title: Thyroid storm induced by aspirin intoxication and the effect of hemodialysis: a case report.
abstract: Thyroid dysfunction is one of the serious consequences of an overdose of acetaminophen, aspirin, or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. The management of such consequences remains a medical challenge. A variety of thyroid abnormalities are common in clinical practice and can, in many cases, be accurately diagnosed and managed by the primary care physician. This case study covers an aspirin overdose causing thyroid storm that was treated successfully with hemodialysis.
