Spanish to English: Hyperthyroidism General field: Medical
Source text - Spanish Es un síndrome clínico causado por la excesiva circulación de hormona tiroidea en el torrente circulatorio. Como la actividad de la glándula tiroides afecta a casi todos los sistemas corporales, el exceso de hormona incrementa las funciones normales y provoca un estado hipermetabólico. Un factor significativo que aumenta la incidencia de este trastorno es la historia familiar de hipertiroidismo. También pueden ser causa de hipertiroidismo los bocios tóxicos nodulares, en los que funcionan en exceso y de manera autónoma uno o más adenomas tiroideos.
La enfermedad de Graves, originada por el bocio tóxico difuso, es responsable de cerca del 85 % de los casos conocidos de hipertiroidismo. Esta patología se caracteriza por exacerbaciones y remisiones espontáneas ante las que el tratamiento no es eficaz. La causa de esta enfermedad es desconocida, pero los avances recientes en las técnicas diagnósticas han logrado aislar en la mayoría de estos pacientes una inmunoglobulina llamada estimulador tiroideo de acción prolongada, lo que sugiere que la enfermedad de Graves es autoinmune.
La crisis tirotóxica o tormenta tiroidea es la forma más grave de hipertiroidismo. En ella se ponen repentinamente en circulación por el torrente circulatorio grandes cantidades de hormona tiroidea, lo que incrementa aún más el metabolismo corporal. Consecuentemente, se trata de una urgencia médica. Los factores que la desencadenan incluyen infección, traumatismo y estrés emocional, ya que todos ellos incrementan la demanda en el metabolismo fisiológico. A pesar del tratamiento enérgico, la crisis tiroidea causa la muerte de cerca del 20 % de los pacientes.
Los signos y síntomas principales de esta enfermedad suelen ser pulso rápido, irregularidades menstruales, pérdida de peso, intolerancia al calor, cansancio, aumento de la sudoración, ansiedad, temblores e insomnio.
Tanto el diagnóstico como el tratamiento adecuado de esta patología dependen del reconocimiento de sus signos y síntomas y también de la determinación de su etiología. El estudio de sus causas se inicia con la verificación de los niveles séricos de hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH).
Translation - English Hyperthyroidism is a clinical syndrome caused by excessive circulation of the thyroid hormone in the bloodstream. Since thyroid gland activity affects almost every body system, excess of the hormone increases normal functions and causes a hypermetabolic state. Family history of hyperthyroidism is a significant factor that increases the incidence of this disorder. Toxic nodular goiters, where one or more thyroid adenomas functions autonomously and excessively, may also be a cause of hyperthyroidism.
Graves disease, which results from a diffuse thyrotoxic goiter, is responsible for close to 85% of known cases of hyperthyroidism. This pathology is characterized by spontaneous exacerbations and remissions that do not respond effectively to treatment. The cause of this disease is unknown, but recent advances in diagnostic techniques have managed to isolate an immunoglobulin called long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) in the majority of patients, which suggests that Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder.
Thyrotoxic crisis, or thyroid storm, is the most serious form of hyperthyroidism. Large quantities of the thyroid hormone repeatedly circulate in the bloodstream, which further increases the body’s metabolism. Therefore, it constitutes a medical emergency. Precipitating factors include infection, trauma, and emotional stress since they all increase the demand on the physiological metabolism. Despite aggressive treatment, thyroid crisis leads to death in close to 20% of patients.
The main signs and symptoms of this disease tend to be fast pulse, irregular menstrual periods, weight loss, heat intolerance, fatigue, increased sweating, anxiety, tremors, and insomnia.
Both diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this pathology depend on recognizing signs and symptoms and also on determining the etiology. Studying the causes begins with checking the serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels.

Having grown up in southern California with both Hispanic and European roots, I appreciated the beauty of different languages and culture from an early age. Languages became a full-fledged passion and they are now a part of who I am.
As a Spanish-English translator, interpreter, editor, and language materials developer, I have now dedicated myself to bridging the communication gap. I have over nine years of experience translating, editing, interpreting, and educating. I received my professional certificate in translation and interpretation from UC San Diego Extension, where I also specialized in medical translation. I have been trained in simultaneous interpretation, consecutive interpretation, and sight translation. I am also available for travel and can be an excellent escort interpreter so language is never a barrier.
I have lived in Costa Rica for over six years and feel lucky to call this area of the world my home.
