What is meant by Thyroidization of the kidneys?
Thyroidization (thyroid-like appearance) in renal tissue which is made up of a colloid-like hyaline cast formation of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) is a common finding in chronic pyelonephritis and obstructive nephropathy. This type of pathological change is sometimes observed in renal allograft specimens.
What is Thyroidisation of tubules?
Thyroidization of tubules is characterized by enlarged round tubules with markedly flattened epithelium with uniform intratubular casts, resembling thyroid colloid. Immunofluorescence microscopy: No specific staining.
What is Thyroidization commonly seen in chronic pyelonephritis?
There is accompanying thyroidization of tubules (ie, atrophic tubules filled with casts that resemble thyroid colloid), interstitial lymphoplasmacytic infil- trate, and often periglomerular fibrosis and secondary segmental glomerulosclerosis.
What are urinalysis findings in pyelonephritis?
On urinalysis, one should look for pyuria as it the most common finding in patients with acute pyelonephritis. Nitrite production will indicate that the causative bacteria is E. coli. Proteinuria and microscopic hematuria may be present as well on urinalysis.
How to know if your thyroid medication needs to be adjusted?
Here are some signs that your thyroid medication dose needs to be adjusted: 1. You feel pumped. Your heartbeat is stronger than usual or irregular. Your breathing is shallower and quicker. Your digestion is faster. Perhaps you’ve lost weight without any effort. You have difficulty sleeping through the night and you sweat more than usual.
What causes dilation of tubules in the thyroid?
Referred to as “thyroidization”, this histopathological picture is due to dilation of tubules which contain eosin-staining proteinaceous material (colloid). In other areas the tubules will show atrophy (not shown here). Previous| Home| Next Back to renal section
How does the thyroid hormone change over time?
The strength and power of your thyroid changes over time: it fluctuates with the change of seasons, it gets weaker as you age, and it increases or decreases hormone production as you gain or lose weight or if you are under more stress than usual.
Why do I feel like I have a cold when I take thyroid medication?
Whatever it is, if your gut is upset, the medication you take will not be absorbed properly. This means less of it will end up in your bloodstream and be available to the different organs, which causes more symptoms of hypothyroidism. 3. You feel like you are about to get a cold
