Ko ngā tohu taiwhatiwhati ētahi o ngā tohu ka warewarehia i roto i te rongoā, nā te mea ka puhoi te puta mai, ā, he rite ki ētahi atu mate maha. Ko te ngenge ka tahurihia ki te taumaha. Ko te whakarerekē o te taumaha ka tahurihia ki te pakeke. Ko te kohu roro ka tahurihia ki te tino pukumahi.

Kāore koe e whakaaro noa iho. Tata ki te 20 miriona Amerikana kei a rātou ētahi momo mate taiwhatiwhati, ā, tae atu ki te 60% kāore anō kia mōhio ki taua mea. Ko te rongo pai ko te māmā o te rongoā i ngā raruraru taiwhatiwhati i te wā e kitea ai, ā, kua māmā ake te whakamātautau i tēnei wā, mā te telehealth.

Ko tēnei āwhā e ārahi ana i a koe mā ngā tohu motuhake o te mate taiwhatiwhati, me pēhea te whakamātautau ipurangi, ā, ko te tikanga i muri i te kitenga.

He aha te mahi a tō taiwhatiwhati?

Ko tō taiwhatiwhati he kōpuku iti, āhua parirua, kei raro o tō korokoro e whakaputa ana i ngā homoni matua e rua: T3 (triiodothyronine) me T4 (thyroxine). Ko ēnei homoni e whakahaere ana i te nuinga o ngā tukanga pākia katoa o tō tinana, mai i te whakaputa pūngao ki te pāmahana tinana ki te pāhūhū o te ngākau ki te ngākau.

Ki te iti rawa te homoni e whakaputaina e te taiwhatiwhati, ka huarāngia te hypothyroidism (taiwhatiwhati iti te mahi). Ki te nui rawa te whakaputa, ka huarāngia te hyperthyroidism (taiwhatiwhati kaha te mahi). Ko ēte rāua e whakaputa ana i ngā tauira tohu motuhake, ahakoa ka pā tahi ki ngā huarahi whakapōrearea.

Ngā tohu o te taiwhatiwhati iti te mahi (hypothyroidism)

Ko te hypothyroidism te mate taiwhatiwhati tino noa, e pā ana ki te 5 o te 100 o ngā Amerikana, ā, ko te nuinga ko ngā wāhine kua pakeke ake i te 60 tau. Ka puhoi te puta mai, nā reira te nuinga o te tangata e noho ana i a ia me te kore e kitea mō ngā tau.

Ngā tohu noa o te hypothyroidism:

• Te ngenge tonu kāore e pai ake i te okioki.
• Te taumaha kāore e whakamāramatia, te uaua rānei ki te whakaheke taumaha.
• Te ngāngare ki te makariri, te māhana ahakoa te hunga e pai ana te āhua.

• Te pāhūhū o te ngākau puhoi.
• Te pupuhi o te mata, ina koa huri noa i ngā kanohi.
• Te pōuri o te reo, te whakarerekē rānei o te reo.

Ki te rite ētahi o ēnei ki a koe, he pai te whakakore i te hypothyroidism mā te whakamātautau toto ngāwari.

Ngā tohu o te taiwhatiwhati kaha te mahi (hyperthyroidism)

He iti ake te noa o te hyperthyroidism engari he rite tonu te nui o te kite. E pā ana ki te 1 o te 100 o ngā Amerikana, ā, ka puta mai te kaha ake i te hypothyroidism.

Ngā tohu noa o te hyperthyroidism:

• Te whakaheke taumaha ohorere ahakoa te kai noa, te nui rānei o te hiahia.
• Te pāhūhū o te ngākau tere, te kāore rānei i te noa (i te nuinga o te wā neke atu i te 100 bpm).

• Te taiwhatiwhati nui (goiter) e kitea ana i raro o te korokoro.
• Te pakaru o ngā kanohi (i roto i te mate a Graves).

Ngā whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati e tirotirohia ana

Ko te whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati paerewa he mahi toto ngāwari. Ko te nuinga o ngā whare whakamātautau kei roto:

• TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). Ko te whakamātautau tuatahi tino nui. Ko te TSH teitei e tohu ana i te hypothyroidism; ko te TSH iti e tohu ana i te hyperthyroidism.
• Free T4 (thyroxine). Ka whakapumau mena he iti, he nui rānei ngā taumata homoni taiwhatiwhati.
• Free T3 (triiodothyronine). I ētahi wā ka tāpirihia, ina koa mō te hyperthyroidism.
• Nga antibodies taiwhatiwhati (TPO, TgAb). Ka kitea ngā mate taiwhatiwhati autoimmune pēnei i te mate a Hashimoto me te mate a Graves.
• Reverse T3. I ētahi wā ka tonoa mō ngā take uaua.

Ko te katoa o te paerewa taiwhatiwhati ka utu i te $50-$150 ki tētahi whare whakamātautau pēnei i a Quest, LabCorp rānei me te kore inihua, ā, $10-$40 rānei me te inihua. Ko ngā kete whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati i te kāinga mai i a Everlywell, LetsGetChecked, Paloma Health rānei ka rere mai i te $80-$150 i runga i ngā homoni ka whakamātauria.

Me pēhea te whiwhi whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati ipurangi

Kua tino māmā ake te telehealth ki te whiwhi whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati me te kore te tatari wiki maha mō tētahi tohunga endocrinologist.

Te tikanga noa:

• Taahinga 1: Tukunga tohu. Whakaahuatia ō tohu, tō hitori whānau, me ngā āwangawanga taiwhatiwhati o mua. Ka roa te 5-10 meneti.
• Taahinga 2: Kōrero ataata, whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. Ka aro mātai tētahi tākuta whai raihana i tō take, i roto i ngā meneti.
• Taahinga 3: Tono whakamātautau. Ka tono te kaiwhakarato i tētahi paerewa TSH (me ētahi atu whakamātautau mena ka tika) ki tētahi whare whakamātautau ā-rohe pēnei i a Quest, LabCorp rānei. Ka tukuna hoki ngā kete kāinga mā ētahi atu papaa.
• Taahinga 4: Kohikohinga tauira. He tere te tango toto i te whare whakamātautau (i te nuinga o te wā 15 meneti) me te tauira mai i te matimati i te kāinga.
• Taahinga 5: Arotake hua. Ka tae mai ngā hua i te 2-5 ra. Ka arotakehia e tō kaiwhakarato mā te karere, ataata rānei, ā, ka whakamārama i ngā taahinga e whai ake nei.
• Taahinga 6: Rongoā mena ka hiahiatia. Mō te hypothyroidism kua whakapumautia, ka taea te tuku rongoā levothyroxine (Synthroid) ki tō whare rongoā ā-rohe i taua rā.

A, no te kite i tētahi tākuta ā-tinana

Ētahi āhuatanga ka hiahiatia he aromātai ā-tinana engari kaua ko te telehealth anake:

• Te pāhūhū o te ngākau neke atu i te 120 bpm me te atrial fibrillation hou.
• Ngā tohu kaha ohorere e tohu ana i te whatiwhatiwhatiwhati (he onge engari he kino).
• Goiter kitea, nodules taiwhatiwhati e hiahiatia ana he aromātai tinana me te imaging.
• Te hapūtanga me ngā tohu taiwhatiwhati hou (kia uru tahi te OB-endocrinologist).
• Te mate taiwhatiwhati tawhito uaua me ngā taumata e huri ana.
• Te whakaaro mō te rongoā iodine radioactive me te pokanga taiwhatiwhati.

Ngā pātai auau

He aha ngā tohu tuatahi o ngā raruraru taiwhatiwhati?

Ko ngā tohu tuatahi he ngāwari, he ngāwari hoki te wareware: te ngenge tonu, te whakarerekē taumaha kāore e whakamāramatia, te whakarerekē o te ngākau, me te whakarerekē o te kaha ki te makariri, ki te wera rānei. Ka puta nui hoki te kikokiko o te makawe me te kohu roro i te tīmatanga. Nā te mea ka pā tahi ēnei tohu ki ētahi atu mate maha, ko te whakamātautau toto TSH ngāwari te ara tere ki te tirotiro.

Ka taea e au te whakamātautau taiwhatiwhati me te kore e kite i tētahi tākuta i te tuatahi?

E rua ā Tō ara. Ko ngā kete ā-kaiwhakamahi tika-ki-te-kaiwhakamahi (Everlywell, LetsGetChecked, Paloma Health) ka taea e koe te tono whakamātautau tika me te kore kōrero ki tētahi kaiwhakarato, ahakoa ka hiahia koe ki tētahi tākuta ki te whakamaori i ngā hua. Ko ngā kōrero telehealth kei roto te tono, te whakamātautau, me te arotake hua tahi, ā, ka iti ake te utu katoa.

He aha te rerekē i waenganui i te TSH me te T4?

Ko te TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) ka whakaputaina e tō pituitary gland, ā, ka korero ki tō taiwhatiwhati kia nui ake te homoni. Ko te T4 (thyroxine) te homoni pono e whakaputaina ana e tō taiwhatiwhati. Ko te TSH teitei me te T4 iti ka whakapumau i te hypothyroidism. Ko te TSH iti me te T4 teitei ka whakapumau i te hyperthyroidism.

Me whakamahi rongoā taiwhatiwhati mō te ora?

I te nuinga o te wā, āe, mō te hypothyroidism. Ko te Levothyroxine (Synthroid) he tauira hangai o te homoni kia puta tō taiwhatiwhati, ā, ko te tango i ia rā ka whakahoki anō ngā taumata ki te noa. Ka taea te whakarerekē ngā tikanga i runga i te mahi toto, i te nuinga o te wā ia 6-12 marama i te wā e noho ana.

Ka taea e ngā raruraru taiwhatiwhati te puta te manawapopopopo me te pouri?

Āe, ā rāua. Ko te hypothyroidism ka puta te pouri, te ngākau iti, me te kohu roro. Ko te hyperthyroidism ka puta te manawapopopopo, te mataku, me te riri. Ko te rongoā i te take taiwhatiwhati ka whakaora hoki i ngā tohu hauora hinengaro.

Kia pehea te roa o te mahi a te rongoā taiwhatiwhati?

Ka tīmata te mahi a te Levothyroxine i roto i te 1-2 wiki, engari ko te whakaoranga katoa o ngā tohu ka roa te 6-8 wiki i te wā e noho ana ngā taumata. Ka whakamātautauria anō e tō kaiwhakarato te TSH i te 6-8 wiki ki te whakapumau i te tika o te tikanga, ā, muri iho ia 6-12 marama i te wā e noho ana.
