| rdfs:comment | - Hyperthyroidism was a disease of humans in which the thyroid went haywire, speeding up different type of bodily functions. A cure was found circa 2118. Vulcans never suffered from the disorder. In 2268, Leonard McCoy compared the effects of a poison injected in Spock on Octavius IV to those of hyperthyroidism. TOS novel: Legacy)
- Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease, like diabetes; those with endocrine-related disorders are more prone to various types of neuropathy. As with diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism can mean polydipsia and polyuria symptoms.

The US Food and Drug Administration approved a feline hyperthyroid treatment June 12, 2009, called Felimazole. Felimazole is made by Dechra, UK.
- Hyperthyroidism is a metabolic disease with several underlying causes. In all cases, the thyroid gland, or part of it, overproduces the thyroid hormones responsible for regulating metabolism, resulting in an increased metabolic rate that is characterized by weight loss, anxiety, and the primary life-threatening symptom - heart arrhythmia and rapid heartrate. Once suspected, the disease can easily be diagnosed with a blood test.

- Hyperthyroidism is a metabolic disease with several underlying causes. In all cases, the thyroid gland, or part of it, overproduces the thyroid hormones responsible for regulating metabolism, resulting in an increased metabolic rate that is characterized by weight loss, anxiety, and the primary life-threatening symptom - heart arrhythmia and rapid heartrate. The usual underlying cause is Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes antibodies to release too much of one of the hormones, thyroxin, as in response to an infection. However, an adenoma in the thyroid gland can also lead to overproduction of the hormone, as can inflammation of the thyroid gland. Once suspected, the disease can easily be diagnosed with a blood test. There are two types of treatment. The first is the use of drugs that interfere with the production of the hormone. However, as these have to be taken indefinitely, radiation treatment (such as the ingestion of radioactive iodine) is often used to destroy part of the gland. However, this treatment can often lead to the opposite condition - hypothyroidism.
