Abstract

Between 1963 and 1990, Austria had iodized salt prophylaxis of endemic goitre with 10 mg KI (7.5 mg I) per kg. This was obviously insufficient, as urinary iodine excretion ranged from 42 to 78 microg I per g of creatinine and goitre in adults remained in the endemic range of 15%-30%. Therefore salt iodization was doubled in 1990. The aim of this study was to assess the annual incidence of different types of hyperthyroidism (HT) before and after this increase in salt iodization. The incidence of HT was recorded in 14 nuclear medicine centres from 1987 to 1995. In five additional centres data were available from 1992 onwards. Data prior to 1992 were documented retrospectively, while those after 1992 were recorded prospectively. The 14 centres drew patients from an area with a population of approximately 4.23 million while all 19 institutes were estimated to cover an area with a population of 5.4 million (the total population of Austria is 7.86 million). A total of 414232 persons were examined for the first time in the participating centres. HT and the type of HT were defined by clinical examination, serum TSH, thyroid hormone levels in blood, ultrasonography, scintigraphy and serum autoantibody titres. HT was classified into immu...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
