Graves' disease is seen in the majority of patients diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The usual symptoms of Graves' disease are tremors, weight loss, sweating, exophthalmos, pretibial edema, anxiety, and palpitations. However, there could be unusual manifestations such as hepatic failure and pulmonary hypertension. We present the case of a 31-year-old female with Graves' disease with these two rare complications, which resolved with medical management in about three months. To the author's knowledge, this is the second case of a patient with this type of presentation.
大多数被诊断为甲状腺功能亢进的患者患有格雷夫斯病。格雷夫斯病的常见症状包括震颤、体重减轻、出汗、突眼、胫前水肿、焦虑和心悸。然而,也可能出现诸如肝衰竭和肺动脉高压等不寻常的表现。我们报告一例31岁患有格雷夫斯病并伴有这两种罕见并发症的女性病例,该病例通过药物治疗在大约三个月内得到缓解。据作者所知,这是第二例出现这种表现的患者。
