one of the most preventable causes of mental and growth retardation is congenital hypothyroidism (ch). this study tries to investigate growth and mental outcome of patients with ch. since november 2006 and november 2007 in guilan province, north of iran, all neonates who were diagnosed with ch, evaluated for etiology of ch by laboratory follow up, thyroid sonography or scan. growth and developm...

conclusions high tc, tg and vldl were observed in our patients with sch. objectives the aim of this study was to assess differences in lipid profile parameters between subjects with and without sch in a north indian population. patients and methods serum lipid parameters of 70 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and 100 age and sex matched euthyroid controls were evaluated in a cross-secti...

BACKGROUND Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common preventable causes of mental retardation. One important challenge in understanding the epidemiology of CH is that some newborns will have transient CH, a temporary depression of thyroid hormone concentrations that can last from several days to several months. Studies from other countries have reported that 10 to 15% of children...

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine diseases. More than 99% all cases hypothyroidism in adults are due to primary hypothyroidism. Most often, develops because chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, as well after medical manipulations (iatrogenic hypothyroidism) — postoperative or a result therapy with radioactive iodine. The article presents draft clinical guidelines for diagnosis and t...

Aim: There is a need to evaluate the treatment response in patients who have undergone radioiodine (RIT) for differentiated thyroid cancer. Diagnostic tests that are used this purpose include whole-body scan (WBS) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement, which most accurate during thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. However, temporary discontinuation of therapy increase TSH (withdra...

In babies with congenital hypothyroidism, goiter and respiratory distress (due to upper airway compression/hypothyroidism) are rarely encountered as the first presenting signs. Computerized Tomography of neck revealed enlargement all thyroid gland lobes further laboratory hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy was initiated early, which resulted in a significant reduction regressio...

Primary hypothyroidism is a graded phenomenon with a wide spectrum of severity between subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism. Patients with biochemically severe hypothyroidism may present with only mild clinical manifestations, whereas some patients with moderate changes in thyroid hormones may present with severe signs of tissue hypothyroidism. The measurement of pituitary thyroi...

TWO TRABS: TSBAb and TSAb. TSBAb causes hypothyroidism. TSAb causes Graves' hyperthyroidism. TSBAb and TSAb block TSH-binding to cells as TRAb, measured as TSH-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII). We reevaluate TSBAb and TSAb. We studied TSBAb, TSAb, and TBII over 10 years in 34 TSBAb-positives with hypothyroidism and in 98 TSAb-positives with hyperthyroidism. Half of the 34 TSBAb-positive...
