HYPOTHYROIDISM may be primary due to causes within the thyroid gland or less commonly secondary due to failure of TSH production. There is decreased production of T3 and T4 by thyroid.

HYPERTHYROIDISM :- The clinical condition consequent upon over production of T3 or both T3 and T4 is referred to as Hyperthyroidism or Thyrotoxicosis. It is found much more frequently in women than in men (8:1), usually in the third to sixth decade. Thyrotoxicosis may occur rarely in the new born. This form of hyperthyroidism is self limiting. If thyrotoxicosis occurs before epiphyseal fusion there is an increase in the growth rate so that affected children are unusually tall for their age

HYPOTHYROIDISM may be primary due to causes within the thyroid gland or less commonly secondary due to failure of TSH production. There is decreased production of T3 and T4 by thyroid.
