This review article discusses recent updates on the skin manifestations associated with thyroid disease, emphasizing their role as early indicators of thyroid hormone dysregulation.

Some people with chronic hair loss may have thyroid autoimmunity.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

This retrospective study of 500 female patients with telogen effluvium found that those with hypothyroidism had more severe hair loss compared to those with normal thyroid function or hyperthyroidism, highlighting the importance of thyroid function testing in these cases.

This review provides a detailed overview of Hashimoto thyroiditis, discussing its epidemiology, risk factors, genetic and environmental contributors, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment plans due to varied causes and symptoms.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman whose cardiac arrest was linked to hyperthyroidism-induced pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure, with significant improvement following the treatment of her thyroid dysfunction.

This study found that euthyroid women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis experienced less benefit from atorvastatin treatment in terms of cardiometabolic marker improvements compared to women with hypercholesterolemia but without thyroid issues, indicating a differential response in these populations.

This research observed that some hypothyroid patients on adequate levothyroxine therapy continue to experience symptoms like poor concentration and hair loss, with findings suggesting an elevated anti-TPO level increases the likelihood of such symptoms, despite normal TSH levels.

In this study, researchers found that overt hyperthyroidism was the most prevalent thyroid disorder among patients, especially in women, and it was characterized by classic symptoms like high pulse rate and weight loss, highlighting the importance of early identification and management to prevent complications.

In this case report, significant improvements in a 58-year-old male with severe refractory myasthenia gravis and concurrent alopecia areata were observed following a cortisone taper, suggesting a potential therapeutic role, especially after thymectomy.

This case report highlights that a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone was misdiagnosed as having Graves’ disease, leading to unnecessary radioactive iodine treatment.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This study found that patients with thyroid dysfunction were more likely to experience skin disorders such as chronic idiopathic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia areata compared to a control group.

In this study, researchers found that Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients, despite being in euthyroid status, experienced more severe extrathyroidal symptoms compared to healthy controls, and elevated thyroid antibodies were linked to lower health-related quality of life and increased inflammation.

In this case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma. The authors suggest that thyroid function should be monitored when using VEGF inhibitor therapies due to potential adverse effects.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman with achalasia, pangastritis, and hyperthyroidism, highlighting the rare association between achalasia and autoimmune conditions like hyperthyroidism.

In this study, pregnant women with isolated hypothyroxinemia experienced more asthenia, dry skin, hair loss, fragile nails, vomiting, and anemia, suggesting a negative impact on pregnancy despite treatment.

This study found that specific and nonspecific skin changes can serve as important indicators for diagnosing thyroid diseases, even in patients who appear clinically normal.

In this study, a 50-year-old woman with symptoms of thyroid dysfunction improved after receiving Ayurvedic treatment with Gandharvahastadi Kwath and lifestyle modifications, which alleviated symptoms like fatigue, muscle cramps, and dry skin, and normalized her TSH levels.

In this study, researchers reported that individuals from iodine-deficient regions have an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism from MDR-TB treatment regimens containing PAS and/or Prothionamide.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata have a significantly higher prevalence of thyroid disorders and elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid auto-antibodies compared to healthy individuals, with a 4.7 times greater risk of thyroid dysfunction among alopecia areata patients.

This case report describes a rare instance of Hashimoto thyroiditis evolving into Graves' disease, emphasizing the potential for such transitions and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that topical application of triiodothyronine (T3) can induce the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase in mice and stimulate hair shaft growth in vitro.

In this case study, a Labrador dog diagnosed with hypothyroidism and treated with Thyroxine sodium, along with other supportive therapies, recovered completely from a generalized skin infection and alopecia within three months.

This study identified acute localized telogen effluvium as a histopathologic mechanism for temporal hair loss following rhytidectomy.

In this case report, a young man with primary hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune atrophic thyroiditis showed full recovery and normalization of metabolism after levothyroxine treatment.

This case study highlighted that excessive iodide intake from the supplement TauriNac was associated with the development of hypothyroidism in a cystic fibrosis patient, which reversed upon discontinuation.

This study found that patients with hypothyroidism and hair loss exhibited significant differences in dermoscopic findings, including hair shaft abnormalities and vascular changes, compared to euthyroid individuals.

This study revealed that manual thyroid examinations in alopecia patients may uncover thyroid abnormalities undetectable by blood tests alone, but further research is needed to assess their clinical importance.

This case report illustrates that high-dose biotin supplementation can cause false thyroid function test abnormalities in vitro, emphasizing the need to assess biotin intake before testing.
