What is the prognosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I had gone through all the data posted. From the details posted, it appears to be autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's). Kindly tell us the thyroid blood reports to know the control. Do you hear any sound while breathing (stridor), which indicates pressure on the trachea? Breathlessness on lying back or on the side is unlikely due to thyroid unless it has a significant retrosternal extension, which needs to be decided by clinical examination.

What do high MPV and giant platelet in CBC mean?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I had gone through all the reports posted (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Mean platelet volume suggests the mean volume of a single platelet, which is high and is mostly an incidental finding. Some bleeding disorders, like functional defects of platelets, are associated with giant platelets. Also, in case of increased production of platelets, they are released into circulation before they mature, and so, immature platelets will be giant.

What are the risks of severe left atrial dilation?

Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have reviewed your query. While ablation can help prevent atrial fibrillation (AF), it is unlikely to restore the atrial size to its normal state. The primary risk associated with atrial dilation in AF is the formation of blood clots within the left atrial appendage, which can lead to embolism and increase the risk of stroke.Typically, a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is performed to rule out the presence of a thrombus before considering direct current cardioversion (DCC).
