A 60-year-old woman has TSH below 0.01 and a palpable 2-cm thyroid nodule. Free T4 is mildly elevated. TRAb is negative. What test best distinguishes autonomous nodule from destructive thyroiditis or Graves pattern?
A patient has low TSH, high free T4, low thyroglobulin, absent uptake, and access to a relative's levothyroxine prescription. There is no neck pain. What is the most likely cause?
A patient with a pituitary macroadenoma has low free T4, low testosterone, low IGF-1, and morning cortisol 3 mcg/dL. He asks which hormone to replace first. What is the safest sequence?
A 61-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, BMI 36 kg/m2, A1c 8.0%, eGFR 74, and no heart failure is taking metformin. She wants weight loss and fewer injections than basal-bolus insulin. Which add-on best matches the 2025 ADA risk-based approach?
A 69-year-old man with atrial fibrillation has TSH below 0.01, free T4 mildly high, negative TRAb, and a 3-cm right thyroid nodule. Radioiodine uptake is high only in the nodule with suppression of the remaining gland. What is the diagnosis?
