Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (endocrinology)

Subacute thyroiditis of de Cervan

Subacute thyroiditis of de Kerven, or granulomatous thyroiditis, is one of the most common forms of the disease. There is an increase in the incidence of diseases in the autumn-winter period. Women are 4 times more likely than men, the age of patients may be different, but the greatest number of cases falls on 30-40 years.

Nuechnoye acute thyroiditis

The non-venous acute thyroiditis proceeds according to the type of aseptic inflammation due to trauma and hemorrhage to the gland or after radiation therapy.

Acute purulent thyroiditis

Acute purulent thyroiditis is caused by cocco flora, it is rare. The use of antibiotics to treat coccal infections has made this form of thyroiditis very rare.

Thyroiditis

The term "thyroiditis" combines diseases of the thyroid gland, differing in etiology, pathogenesis, an obligatory component of which is inflammation. With different pathogenesis, the diseases have a clinically similar symptomatology, which makes it difficult in some cases to make differential diagnosis.

Causes and pathogenesis of hypothyroidism

In the overwhelming majority of cases (90-95%), the disease is caused by a pathological process in the thyroid itself, which reduces the level of production of hormones (primary hypothyroidism). Violation of the regulatory and stimulating effect of pituitary thyrotropin or hypothalamic releasing factor (thyreoliberin) leads to secondary hypothyroidism, which is significantly inferior to primary hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism: An Overview of Information

Insufficient level of thyroid hormones in organs and tissues leads to the development of hypothyroidism - a disease first described by V. Gull in 1873. The term "myxedema", owned by VM Ordu (1878), means mucous edema of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Treatment of diffuse toxic goiter

Currently, there are three main methods for treating diffuse toxic goiter: drug therapy, surgical intervention - subtotal resection of the thyroid, and treatment with radioactive iodine. All available methods of therapy for diffuse toxic goiter result in a decrease in the elevated level of circulating thyroid hormones to normal numbers.

Symptoms of diffuse toxic goiter

The pathogenesis of clinical symptoms is due to the influence of excess thyroid hormones on various organs and systems of the body. The complexity and multiplicity of factors involved in the development of thyroid pathology determine the variety of clinical manifestations of the disease.

Causes of diffuse toxic goiter

Currently, diffuse toxic goiter (DTZ) is considered as an organ-specific autoimmune disease. Its hereditary nature is confirmed by the fact that family cases of goiter are observed, thyroid antibodies are detected in the blood of relatives of patients, there is a high incidence of other autoimmune diseases among family members

Diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease): overview of information

Diffuse toxic goiter (Graves 'disease, goiter, Graves' disease) is the most common thyroid disease that occurs due to increased production of thyroid hormones.
