Myxedema coma, a rare life-threatening complication of hypothyroidism, is a loss of brain function. This extreme manifestation of hypothyroidism is an infrequent but potentially fatal condition. Women are four times more prone to suffer from hypothyroidism compared to men and correspondingly 80 percent incidences of myxedema coma occur in females. If seasonality is to be considered above 90% cases happen in winters.
This seasonal prevalence could be apparently because of inability to sense temperature and lower body heat production in the elderly, secondary to hypothyroidism. Major symptoms of myxedema coma include abnormal low body temperature (sometimes as low as 80 degrees F), severe mental conditions (like hallucinations, seizers, disorientation), edema with swollen eyes, hair loss, difficulty in breathing among many more.
The best of treating myxedema coma is preventing it in the first place. The factors which could trigger myxedema coma are certain types of drugs, heart stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, trauma, infections, and not taking prescribed thyroid medications.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has taken all the focus of researchers and industry players which has resulted in pushing back of already less researched niche domains like myxedema coma. Additionally, the financial demands of rare diseases like myxedema coma are unmet due to persion of funds towards more pressing needs experienced due to COVID-19.
In case of myxedema coma, the family physicians are in an important position to prevent the condition by maintaining a high level of suspicion for hypothyroidism during the regular follow up visits. Hence growing awareness among people to pay regular visit to doctors will be a key driver for the growth of myxedema coma market.
Another reason which could drive the global myxedema coma treatment market is high mortality rate in the patients which is reported up to 60%. The pharmaceutical moguls would like to bring down this rate substantially.
The developed countries are witnessing change in demographics, their population is ageing. Myxedema coma being a disorder affecting the elderly hence will drive the global market for myxedema coma. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are often subtle and go unnoticeable which will consequently result in hindering the market for myxedema coma.
