About this episode
Dr. Rachel Blair, an endocrinology fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, joins Emily Gutowski (host) and Katie Kester (case presenter) to discuss hyperthyroidism. Together, they walk through a case of a young patient with suspected thyrotoxicosis and discuss the diagnostic workup, from physical exam and labs to radioactive iodine uptake studies. They talk through causes of primary and secondary hyperthyroidism, when thyrotoxicosis is considered an endocrine emergency, and how to provide initial empiric management of patients with suspected hyperthyroidism while awaiting thyroid antibody tests. The conversation closes with Dr. Blair’s three major clinical takeaways, but you’ll have to tune in to find out!
