DIAGNOSIS DINI DAN TATALAKSANA HIPOTIROID

Abstract

Hypothyroidism is a state of thyroid hormone deficiency ranging from mild to moderate symptoms. Hypothyroidism can be caused by congenital abnormalities, ablation, radiation, surgery and most often autoimmune. Hypothyroidism is more common in women than in men. Thyroid hormone is very important for fetal growth and currently the TSH test is a screening for early detection of hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone deficiency will cause fetal defects and even fetal death. In adults, thyroid hormone deficiency causes hyperlipidemia and increased cardiovascular risk. Several guidelines provide recommendations for thyroid hormone administration based on clinical symptoms, pregnancy, age, risk and TSH levels.
