“…An enlarged right thyroid gland was found on CT, suggesting hyperthyroidism or right‐sided thyroid adenoma 15–17 . The guinea pig was not showing clinical signs of hyperthyroidism; however, this disease is relatively common in guinea pigs 18,19 . The guinea pig will be monitored for the development of clinical signs of hyperthyroidism, and serum total T4 measurement would be warranted if so.…”

A 3‐year‐old, female, entire guinea pig presented with an 8‐week history of dysuria and vocalising when urinating. Investigations included radiography, ultrasonograpy and urine culture, which did not yield a definitive diagnosis. Medical management continued over a 3‐month period during which time, the clinical signs waxed and waned. A computed tomography scan was performed, which revealed cystitis, cystolithiasis and evidence of a persistent urachal remnant. Surgical resection of the urachal remnant was performed. The guinea pig made a good recovery from the procedure, and clinical signs have not returned 9 months later.

“…On the other hand, excess iodine intake can also cause iodine induced hypothyroidism disease [18]. Both diseases (hyper-and hypo-thyrodism) can cause enlargement of the thyroid (goiter) [19,20]. So, this study aimed to observe and record the status of different body organs represented by the thyroid gland, the brain, the heart, the liver and the kidneys during subjection to excess KI administration as a source of iodine in female albino mice and determining the severity of the complications on the short run.…”

This study aimed to observe and report the status and the reaction of the body organs in case of administration of excess iodine. This was achieved by the intraperitoneal injection of KI for female mice. Results showed that the different organs respond to KI administration with different reactions. The thyroid gland expressed a gradual increase in serum thyroid hormones (T4&T3) which was accompanied with a detected significant decrease in serum TSH in addition to an observed histological changes in the thyroid tissue. Liver was the most apparent organ that was affected by excess KI administration followed by the brain through expressing increasing significant T3 levels in tissues compared to control. On the other hand, the heart and the kidneys tissues displayed non significant decrease in T3 levels. The study evaluated some tissue specific enzymes which showed significant biochemical abnormalities in organs' functions. Our data detected the features of a subclinical hyperthyroid case and express the initiation of an iodine induced hyperthyroidism pattern.
