Amiodarone and thyroid function

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1989
Amiodarone blocks the action of thyroid hormone by the inhibition of 5'-deiodinase which reduces production of T3 in peripheral tissues and possibly by blocking nuclear binding of T3. Since the drug inhibits peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, many patients taking amiodarone have abnormal thyroid function studies (increased T4 and rT3; decreased T3 ...

Emergencies in Thyroid Function

Journal of Emergency Nursing, 2009
The thyroid gland can be an overlooked source of a medical emergency. This butterfly-shaped gland is located just inferior to the larynx on the anterior neck and is responsible for the metabolic rate of many processes in the human body. A hyperthyroid state elevates the rate of metabolism, and a hypothyroid state is cause for a decreased metabolic rate.
