Abstract

The thyroid gland is located in the front part of the larynx and is composed of two lobes. It secretes thyroid hormones T4 and T3, which had the main and most important role in the work of all organs in the body, as well as maintaining normal body temperature. Thyroid gland stimulation it receives from the hypothalamus, that is, from the thyroid-stimulating hormone. There are various disorders of the thyroid gland such as goiter, functional disorders (hyperfunction or hypofunction), inflammatory and tumorous diseases. In this article are presented two female patients aged 41 and 43 years, both diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Тhe first symptom in both patients was a sudden loss of body weight. after the analysis, the results showed that there are deviations in the thyroid hormones, that is, extremely high values of T4 hormone and extremely low values of TSH. Аfter the diagnosis of the patients, they were treated with appropriate therapy given by an endocrinologist, i.e. both patients were treated with T. Thiamazole. With the recommended therapy, the condition of the patients began to stabilize and they reported feeling much better.
