Thyroid disorders of early symptoms and how to recognize them
Disorders should be differentiated thyroid function and structure, which can often go together but are not necessarily associated. Changes in thyroid morphology can be enlarge (goiter), which affects the whole gland. Then it uses the name of diffuse goiter. If it is increased only a portion, usually in the form of nodes, called a thyroid nodule. Nodes, nodes can be more when it comes to goiter. Chance of a combination of nodular and diffuse goiter. In any case, the increase of the thyroid gland or goiter does not mean at the same time and dysfunction. Thyroid disorders
Disorders of thyroid morphology and / or function are often outside the area affected by iodine deficiency (endemic areas). It is believed that in non-endemic areas is one of 20 people, mostly women, have a thyroid disorder. Therefore, the most common endocrine disorders of thyroid disease. Widespread jodinacijom salt or bread, which we implemented in about 50 years (as in the developed world) are eradicated areas of endemic goiter and cretinism as a consequence of the worst type of thyroid hormone deficiency during development of the central nervous system of children. Thyroid disorders
"Autoimmune diseases" thyroid gland are more common today. These disorders are caused by the appearance of immunoglobulins, antibodies, or immune system cells, lymphocytes, and others that damage the thyroid gland, the function and structure. Graves' (Basedow) disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis are examples of these types of diseases and they are given more detail in the appropriate section. These diseases occur with an incidence of approximately one patient per 100 inhabitants. Other less common disorders of the thyroid cancer, inflammatory conditions and neautoimunska congenital, congenital disorders of function and structure of the thyroid gland.
At this point only gives the basic characteristics of the most common thyroid disease in more detail in separate chapters.
