NR-566 Advanced Pharmacology for Care of the Family NR566 Midterm Differentiate between primary and secondary hyperthyroidism Primary is the term used when the pathology is within the thyro... id gland. Secondary hyperthyroidism is the term used when the thyroid gland is stimulated by excessive TSH in circulation. Differentiate between primary and secondary hypothyroidism Primary disorders include the following: • Defective hormone synthesis resulting from autoimmune thyroiditis, endemic iodine deficiency, or antithyroid drugs that were used to treat hyperthyroidism • Congenital defects or loss of tissue after treatment for hyperthyroidism Secondary causes of hypothyroidism, which are less common, include conditions that cause either pituitary or hypothalamic failure. In secondary disorders, the TSH response is inadequate so that the gland is normal or reduced in size, with both T3 and T4 synthesis equally reduced.
