The causes of cat hyperthyroidism may include: 1  A high amount of benign cells in the thyroid gland, which is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in cats. 2  These cells may cluster in small nodules on the thyroid gland; these nodules are known as adenomas.
Hyperthyroidism is relatively common in older cats. It is caused by a tumour, which in most cases is benign (non-cancerous). It can cause a lot of problems, including heart problems, so it is essential to treat it if present. There are a number of possible treatments, all with pros and cons. Once the hyperthyroidism is under control, CKD may be revealed (or, if already present, may appear to worsen) as true kidney function is revealed.
