Endocrinologic disturbances, including thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal issues, can cause muscular disorders. This review covers their neuromuscular symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology
  • Musculoskeletal System

Background:

  • Endocrine disorders frequently manifest with neuromuscular symptoms.
  • Myopathies associated with endocrine dysfunction are common but often underdiagnosed.
  • Understanding these connections is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review muscular disorders linked to common endocrine disturbances.
  • To discuss the relationship between thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal dysfunction and neuromuscular symptoms.
  • To highlight clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and treatments for endocrine myopathies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of endocrine myopathies.
  • Analysis of common clinical presentations.

  • Summary of diagnostic evaluations.
  • Overview of therapeutic strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal dysfunctions are significant causes of myopathies.
    • Neuromuscular symptoms vary depending on the specific endocrine disorder.
    • Early recognition and targeted treatment improve patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Endocrine myopathies require careful consideration in patients with unexplained muscle weakness.
    • Integrated diagnostic and treatment approaches are essential.
    • Further research can refine understanding and management of these conditions.
