A physician examines a patient who reports that he has experienced excessive sweating, irritability, and feverish episodes. Assay of hormones in blood reveal that thyroid hormone levels are abnormally high, and TSH levels are low. An RAIU (radioactive iodine uptake scan) reveals a hot spot on the thyroid, indicating a localized region of intense iodine uptake. What do you predict that this patient’s diagnosis will be? How would you attempt to treat such a condition?
