Glucocorticoid Response in Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis Resulting from Destructive Thyroiditis Is Predicted by Thyroid Volume and Serum Free Thyroid Hormone Concentrations

Abstract: Baseline serum thyroid hormone concentrations and thyroid volume help identify patients with type 2 AIT at risk of a delayed response to glucocorticoids.

“…Initial prednisone dose is about 0.5--0.7 mg/kg body weight per day, and treatment is usually tapered down and discontinued after three months [2]. Response to treatment often is dramatic, and half of the patients are cured within four weeks [56]. However, a delayed response may be encountered, possibly related to the mixed pathogenesis of AIT.…”

“…However, a delayed response may be encountered, possibly related to the mixed pathogenesis of AIT. Using a mathematical model, euthyroidism may be predicted to be reached on average after 40 days of treatment [56]. Thioamides are not the first-line treatment in type 2 AIT because the underlying pathogenic mechanism is not an enhanced thyroid hormone synthesis.…”
