Hyperthyroidism (low TSH, High T4/T3) - Diagnostic Algorithm

Radioactive iodine scan – get if concern for nodular thyroid disease!
Remember – contraindicated if pregnant or breast feeding!
Graves disease – TRAB 97-99% sensitive and specific, so if positive, you’ve diagnosed Graves disease!
Key teaching point: Check pregnancy test immediately because pregnancy affects diagnostic workup choices AND management options (see below)!
