CASE #1
Alicia is 48 year old female of 76 kilograms and height of 161.5 centimetres.
Although she attempted reduced weight, but she has gained instead 11.4
kilograms in the previous months. She also sleeps for 14-16 hours a day. Her
movements were slothful, and she has slight enlargement of the neck area,
coarse textured hair and dry skin. When her blood sample was analyzed it
showed that the hormone T4 (thyroxin) levels were 3.2 micrograms/millilitre
which is lower than the normal range, 4.2-11.2 micrograms/millilitre. In
addition to this her TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels were high.
In a power point presentation, per slide:
1. Determine the diagnosis for this case.
2. List signs and symptoms.
3. List possible causes of this case.
4. Identfify hormone involved and its origin and action.
5. Discuss possible treatment and prevention.
