Iodine deficiency causes high goiter rates, often linked to hyperthyroidism. This review guides the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases, including special considerations for elderly patients and pregnant women.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • High goiter prevalence (25%-54%) in iodine-deficient regions.
  • Non-toxic goiter is common, frequently associated with hyperthyroidism.
  • Other thyroid conditions like cancer and hypothyroidism are less prevalent but noted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a guideline for diagnosing and treating thyroid diseases.
  • To discuss differential diagnosis of thyroid disorders.
  • To address specific challenges in elderly patients and pregnant women.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation (physical examination).
  • In-vitro diagnostic tests.
  • High-performance imaging modalities.

Main Results:

  • Non-toxic goiter is the most frequent thyroid disease in endemic areas.
  • Autonomous thyroid tissue can lead to hyperthyroidism.
  • Graves' disease is observed more frequently than other conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical assessment is a cost-effective initial diagnostic tool.
  • A combination of diagnostic tools aids differential diagnosis.
  • Therapeutic options include medication, radioiodine, and surgery, tailored to diagnosis.
