Patient Type Detail Header (Long)
Defined as low or suppressed TSH (<0.01 mIU/L) due to thyroiditis, w/ high free T4 (and/or high total T3). Most pts w/ thyrotoxicosis are asymptomatic. If present, sx may include palpitations, heat intolerance, restlessness or anxiety, fine tremor, and/or wt loss. Thyrotoxicosis occurs in ~5% of pts receiving anti–PD-1/PD-L1 ICPi and in 4% of pts receiving anti–CTLA-4 ICPi, and rarely may lead to Graves dz. Approximately 50% to 90% of thyrotoxicosis cases evolve into hypothyroidism, requiring long-term levothyroxine replacement. Median time to thyrotoxicosis is 5wk after ICPi initiation; usual duration is 4-6wk.<sup>1-3</sup>
