    Subacute thyroiditis patients showed elevated thyroid hormones and suppressed TSH response, indicating hyperthyroidism. Treatment with L-triiodothyronine (L-T3) or aspirin led to recovery within weeks.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Thyroidology

    Background:

    • Subacute thyroiditis is an inflammatory thyroid condition.
    • Understanding its hormonal profile and response to TRH stimulation is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the hormonal status and TRH response in subacute thyroiditis.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes for patients with subacute thyroiditis.

    Main Methods:

    • Serial measurements of T4, FT4, TSH, and radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake were performed.
    • Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation tests were conducted in five patients.
    • Patients were treated with L-triiodothyronine (L-T3) or aspirin.

    Main Results:

    • Elevated T4 and FT4 levels were observed in all six patients.

  • RAI uptake was uniformly low (≤1%).
  • TRH testing showed a suppressed TSH response, suggestive of hyperthyroidism.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subacute thyroiditis presents with biochemical evidence of hyperthyroidism.
    • Treatment with L-T3 or aspirin is effective, with no relapses noted.
