Factitious Thyrotoxicosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Factitious thyrotoxicosis is a state of excess thyroid hormone in the body that does not originate in the gland itself, but rather in an external source of that hormone.
What characterizes it: The body shows signs of accelerated thyroid activity, even though the thyroid gland is not producing that excess on its own.
Common manifestations: Palpitations, weight loss, nervousness, fine tremor or heat intolerance, similar to other forms of thyroid excess.
Who to see? The endocrinologist is the specialist indicated to distinguish the origin of the hormonal excess and provide appropriate follow-up. If symptoms of an accelerated thyroid appear, having them assessed by this professional helps clarify where the disturbance comes from.
