==Overview==
==[[Euthyroid sick syndrome overview|Overview]]==
[[Euthyroid sick syndrome]] is a [[thyroid hormone]] disorder where the levels of T3 ([[triiodothyronine]]) and/or T4 ([[thyroxine]]) are at unusual levels, in the setting of a nonthyroidal [[illness]]. [[Euthyroid]] sick [[syndrome]] is seen in conditions of [[starvation]] and [[critical illness]] such as [[sepsis]], [[surgery]], and [[bone marrow transplantation]]. During these [[Stress (medicine)|stress]] conditions, there occurs [[hypermetabolism]], increased energy expenditure, [[hyperglycemia]], and muscle loss. It is speculated, that the body in order to contain this [[hypermetabolism]] induces some degree of [[hypothyroidism]] by inhibiting deiodination of [[T4]] to [[Triiodothyronine|T3]] by the enzyme 5’-monodeiodinase. This is an adaptive process by which the body prevents further [[muscle]] and [[calorie]] loss. [[Euthyroid]] sick syndrome presents with low serum [[T3]]. Depending upon the severity and duration of the [[Stress (medicine)|stress]] inducing condition, the thyroid-stimulating hormone([[Thyroid-stimulating hormone|TSH]]), [[thyroxine]] (T4), and [[free T4]] (FT4) are affected in variable proportions.<ref name="pmid9712558">{{cite journal |vauthors=Plank LD, Connolly AB, Hill GL |title=Sequential changes in the metabolic response in severely septic patients during the first 23 days after the onset of peritonitis |journal=Ann.

T3 is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone. Normally most of the T3 is produced by peripheral deiodination of circulating T4 by the enzyme 5’-monodeiodinase. In euthyroid sick syndrome there occurs inhibition of the enzyme 5΄-deiodinase and it leads to decrease conversion of T4 to T3.

Ill patients may have normal to low TSH depending on the spectrum of illness. Total T4 and T3 levels may be altered by [[binding protein]] abnormalities, and medications. [[Reverse T3]] are generally increased signifying inhibition of normal Type 1 enzyme or reduced clearance of reverse T3. Measurement of free T4 and/or free T3 levels will be normal.
