Structure and location of thyroid
gland
Influence of thyroid
hormones on an
organism:
Nervous system and psychic
Cardiovascular system
Digestive system
Reproductive system
Skin and intertguments
Musculosceletal apparatus
Endemic goitre
This is a disease manifested
with thyroid gland enlargement.
It develops in certain
biogeochemical regions
characterized by iodine
deficiency in the environment
Ethiology
• Iodine deficiency is the main obvious factor
• Additional factors:
• deficiency of microelements cobalt, copper, fluorine,
zinc, molybdenum (participate in iodine metabolism);
Influence of strumogens – substances which decelerate
biosynthesis of thyroid hormones
Hypersecretion of thyrotrophic hormone (TTH) by
hypophysis
• Diseases of digestive tract, a liver with disordered iodine
absorption.
Palpation may be
performed, if a doctor
stands behind or
before the patient,
his arms are put at
the zone of projection
of the gland
Classification of thyroid gland
enlargement (WHPO, 2001)
Degree of enlargement – 0
Goitre is absent (sizes of both lobules
don’t exceed medial phalange of human’s
thumb
Degree of enlargement - І
Thyroid gland is palpable but is not
visible in normal position of patient’s
neck: nodal formations which don’t cause
thyroid gland enlargement
Degree of enlargement - ІІ
Thyroid gland is visible in any position of
the patient
Nodal goitre
Treatment
• 1. Thyroid hormones – L-thyroxin - 50-100
мcg/d;
2. Iodinum preparations – 100-200 мcg/d
• Prophylaxis of iodine defficiensy
• Iodinum-containing products (salt, bred, milk);
2. Iodinum preparations:
iodide potassium, lipiodol
100-200 мcg/d.
Diffuse toxic goitre (DTG)
Ethiology and provoking factors
stress;
Infectious diseases;

heredity
Clinical pattern
Complaints
• Nervous system –tearfulness, depression, deranged
sleep, irritability, oversweating
Cardiovascular system – Permanent palpitation, periodical
intermissions, dyspnea
• Metabolism – poor tolerance to heat, low body weight
while appetite is increased, muscular weakness

Anamnesis
Provoking factors
Clinical pattern
Signs of thyrotoxicosis and diffuse enlargement of thyroid
gland
Laboratory tests
1) Common and free Т3 і Т4 are increased;
2) Increased level of common Т3 and normal Т4 (Т3 –
thyrotoxicosis)
3) Decreased level of thyrotrophic hormone (TTH)
4) Increased consumption of radioactive iodinum J131 with
thyroid gland
5) High level of antibodies to TTH receptors
Instrumental diagnostics
1) Ultrasound examination of thyroid gland
(enlargement and diffuse
decreased density);
2) Scintigraphy (insuspiction on retrosternal
goitre and in nodal goitre)
3) Puncture biopsy of thyroid gland is
executed for diagnostics of all nodal
formations in the gland

Treatment
Ethiological
treatment of the cause
Pathogenetic
thyroid hormones
1) poor Т4 (levothyroxin, L-thyroxin, euthirox)
– for prolonged замісної treatment;
2) poor Т3 (thriiodtironin) – is used for
diagnostics;
3) Combined preparations (tireocomb,
tireotom, novotirol) – is difficult to choose
proper dosage.
Treatment
1.
Corticosteroids – for prevention of adrenal insufficiency
(hydrocortison 100-150 mg or prednisolon 30-50 mg i/v.
2.
200 мcг of thyroxin, glucous 40% - 60 ml, ISS 500 мл, 5%
ascorbic acid 5 0 i/v.
3.
Oxygen. Artificial lung ventilation.
4.
In edema and high BP – diuretics (lasix 2 ml i/m), in hypotesion
- mesaton 1% - 0,5-1,0 ml i/v, corglivon 0,06% - 1,0.
5.
Antibiotics.
