5 Series Editor s Introduction Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care, by Dr. Emanuel Brams, is a supremely readable cased-based approach to understanding the myriad of disorders that encompass thyroid disease. Using cases derived from his busy practice, Dr. Brams gives us the history and physical examination details of each case, along with test results. Then, through a series of questions similar to that which any good clinician asks while caring for a patient, Dr. Brams explains an optimal approach to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of thyroid disease, with an emphasis on the practical and common issues that primary care physicians see in their offices. This is an important book for primary care physicians because thyroid disease is common in the population we take care of and accounts for 3 5% of primary care visits. It is often cited as an area that primary care physicians find confusing. Dr. Brams clarifies thyroid disease and, through his generous sharing of cases, allows us to join him in making clear diagnoses as well as share in the ambiguity and decisions about approach when the diagnoses and course of treatment are not clear. In this way, the book is honest, and deals directly with the issues of thyroid disease as they are seen by us as physicians, not as we sometimes may wish they were seen if patients presented with the clarity of walking textbooks. Dr. Brams approach also makes his learning points far more memorable than the long dissertations found in many textbooks. In summary, Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care is an excellent book on an important topic written for primary care physicians in a style that makes for enjoyable reading that is easily translated into useful lessons for patient care.

6 Foreword Diseases of the thyroid gland are among the most common problems encountered by primary care physicians each day. Many symptoms of thyroid diseases, such as fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain are quite nonspecific. Thus, both patients and physicians often consider thyroid dysfunction to be the cause of a wide variety of clinical complaints. In the context of a busy clinical practice, most primary care physicians do not seek a comprehensive textbook filled with chapters on biochemistry and molecular biology. Rather, they benefit most by having access to a book that presents a concise and practical approach to identifying and treating patients with thyroid disease. Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care, authored by Dr. Emanuel Brams, is just what the doctor ordered. Not a traditional multiauthored authoritative text, it is rather a practical manual specifically directed toward primary care physicians and those in training. Dr. Brams brings to his book extensive experience from his clinical practice of endocrinology. Throughout his career he has worked side by side with primary care physicians. From his vast knowledge he has distilled the most important elements of diagnosing and treating thyroid diseases. Dr. Brams writes in a straightforward manner, highlighted by case presentations that clearly illustrate a wide variety of salient clinical points. Steven N. Levine, MD Professor of Medicine Chief, Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, LA vii
7 Preface I am a thyroid specialist and should think thyroid every day, right? Maybe not? A few years ago, our dog, Duffy, a 12-year-old West Highland terrier, seemed to be lying around more than usual. My wife complained that Duffy was not acting right. I told her that the dog was just getting old. When we came back from a vacation, the dog seemed even more lethargic. I told my wife that he was tired after 2 weeks in the kennel. Two days later she called me at the office with a tinge of panic in her voice. She said: the dog is lying in his bed shivering. I think he is dying. My best advice was to take him to the vet. The vet examined the dog and told my wife that Duffy was probably hypothyroid. Sure enough, a serum T4 was less than 1. The dog was probably close to myxedema coma. Needless to say, I was a bit embarrassed that I had missed the diagnosis. The good news is that he began to perk up after several weeks of thyroxine therapy. I guess we all have to be reminded now and again to THINK THYROID. Primary care physicians (PCPs) are faced with a large number of patients every day with nonspecific complaints. Although many of these complaints are related to minor illness, anxiety, and stress at home or at work, some of these patients may have more serious underlying problems such as thyroid disease. The PCP has the very difficult job of sorting out the patients with minor illness from the patients with more serious underlying disease. This is particularly difficult in the thyroid area because most thyroid symptoms are nonspecific. Therefore, many patients with thyroid dysfunction go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for months or even years. This is unfortunate because good treatment is available for most thyroid problems. The goal of Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care is to help primary care doctors and other nonendocrinology specialists diagnose and manage patients with thyroid disease in the office. It is very clinical and practical and will, I hope, be helpful to physicians in finding patients with thyroid problems and caring for them. It includes real cases from my endocrinology practice to illustrate the problems and a discussion of how to go about testing, arriving at a diagnosis, initiating treatment, and followup evaluation. ix
8 x Preface I have had the opportunity to work closely with PCPs as a colleague and endocrine consultant over many years. As a general endocrinologist in a medium-sized city, I have practiced in the front lines of patient care medicine. I have had the opportunity to see what type of support and practical clinical advice and education PCPs need and request to help in the care of their patients. This book is an expansion of a case-based approach that I have used for many years in continuing medical education lectures and the writing of a nationally distributed newsletter for PCPs, Think Thyroid. I used to note the following in my newsletter, and it is worth repeating: These cases are for teaching purposes only. The physician must evaluate each patient individually. Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care is divided into two parts. In Part I, I present and discuss cases illustrating the more common thyroid problems seen in practice. A brief discussion of thyroid physiology and testing is also included. Part II covers some more difficult and challenging thyroid problems, and include my views on some controversial issues in the management of the thyroid patient. Chapter 13, discusses four patients who presented diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and were learning experiences for me. Chapter 14 is a discussion of my personal views on treatment of Graves disease and includes several interesting case vignettes. Chapter 15 reviews a problem that is extremely difficult for the physician to manage, iatrogenic hyperthyroidism. Emanuel O. Brams, MD
9 Acknowledgments I dedicate this book to my mentor in endocrinology fellowship, Dr. Robert J. Ryan. Bob taught me to think independently and creatively in the clinic and the laboratory. He helped me to learn the physiology underlying function and pathology of the thyroid gland. This training has served me well in the care of thyroid patients. I also wish to thank my friend and endocrinology colleague, Dr. J. David Bernard, for his help and encouragement in this and other projects. He read several chapters from this book and offered constructive criticism. Other colleagues including Drs. Richard Davis, Robert Goldberg, Roland Nyegaard, and Robert Watson reviewed several chapters for me and their help was appreciated. Dr. John Abele has been my mentor in thyroid fineneedle biopsy over the past 20 years. I also wish to thank all the referring physicians who entrusted me with the care of their patients and the many thyroid patients whom I have had the privilege of caring for over the past 40 years. Special thanks to Dr. Steven Levine, chairman of endocrinology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, for his help and support. Emanuel O. Brams xi
