Answered step-by-step
Asked by SummerloganAutumn

One of your long term primary care patients has suddenly developed hyperthyroid symptoms related to Graves disease. She is currently 4 months pregnant so she is very concerned about the impact of any medications on her fetus. She knows that she will need to be seen by a specialist,  but comes asking about what to expect. She has been on the internet and found that there are three major interventions for this disease. She wants to be treated quickly to decrease the time the baby is exposed to the treatment. She is unsure about radiation as a therapy due to her pregnancy.

 

Are her concerns about radiation appropriate due to her condition? Provide rationale
Does her Graves disease have any impact on the course of treatment during her pregnancy?
Which of the antithyroid medications will she be taking?
What impact do the antithyroid meds have on a developing fetus?
What diagnostic tests are required when taking antithyroid meds and how often should testing be done?
