The provided UK guideline excerpts, "Thyroid disease: assessment and management," do not specifically detail the potential complications of thyroid storm that you should monitor for in your patients 1.

The guidelines focus on the assessment, management, and monitoring of various thyroid conditions, including subclinical hypothyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, and hyperthyroidism, as well as the monitoring of treatments such as radioactive iodine and antithyroid drugs 1. For instance, they outline monitoring for side effects of antithyroid drugs, such as full blood count and liver function tests, if there is a clinical suspicion of agranulocytosis or liver dysfunction 1. However, specific complications directly attributed to a "thyroid storm" are not described within these excerpts 1.
