Urticaria and hyperthyroidism.

J L Pace, M Garretts

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Thyrotoxicosis can present with urticaria, a skin condition that may improve with beta-blocker medication. This urticaria resolved with radioactive iodine therapy, suggesting a link between hyperthyroidism and skin manifestations.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Thyrotoxicosis, a condition of excess thyroid hormones, can manifest with various symptoms.
    • Urticaria, characterized by itchy welts, is an uncommon dermatological presentation of thyrotoxicosis.
    • Beta-blockers are often used to manage hyperthyroid symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A patient with thyrotoxicosis developed urticaria.
    • The urticaria showed a positive response to beta-blocker treatment with practolol.
    • Discontinuation of the beta-blocker did not lead to urticaria recurrence after radioactive iodine therapy.

    Findings:

    • The resolution of urticaria following effective treatment for thyrotoxicosis suggests a direct association.
    • Beta-blockade may offer symptomatic relief for urticaria in thyrotoxicosis.

  • The underlying mechanism linking thyrotoxicosis, urticaria, and beta-blocker response warrants further investigation.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider urticaria as a potential symptom of thyrotoxicosis.
    • The association between thyrotoxicosis and urticaria merits further research.
    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and investigating dermatological symptoms in endocrine disorders.
