    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Athletic Performance

    Background:

    • Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, causes hyperthyroidism.
    • Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can overlap with overtraining syndrome in athletes.
    • Misdiagnosis can delay appropriate management and impact athletic careers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges of Graves' disease in young athletes.
    • To illustrate the diverse clinical presentations of Graves' disease mimicking sports-related issues.
    • To review the diagnostic and treatment strategies for Graves' disease in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Case review of three young athletes diagnosed with Graves' disease.
    • Analysis of presenting symptoms, diagnostic workup, and treatment outcomes.

  • Literature review on Graves' disease and its overlap with athletic overtraining.

    • Main Results:

    • The three cases demonstrated varied symptoms, including fatigue, weight loss, and palpitations, which initially suggested overtraining.
    • Diagnostic evaluation confirmed Graves' disease, necessitating specific thyroid-related treatment.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management led to symptom resolution and return to sport.

    Conclusions:

    • Graves' disease presents a diagnostic challenge in athletes due to symptom overlap with overtraining.
    • A high index of suspicion, thorough history, physical examination, and targeted investigations are essential.
    • Timely diagnosis and appropriate management of Graves' disease are critical for athlete well-being and performance.
