Abstract

Thyroid storm is a syndrome described in human medicine to define a multisystemic disorder resulting from organ exposure to excessive levels of thyroid hormone. This form of acute thyrotoxicosis, although uncommon, can be life threatening and is a significant cause of mortality in human emergency rooms. Although thyroid storm is a well-recognized clinical entity in human medicine, it has not been described in veterinary medicine. This article discusses the human syndrome and defines a similar syndrome in hyperthyroid veterinary patients. The clinical signs of and treatment modalities for feline thyroid storm are also presented.

摘要

甲状腺危象是人类医学中描述的一种综合征，用于定义器官暴露于过量甲状腺激素导致的多系统紊乱。这种急性甲状腺毒症形式虽然不常见，但可能危及生命，是人类急诊室死亡的重要原因。尽管甲状腺危象在人类医学中是一个广为人知的临床实体，但在兽医学中尚未有描述。本文讨论了人类综合征，并定义了甲状腺功能亢进的兽医患者中的类似综合征。还介绍了猫甲状腺危象的临床症状和治疗方式。
