thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)
Nursing dx

Medical managements  Excess iodine
Overproduction of thyroid hormones in the blood makes
Diagnostic tests the blood vessels dilate
If not treated
If treated  Methimazole
 Radioactive iodine
Disease process  Thyroidectomy Hyperthyroidism  Swelling of the neck

Blood tests

Decrease systemic vascular resistance


Decrease arterial filling volume Juxtoglomerular stimulates renin release Conversion of angiotensin in the liver to angiotensin I
to the blood stream

Angiotensin I passes through the lung capillaries

Sodium retention ACE in lung capillaries converts angiotensin I to


Release of aldosterone in the adrenal glands
angiotensin II
