11 year old girl with hyperthyroid adenoma

[Guest guest]

dear Elaine...

It is possible for you comment ON the blood test results of my

daughter

HOW SEVERE IS HER CONDITION?

ALSO AS I SAID SHE HAS HAD THIS LUMP ON NECK FOR ATLEAST 4 YEARS

AND THE ENDO COULD NOT FIND ANY SYMPTOMS IN HER EXCEPT FOR THE BLOOD

WORK

AND THE THYROID SCAN RESULTS SHOW hyperthyroid adenoma

T3 TOTAL 419 NG/DL RANGE 60-181

T-3 UPTAKE 34% RANGE 22-35

T3 FREE 984 NG/ML RANGE 230-420

T-4 FREE 2.1 NG/DL RANGE 0.8-1.8

FREE T4 4.1 RANGE 1.4-3.8

TSH < 0.01 MIU/L RANGE 0.5-4.4

TSI 96% RANGE 125 OR LESS

DO WE HAVE A OPTION OF DOING NOTHING...SINCE MAY BE HER BODY HAS

LEARNED TO DEAL WITH HER CONDITION AND CONTINUE PERFORMING blood tests

AND THYROID SCAN AND MONITOR HER HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE.

ALSO MAY BE CHANGE HER DIET?

ANY COMMENTS FROM THE GROUP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED....THANK YOU VERY

MUCH CHRISTINE

HI ,

I usually don't reply much but do tons of reading. However your question

pertaining to do nothing has me concerned. I did nothing with my

hyperthryoidism pretty much dismissed the symptoms for at least two years after

my blood work came back. By the time I decided something was really wrong and

we started treatment my spouce thought I had bi-polar. Our bodies react

differently....

My suggestion is seek an endo who is knowledgable with thyroid disorders in

children. Please don't do the sit and wait.

just my thoughts

I have an 11 year old son recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He has also

just started going through puberty so I do believe this was a trigger. We have

an appointment with a Pediatric Endo on Sept. 5 so I will know more then. I

will let you know what he recommends as far as treatment after our appointment.

I can definitely see the effects that the hyperthyroidism is having on his mood

though. A friend of mine told me it was just puberty, but I can tell it is

more. He acts like I do when I am feeling hyper, over emotional and snapping at

every little thing.

11 year old girl with hyperthyroid adenoma

I have a 11 year old daughter .... last week we noticed a lump on her

throat ... we took her to see her doctor....he order a blood test

and it indicated she had hyperthyroid ...we reviewed family video

tapes made of my daughter over past several years... The video shows

that she had a lump in her throat as far back as when she was 7-8

years old ....beyond this date it is difficult to tell if she had any

lump because of poor video tapes ...But she has had no Symptoms of

hpyerthyroidism ....My daughter is going through puberty right now

... she has developing breast ... although she has not had her

period yet .... but i expect it to be very soon ....

Today we visited an endo who had ordered ultra sound and the thyroid

scan test together with many different blood tests ...The results of

the tests per endo is that she has hyperthyroid adenoma. He has

ordered FNA and says thyriod need to be removed by surgery....did not

give any other options .....

please can any one help from their experiences ....so we can make the

correct decision ... thank you very much ...christine

ps.. We would also like hear anyone who has a child going through

this or has gone through it. Or anyone knows of someone with a child

with hyperthyroid
