with difficulty in recording events and happenings of day‐to‐day activities. They further describe how these resolve upon correction of the underlying physical health issues.

“…This may be partly attributed to the varying effect of hypothyroidism (which is normally the state of the patient to be treated with 131 I unless recombinant TSH is to be given) in slowing down the kidney function. 32 In cases of ESRD this factor contributes only to the extent that the patient has some residual kidney function; such was the case of patient No. 2 in our series who excreted in the urine about 7% of the administered 131 I in the first 48hrs.…”

I retention measurements performed post dialysis; in two of them some additional measurements such as iodine clearances were also performed. rEsULts: None of the patients experienced any short-term side effects, while they all had undetectable thyroglobulin levels on the first post therapy evaluation off thyroxine. 131I elimination in the first haemodialysis was about 60%. staff incidental exposure and 131 I contamination were insignificant. cONcLUsIONs: On the basis of our experience, an empiric activity of 40-50% of that used for normal individuals appears to be effective as well as safe. these encouraging findings are discussed in relation with other reports in the literature.

“…Although it has been linked to cases of hashimoto's thyroiditis or thyroid dysfunction, the most common immunological feature of HE is the presence of high titers of antithyroglobulin or anti-TPO (antimicrosomal) antibodies. (3) Seizures including status epilepticus may also occur in patients with hashimotos encephalopathy .Seizures appear to be extremely common in HE and deserves consideration in the differential diagnosis of adult onset recurrent epileptic seizures. An excessive, central release of TRH was held responsible for the epileptic seizures.…”
