S S Stoffer

    Postgraduate Medicine
    |December 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hyperthyroidism can cause urinary urgency, frequency, and enuresis due to increased adrenergic activity. Physicians should screen for these urinary symptoms in hyperthyroid patients, as they resolve with treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Hyperthyroidism is a condition characterized by excessive thyroid hormone production.
    • Increased adrenergic activity is a known feature of hyperthyroidism, leading to symptoms like tachycardia and tremor.

    Observation:

    • Urinary urgency, frequency, and enuresis are not commonly reported by patients with hyperthyroidism.
    • These urinary symptoms may be linked to heightened adrenergic activity.

    Findings:

    • Physicians should proactively inquire about urinary symptoms in patients with moderate to severe hyperthyroidism.
    • These symptoms are likely manifestations of augmented adrenergic activity.

    Implications:

    • Early identification of urinary issues in hyperthyroidism can improve patient management.

  • Resolution of urinary symptoms following hyperthyroid treatment suggests a direct causal link.
