If indicated, consider treatment with metformin to help decrease overall insulin resistance and insulin therapy in conjunction with steroid or Acthar Gel doses.
Case Study
Case: A 40-year-old man with a history of MS presents to you for new-onset hyperglycemia. He has no prior history of diabetes mellitus. Three days ago, administration of methylprednisone 500 mg daily was started for symptoms of an acute MS. He takes methylprednisone every morning and is to complete 4 days of steroids for a total of 7 days. He reports symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia that started yesterday. You do a fingerstick glucose test, and the result is
389. He weighs 95 kg. What is the best way to manage this patient’s hyperglycemia?
This patient has no prior history of diabetes but now has steroid-induced hyperglycemia. NPH insulin can often be used safely in patients with steroid-induced hyperglycemia, as its duration of action matches steroids with an intermediate half-life (methylprednisone, prednisone). The total daily insulin dose can be calculated by multiplying
0.2 U/kg. Half of this would be the patient’s basal requirement. NPH insulin has a duration of action of 12 hours; thus, taking half of the basal requirement would be an appropriate starting NPH dose. Therefore, this patient should be given NPH 10 U daily to be administered with the steroid dose. Also, metformin can be used with the insulin to optimize glucose control. Although insulin promotes weight gain, metformin may help attenuate weight changes and often helps with weight loss.

Thyroid Disorders
Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder
https://t.me/medicina_free
In the general population, autoimmune thyroid disorder (AITD) has an estimated prevalence of 5% and is higher in females as well as patients with other autoimmune disorders. In one meta-analysis, a summary estimate of prevalence of AITD in patients with MS was 6.44%. 39 AITD presents as three clinical phenotypes: autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto), autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves disease [GD]), and silent thyroiditis.
Autoimmune hypothyroidism, characterized by elevated thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies, is the most common. It is a painless, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis that develops over years, eventually resulting in hypothyroidism. Treatment involves thyroid replacement hormone and is routinely managed in primary care. Autoimmune hyperthyroidism is the second most common phenotype, caused by uncontrolled stimulation of the TSH or thyrotropin receptor by thyroid receptor antibodies (TRAbs), resulting in thyroid hormone overproduction. Clinically, patients present like GD and can even develop orbitopathy. Treatment is a bit more complicated, involving months of antithyroid medications (i.e., methimazole) or definitive treatment with radioactive iodine or thyroidectomy. Symptomatic treatment with a beta­blocker (i.e., propranolol) is often used. Finally, AITD can be exhibited as silent thyroiditis, a painless, self-limited subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis. There are often positive TPO antibodies, similar to hypothyroidism, but the clinical course is different. It starts with hyperthyroid symptoms due to inflammation and leakage of thyroid hormone and then leads to transient hypothyroidism, with gradual return of normal thyroid function over weeks to months. Ultrasound uptake and scan of the thyroid during the hyperthyroid state often shows decreased uptake (as opposed to increased uptake in Graves). Treatment is primarily supportive care and close monitoring.
Screening for AITD would entail evaluating clinical symptoms for hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism and checking serum TSH and free T4. Diagnosis of AITD is made via clinical symptoms and laboratory studies: serum TSH, free T4, and antibodies (TPO antibodies for hypothyroidism, TRAbs for
https://t.me/medicina_free
hyperthyroidism). Treatment depends on diagnosis, and close follow-up with endocrinology is recommended.

Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid nodules are often found incidentally, either on clinical examination or on imaging done for another purpose. They are very common, occurring in up to 50% of the general population by age 60 years. They are most often benign (over 90%), but all nodules should be further evaluated for hyperactivity or malignancy. A formal thyroid ultrasound scan should be ordered, as well as serum TSH and free T4 to assess if the nodule is producing any excessive thyroid hormone. Most thyroid nodules are nonfunctioning and do not cause any symptoms. Rarely, if a nodule is large enough, it can cause compressive symptoms, such as dysphagia or hoarseness. If on ultrasound scan the nodule has suspicious features, such as size >2 cm, calcifications, irregular margins, taller than wide, or evidence of extrathyroidal extension, patients should be referred to endocrinology for a fine-needle biopsy and further evaluation.
42
Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada)-Related Thyroid Dysfunction
Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal anti-CD52 used to treat relapsing forms of MS. The precise mechanism is not fully understood, but it appears to be depletion then repopulation of T and B lymphocytes in an attempt to shift the immunologic balance. This immune reconstitution phase may result in the formation of autoantibodies, including those targeting the thyroid.
40,43
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the most
common autoimmune disorder after treatment, followed by immune thrombocytopenia and glomerular nephropathies. In phase 3 clinical trials, there was a 40.7% chance of thyroid­related adverse events within 5 years, with a peak at 3 years post treatment (16% in the CARE-MS trials [phase 3 comparison of alemtuzumab vs interferon beta 1a in relapsing remitting MS]).
40,43,44
Hyperthyroidism was four times more
https://t.me/medicina_free
prevalent than hypothyroidism and more common than subacute thyroiditis.
41,43
Thyroid dysfunction was typically
mild to moderate, its incidence peaked at year 3, and it either self-resolved (one in three cases of hyperthyroidism) or was treatable along current guidelines. In the 10-year phase 2 CAMMS223 (phase 2 study of alemtuzumab vs interferon beta 1 a in early relapsing remitting MS) study as well as the phase 3 CARE-MS (phase 3 comparison of alemtuzumab and interferon beta 1a efficacy in RRMS) study, no deaths occurred as a result of thyroid events.
40,43,44
A 2016 Belgian task force proposed a clinical management algorithm to address alemtuzumab treatment-related thyroid adverse events (Figure 10.1). 40 The clinical management algorithm and recommendations are similar to those proposed by Devonshire et al, in the Journal of Neurology, 2018.
44
Before starting alemtuzumab, patients should be evaluated for risk factors for thyroid disease (family history, prior head/neck irradiation, or smoking), current or prior treatment for thyroid disease, and baseline thyroid function tests, including TPO antibodies. It is also important to ask female patients about contraception or pregnancy plans, as thyroid dysfunction and its treatment can lead to pregnancy-related complications. After starting alemtuzumab, patients should have routine clinical screening for symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, along with biochemical monitoring. Thyroid function tests (TSH and free T4) should be checked every 3 months during therapy, until up to 48 months after the last dose. Patients with TPO antibodies or prior thyroid history should be watched closely, because of an increased risk of AITD. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraceptive methods during and up to 4 months after alemtuzumab treatment.

Thyroid dysfunction is not an absolute contraindication to alemtuzumab therapy, as most associated AITDs are mild/self­resolve. It is important for the clinician to be aware of them and perform appropriate clinical and biochemical screening before, during, and after treatment.
Interferon-Related Thyroid Dysfunction
IFN-β therapy is also used in the treatment of MS, and AITD can be a side effect of therapy, occurring in up to 6.2% of patients. The mechanism of action is unknown but is proposed to be due to the result of autoantibodies or immune system dysregulation. Preexisting thyroid antibodies (TPO or TRAbs) are a risk factor, with 70% of the cases with IFN-β-associated AITD occurring in patients with MS with TPO antibodies. Hypothyroidism in general occurred more frequently than hyperthyroidism in treated patients (3.9% vs. 2.3%, respectively). Patients can present with a destructive
https://t.me/medicina_free
thyroiditis picture, with early transient hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism. Most thyroid dysfunction was subclinical and found on screening laboratory work. Spontaneous resolution occurred in almost 60% of patients regardless of IFN therapy.
45
Similar to alemtuzumab, thyroid dysfunction is not an absolute contraindication to therapy, as AITD is usually subclinical or mild and 60% self-resolve. There also does not appear to be a dose-dependent or time-dependent relationship with IFN-β. Nevertheless, it is important for the prescribing clinician to be aware and perform appropriate clinical and biochemical screening during therapy.

Biotin-Associated Thyroid Laboratory Abnormalities
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin (B7) that is being studied for use in high doses (300-600 mg/d) for the treatment of primary progressive MS. It has been known to interfere with laboratory thyroid assays that use biotin as a test reagent. In competitive binding immunoassays (used for free and total T4 and T3), biotin interference causes a falsely high result. In sandwich immunoassays (used for TSH), excessive biotin can give a falsely low result. This can lead to an inaccurate diagnosis of hyperthyroidism (more common) or hypothyroidism.
46-49
Studies have shown persistent biotin interference even after 16 hours after the last dose. 47 Therefore, it is recommended that patients stop biotin treatment for at least 2 days before having laboratory tests done. 46 In addition, any abnormal laboratory results should be correlated with clinical signs and symptoms. Of note, biotin has been found to also interfere with assays for parathyroid hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, testosterone, thyroglobulin, estradiol, and ferritin. This results in abnormal laboratory data because of assay interference, but the data do not correlate with clinical findings.

Conclusion
https://t.me/medicina_free
MS is a complex disorder with various treatment modalities. There are endocrine-related complications of both the disease itself as well as side effects from therapy. Patients with MS have a higher rate of osteopenia and osteoporosis, both as a function of the musculoskeletal changes in MS as well as prolonged steroid exposure. Vitamin D deficiency has been reported at higher rates. GC therapy is associated with a multitude of endocrine adverse effects, such as osteoporosis, iatrogenic Cushing syndrome, and secondary adrenal insufficiency. Hyperglycemia can result from T1D, T2D, GCs, or Acthar Gel. Patients are at risk for metabolic syndrome and associated cardiovascular disease. Autoimmune thyroid disorders occur at a higher rate in patients with MS even before taking into account treatment. Alemtuzumab immunotherapy can result in thyroid dysfunction, especially hyperthyroidism. Biotin can interfere with thyroid laboratory assays, resulting in false results. One should be aware of these endocrinopathies when caring for patients with MS.
