Abstract: Non-thyroid illness syndrome or sick euthyroid syndrome refers to alterations that occur in thyroid hormone levels in response to any critical illness like sepsis, ARDS, patients on mechanical ventilation, and also any ICU patients. The metabolic response to any critical illness involves every organ but the underlying pathology is not completely understood. Despite the primary diagnosis, as a stress-induced response in critical illness, a state of hypermetabolism prevails leading to increased energy expenditure, hyperglycemia, and muscle loss. Thyroid hormone alterations commonly occur in critical illness in patients with no previous known intrinsic thyroid disease. The changes in thyroid hormone levels is not an isolated phenomenon as it is also associated with changes in other endocrine axis as a response to stress.
