Acknowledgement
I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to my professor Dr. Robert Denopol, who was abundantly helpful in terms of offering invaluable assistance, support, guidance, precious time, and wisdom. His willingness to motivate me contributed tremendously to my research.
I offer our sincerest gratitude to patient C.D, an identified resident in Baybayon, Mabini, Bohol having thyroid problem, for her efforts and cooperation. Without her these case study would not have been completed or written.
An honorable mention goes to my family and friends for their support in completing this case study.
Above all, to God the Almighty, who have created all good things in this world, our eternal source of inspiration and saving graces, we heartily dedicate this humble contribution to the Nursing profession.
Introduction
Hyperthyroidism, a term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland, resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) or both. Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level, affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body. It functions as a stimulus for metabolism.
Hyperthyroidism, considered as the second most common endocrine disorder. It results from an excessive output of thyroid hormones due to abnormal stimulation of the thyroid gland by circulating immunoglobulin. This disorder affects women eight times more frequently than men and peaks between the second and fourth decades of life. It generally occurs between 20 and 40 years old and is more common in females.
