Hallo,

es geht um die durch *Schilddrüsenautonomie* verursachte Hyperthyreoseform. Gebe ich "thyroid autonomy" bei google ein, kommen zwar viele Treffer, jedoch meist von Nichtmuttersprachlern (deutsche Autoren).

Was ist der korrekte Begriff hier?

Danke!

agree  Lirka: I'd definitely add "tissue/nodule", otherwise this is the only valid answer so far. It's not about autonomy of thyroid function, but "autonomy" of part of the thyroid, usually called "hot nodules". I proposed a separate answer b/c it's so commonly used.

hot nodule


Explanation:
"A hot nodule is defined as a nodular region of the thyroid gland that takes up large amounts of radioactive iodine relative to the rest of the thyroid gland, hence it is visualized as a "hot spot" on the thyroid scan. The majority of hot nodules function autonomously, and have lost their normal ability to be regulated by TSH. Accordingly, they often produce excess amounts of thyroid hormone, and eventually result in the development of hyperthyroidism. "

toxic goitre/Plummer's disease


Explanation:
Pschyrembel (2002) übersetzt "disseminierte Autonomie der Schilddrüse" mit "diffuse toxic goitre" und "multifokale Autonomie der Schilddrüse" mit "multinodular toxic goitre".

http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goitre

Die Wiki-Definitionen der "Plummer's disease" sind widersprüchlich:

neutral  SJLD: diffuse toxic goitre = Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goitre = Plummer's disease - but I think a general term is needed here - without context hard to say
