1 Tips For Taming Thyroid Disorders in Primary Care Christine Kessler MN, ANP-BC, CNS, BC-ADM, CDTC, FAANP Metabolic Medicine Associates King George, Virginia Co-chair: Metabolic & Endocrine Disease Summit (MEDS) Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: 1. Discuss pertinent physical assessment and laboratory diagnostic studies to aid in diagnosis of clinical and subclinical hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism 2. Develop strategies to safely initiate, titrate, monitor and maintain ATD & THR therapy in adults. 3. Address controversies surrounding medical management of subclinical (and overt) hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism in adults My Disclosure Reminder: What Can Go Wrong With Thyroid Hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism Thyroid nodules/cancer TSH Free T4 T3 TRAb Levothyroxine dosing Desiccated thyroid use Anti-thyroid drug dosing The problem can be Intrinsic (PRIMARY): thyroid TPO Abs Beta blocker use When to refer Extrinsic (SECONDARY): H-P (brain) disorders Or dietary/ medication/ acute illness problems 1
2 When to Should Check Thyroid Function Over the age of 60 Personal or family hx of autoimmune disease Type 1 DM, psoriasis, lupus, RA, pernicious anemia, Celiac Dz, Addisons s, Sarcoidosis, Scleroderma, etc New onset atrial fibrillation or CHF Difficult to treat dyslipidemia New onset anxiety or depression Fertility issues In presence of notable S&S of thyroid disease Amiodarone use Pre-pregnancy or pregnancy in higher risk patients Case 1: Louise 43 y/o seen for annual physical. No complaints or untoward symptoms except for heavy menstrual periods. EXAM: benign LABS: Mild Microcytic anemia, normal Chem & lipids TSH: 0.09 mu/l ( ) FT4: 2.1 ng/dl ( ) FT3: 192 (60-180) Subsequent TRAb is slightly positive Differential Diagnosis for Louise Graves Thyroiditis Something else?

3 Primary Tests of Thyroid Function TSH Free T4 Total T3 or Free T3 Thyroid antibodies Thyroid scanning/ultrasound Thyroid Testing Pointers TSH ( or uu/ml or?) Higher normal in elderly (uncertain level 6.5+?) LOWER normal in black population? (1.2 vs 1.8 ave) Best test for screening for thyroid dysfunction Inverse to T4 Log/linear response w/ FT4 A 2-fold change in FT4 produces a 100-fold change in TSH Don t use TSH alone for diagnosis! Changes slowly in response to Rx; (6-8 weeks, may take up to 12 weeks in elderly) TSH Accuracy Affected By: Age-dependent increase in women >45 (not as much in men).antibody connection? Less reliable during first 2 months of thyroid replacement therapy Pregnancy: 1 st trimester decreases; then increases (inverse HCG) Critical illness Numerous drugs: Dopamine, steroids, amiodarone decreased Amiodarone, heroin, lithium increased Thyroid Testing FT4 ( ng/dl) Indications: In conjunction w/ TSH for DX hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Monitoring response to therapy changes faster than TSH. FT3 /T3 FT3 less accurate than T3 in detecting T3 levels in the low range use T3 USED primarily in hyperthyroid states (T3 thyrotoxicosis Used if abnormal TSH + normal FT4 in hyperthyroidism (not hypothyroidism) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hypothyroidism in Adults: AACE and ATA 2012 Thyroid Testing FT4 ( ng/dl) Indications: In conjunction w/ TSH for DX hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Monitoring response to therapy changes faster than TSH. FT3 /T3 FT3 less accurate than T3 in detecting T3 levels in the low range use T3 USED primarily in hyperthyroid states (T3 thyrotoxicosis Used if abnormal TSH + normal FT4 in hyperthyroidism (not hypothyroidism) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hypothyroidism in Adults: AACE and ATA
4 Therapy Monitoring Clinical and laboratory evaluations should be performed At 6- to 8-week intervals while titrating Every 2 to 3 weeks in severely hyper-/hypothyroid states (the FT4 is most helpful here) Annually once a euthyroid state is established ENDOCRINE PRACTICE Vol 17 No. 3 May/June 2011 Typical Thyroid Hormone Levels in Thyroid Disease TSH FT 4 T 3 Hypothyroidism High Low Low Subclinical High Normal Normal Hyperthyroidism Low High High Subclinical Low Normal Normal When FT4 and TSH Seem Discordant Usually means early or subclinical disease Often occurs soon after initiating a therapy that changes thyroid function (e.g. starting L-thyroxine or starting anti-thyroid meds); or patient not taking meds correctly FT4 will change before TSH I presents with this a sign of Pituitary or Hypothalamic dysfunction (central hypo or hyperthyroidism) -Refer Common Adjunctive Tests Antibodies: (Anti -TPO): For diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto s thyroiditis) Thyroid Receptor Antibodies (TRAb): For diagnosis of autoimmune hyperthryoidism (Graves dz) TSI- Thyrotropin stimulating immunoglobulin TBII- Thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin Thyroglobulin (Tg): cancer marker post thyroidectomy REMBEMBER that she Is asymptomatic Has: Low TSH High FT4 Positive TRAbs Thoughts? Questions? So what about Louise? 4
5 More Thyroid Tests Thyroid Uptake/Scan Thyroid Ultrasound: assess thyroid nodules, goiter Thyroid Uptake/scanning How rapidly labeled iodine is gets into thyroid travels to functioning parts of thyroid Assesses for Thyroiditis (low uptake) Graves (increased uptake, when other signs lacking) Looking for hot/cold nodules Percent uptake to prepare for I-131 (Rx for hyperthyroidism) Graves Dz Toxic nodules Clinicalgate.com Associated With Elevated Radioiodine Uptake Graves disease Toxic Adenoma/Nodule Toxic MNG Thyroid Uptake Associated With Depressed Radioiodine Uptake Thyroiditis acute subacute Painless Post-partum Hashitoxicosis Iodine ingestion CASE 2: Agitated Angie 38 y/o Angie comes to see you after an ER visit for palpitations, vague neuralgias and a panic attack. She was given a anxiolytic, told to stop drinking caffeine and see her doctor She is still symptomatic & you learn she has been amenorrhic for 5 months, and has troubling insomnia EXAM: HR 110 reg; BP 146/82 Appears anxious; has mild tremor Symmetrically enlarged thyroid gland, non-tender What do you suspect?

Primary Hypothyroidism in Adults Found in women 10> men 6-9% overt disease: 15-21% subclinical Dz Thyroid tissue destruction as a result of Chronic autoimmune (Hashimoto) thyroiditis Radiation (like radioactive iodine treatment for thyrotoxicosis) Thyroidectomy Non-toxic multinodular goiter Drugs with antithyroid actions: (List in reference section) Many (of interest estrogen in BCP and HRT ) Increases binding proteins so less FT4 and higher TSH Primary Hypothyroidism: Other Causes Congenital hypothyroidism Agenesis of thyroid Defective thyroid hormone synthesis 1:4000 births (recent data suggest it may be more common than we think!!) Diagnostic Studies of Hypothyroidism MoreTina Talk High TSH, low FT4, low T3 (usually not checked in hypothyroidism) Elevated Anti-TPO in Hashimotos thyroiditis US (normal or goiter or nodules); Scan +/- Lipids (increased), electrolytes, EKG, LFTs (increased) Remember: if LOW TSH & LOW FT4 (pituitary/hypothalamic issue) Do you think her hypothyroidism is likely autoimmune? WHY or WHY NOT? 9

11 Hypothyroidism and the Heart Treating Overt Hypothyroidism Dyslipidemia Hypertension Diastolic Dysfunction Elevated Cholesterol* Long Q-T Syndrome (V-Tach less V-fib) Serum CK Elevation (*Statin Hazard?) Coagulopathy Average start at 50 to 100 (daily dose average 1.6 mcg/kg lean weight) increase every 6 weeks as needed to targeted TSH goal Begin low dose levothyroxine in elderly? mcg (what s the evidence?) Elderly TSH goal: 4-to-6.5 Considerations: Higher TSH in elderly associated prolonged life span? Levothyroxine (T4) has half-life of 6-7 days Do You Treat Subclinical Hypothyroidism? Most yrs old treated with levothyroxine, (TSH ) have cardiac risks reduced (ESP in Black Pts!) If not treated with levothyroxine have higher all-cause mortality.? BUT LOOK at CV risks (dyslipidemia, CV etc) Treatment should be considered in presence of hypothyroidism symptoms, positive TPO antibodies or evidence of CVD, CHF or high risk of these Less likely to be prompt to treat those >70 Initial levothyroxine dosing is generally lower than the treatment of overt hypothyroidism. How would you treat Tired Tina? Consider Age and risk Compliance Dose choices Razi S et al JCEM 95: Am J Med. 2016; 129 (4): What are your T4 replacement options Thyroid dose choices Hypothyroidism (Treatment) Synthroid (LT4) MANY DOSE CHOICES!!! T-1/2 LT4 is 7 days Food & drugs can LT4 absorption up to 40-50%. Should be taken with water consistently 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or at bedtime 4 hours after the last meal MORE PARITY among generic levothyroxine drugs now within 5% variance. Or are they?!! Make sure the pill color hasn t changed without change in dose!!!. 11
12 Those with Celiac Disease should use Tirosint Factors That May Reduce Levothyroxine Effectiveness Tirosint-SOL (levothyroxine sodium oral solution) and in gel pack Malabsorption Syndromes Postjejunoileal bypass surgery Short bowel syndrome Celiac disease Reduced Absorption Colestipol hydrochloride Sucralfate Ferrous sulfate Food (e.g., soybean formula) Aluminum hydroxide Cholestyramine Sodium polystyrene sulfonate PPI Drugs That Increase Clearance Rifampin Carbamazepine Phenytoin Factors That Reduced T 4 to T 3 Clearance Amiodarone Selenium deficiency Other Mechanisms Lovastatin Sertraline Factors That May Reduce Levothyroxine Effectiveness Malabsorption Syndromes Postjejunoileal bypass surgery Short bowel syndrome Celiac disease Reduced Absorption Colestipol hydrochloride Sucralfate Ferrous sulfate Food (e.g., soybean formula) Aluminum hydroxide Cholestyramine Sodium polystyrene sulfonate PPI Drugs That Increase Clearance Rifampin Carbamazepine Phenytoin Factors That Reduced T 4 to T 3 Clearance Amiodarone Selenium deficiency Other Mechanisms Lovastatin Sertraline Creative THR If miss a dose what do you do? Double up tomorrow (long half life) Can be given weekly in non compliant pts (WORKS) If TSH too low or too high? Can cut out a pill or double a pill per week vs change the dose order until know if working Caution with elderly Cardiac risk (angina/ atrial fibrillation) Malabsorption Tina Again She was originally put on 50 mcg without symptom relief and gradually increased to 100 mcg of levothyroxine. She is a little better, lipids improved but still symptomatic. Her labs are 12 weeks on 100 mcg: TSH: 5.8 FT4: 0.6 What would you do? Keep same dose, recheck in 6 weeks? Increase her daily dose? If increase dose...how much--to 112, 125, 137 mcg?!! 12
13 Example of how to help calculate new dose Case # 4: Anita ( Grams ) Tina is on 100 mcg of levothyroxine/day Has TSH of 5.8 Have pt take extra 100 mcg once a week Recheck TSH in 6 weeks Next TSH is 2.9 Add up total levothyroxine (700 mcg weekly plus extra 100 mcg= 800 mcg) 800 mcg / 7 (days) = 113 So order 112 mcg daily dose 81 year old WW with long standing hypothyroidism --well controlled on 200 mcg of Synthroid had a sudden drop in TSH from 2.01 to 0.7 with increasing angina Hx: CAD (CABG, Stents), Hashimoto s, pre-diabetes, asthma, GERD, osteoarthritis, MD Meds: carvedilol, norvasc, isosorbide, nitro spray, lipitor, calcium, Vit D, occuvites Case # 4: Anita What could have caused her TSH to drop? Is she taking the medication? Taking at a different time or with other meds/minerals? Is it a new vendor? Changed color of pills? Did she start metformin? Did she start biotin? Clue: her granddaughter (a nurse) visited her recently Here is the REST of the story; Does T3 Replacement Have a Role Hypothyroid Tx? Studies mixed meta-analysis negative but Perhaps up to 16% may have genetic polymorphisms/snps may do better or feel better with combo T4/T3 Wiersinga WM, Duntas L, Fadeyev V, et al: 2012 ETA Guidelines: the use of L-T 4 + L-T 3 in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Eur Thyroid J 2012; 1: Should you give T3 Replacement? Best if endocrinology prescribes this esp if ADDING to levothyroxine!!! Triiodothyronine (Cytomel) 5-25 mcg slow/gradual; best bid with with daily T4 T3 is 4-5 x stronger than T4 So cut back the dose of T4 accordingly when adding T3. (FYI if on 100 mcg levothyroxine cut to mcg with a bid T3 dose) OR Liotrix (Thyrolar) combo 1 unit 12.5 mcg T3/ 50 mcg T4 13
14 What About Natural Thyroid (porcine thyroid) Desicated thyroid (porcine based) Has T4 and T3 Most common: Armour Thyroid Nature-thyroid NP-thyroid Less well known: Westhroid Biotech Above FDA regulated vs OTC thyroid granules OTC-Thyroid Supplements The basic "rule of thumb" in converting levothyroxine to desicated thyroid doses: 100 mcg of T4 is roughly equivalent to 25 mcg of T3, or 1 grain (60 mg) of desiccated thyroid NP-Thyroid Acella Pharmaceuticals ckessler@maranatha.net 14
