The topic Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis due to Secondary Hyperthyroidism you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Secondary Hyperthyroidism.

Quick Summary:

• Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland (present in the neck) is overactive and produces too much of the hormone thyroxine
• Thyroxine is responsible for regulating the body's metabolism; it stimulates cells of the body to produce proteins, and also increases the amount of oxygen used by them. It also has a very important role in fetal brain development
• Secondary Hyperthyroidism indicates that the dysfunction is caused by factors extrinsic to the thyroid gland (i.e., not due to a disorder in the gland). In contrast, primary hyperthyroidism occurs when the dysfunction is caused by abnormal functioning of the thyroid gland itself
• The condition is very rare in contrast to primary hyperthyroidism, which is fairly common. The most common cause of Secondary Hyperthyroidism is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreting pituitary adenoma
• Some of the signs and symptoms of Secondary Hyperthyroidism include rapid weight loss, irritability, heat sensitivity, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, sweating, and fatigue
• The complications associated with the condition may include osteoporosis, abnormal heart conditions, and thyroid storm or thyroid crisis
• The prognosis of Secondary Hyperthyroidism is generally good with appropriate treatment
