Abstract:

One of the most prevalent endocrine illnesses, particularly among females, is hyperthyroidism. In this case study, a 30-year-old female patient complained of pale stool, black urine, and yellowed sclera. She had previously experienced controlled thyrotoxicosis treated with methimazole a month prior. She began taking methimazole 20 mg a day, and after a month of medication, she had an acute cholestatic liver insult that had no other known cause. On withdrawal, symptoms and laboratory results lessened but did not return to normal. Beta blockers were first used to treat her disease, and then Prednisolone.
