Oxyphenbutazone-induced goitre.

R J Lane, F Clark, J K McCollum

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |February 1, 1977

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Oxyphenbutazone, used for back pain, can cause hypothyroidism by disrupting thyroid hormone production. This drug-induced thyroid dysfunction highlights a potential risk associated with long-term oxyphenbutazone use.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pharmacology
    • Thyroidology

    Background:

    • Oxyphenbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) historically used for inflammatory conditions.
    • Long-term NSAID use can have various systemic effects, including potential impacts on endocrine function.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed goitre and hypothyroidism after 4 years of oxyphenbutazone treatment for back pain.
    • The clinical presentation suggested a disruption in thyroid hormone synthesis.

    Findings:

    • Thyroid function tests revealed an organification defect, a key step in thyroid hormone production.
    • The organification defect was attributed to the effects of oxyphenbutazone, either as a cause or an exacerbating factor.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for oxyphenbutazone to induce hypothyroidism through impaired thyroid hormone synthesis.
    • Clinicians should consider drug-induced thyroid dysfunction in patients presenting with goitre and hypothyroidism, particularly those on long-term oxyphenbutazone therapy.
    • Further research may be warranted to elucidate the precise mechanism of oxyphenbutazone's impact on thyroid organification.
