Dyshormogenetic goitre - what does this mean
Dyshormogenetic goitre is a type of goitre caused by an inherited defect in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, leading to an enlarged thyroid gland. this can be caused by deficiencies in components of the thyroid hormone synthesis pathway, such as iodine, tyrosine, or the enzymes needed to convert tyrosine into thyroid hormones.
What happens during the disease - dyshormogenetic goitre
Dyshormogenetic goitre is caused by an imbalance in the production of thyroid hormones due to a defect in the thyroid gland. this defect may be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, including iodine deficiency, certain medications, and genetic mutations. the resulting imbalance of hormones leads to an enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as goitre. symptoms of dyshormogenetic goitre vary depending on the underlying cause, but can include fatigue, weight gain, depression, and goitre. treatment of dyshormogenetic goitre typically involves correcting the imbalance of hormones, either through medication or surgery.
Dyshormogenetic goitre - Prevention
Dyshormogenetic goitre can be prevented by avoiding excessive iodine intake, regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels, and avoiding the intake of certain medications that can interfere with thyroid hormone levels.
