ABSTRACT
Hyperthyroidism is an endocrinological aberration characterized by the excessive production of thyroid hormones, spans a clinical spectrum from latent subclinical presentations to formidable thyroid storm. Mortality differs according to the etiology of hyperthyroidism, early recognition, and proper treatment. There are many causes including Graves’ disease, toxic adenomas, thyroiditis. Clinical manifestations range from anxiety and palpations to severe conditions such as thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and thyroid storm which affect various organ systems. Management approaches vary based on clinical presentation and severity, encompassing supportive care, inhibition of hormone production and release, and correction of peripheral conversion. This article aimed to discuss hyperthyroidism and thyroid storm and clinical management at the emergency department of hyperthyroidism patients.
