Reading expansion: About iodine deficiency diseases

Cause: The main cause of iodine deficiency diseases is the environment Iodine deficiency is caused by insufficient intake of iodine by the body. This disease is widely distributed and is found in many provinces and regions in China. The disease is mainly seen in mountainous areas far away from the coast and at high altitudes. The soil, water and food in endemic areas contain very little iodine.

Clinical manifestations: There are no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stage of endemic goiter. The thyroid gland is mild to moderate diffuse enlargement, soft and non-tender. A very small number of patients with obvious swelling may develop compression symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and irritating cough. Retrosternal goiter may present with symptoms of esophageal or superior vena cava compression. Thyroid function is basically normal, but some patients develop hypothyroidism due to insufficient thyroid compensatory function, which affects intelligence, growth and development. A small number of patients with endemic goiter have long-term elevated serum TSH levels. When iodine is supplemented, thyroxine is synthesized excessively, resulting in iodine hyperthyroidism. Endemic cretinism can be divided into three types: neurological type, myxedema type and mixed type. Most are mixed types.

Treatment: Children with mild thyroid enlargement can take oral iodine/potassium iodide (compound iodine solution) or oral potassium iodide until the goiter subsides and urinary iodine becomes normal, or intramuscular injection of lipiodol can be used. For children with moderate thyroid enlargement, oral thyroid powder (tablets) can make the thyroid shrink or disappear; if the goiter is obvious or causes symptoms of compression or is suspected of being cancerous, surgery should be performed. When using iodine preparations, attention should be paid to excessive iodine supplementation, which can cause iodine hyperthyroidism. At the same time, we should also be wary of iodine allergy or iodine poisoning.

Prevention: The following methods are often used to prevent 1. Add sodium iodide or potassium iodide to table salt, with a concentration of 1:10,000 to 1:20,000. 2. Iodized drinking water: Add potassium iodide to drinking water. Add 1g of potassium iodide to 100,000 liters of water (that is, 10 g of potassium iodide per liter of water). 3. Lipiodol injection is suitable for areas with low incidence and no need for widespread iodization. 4. Eat more iodine-rich foods such as kelp, seaweed, seaweed, marine fish and shrimp, etc.
