CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE - A CLINICAL CASE

Hypothyroidism (HT) is one of the common diseases in endocrinology, caused by a long-term, persistent deficiency of thyroid hormones or a deficiency of their effect on tissues. The deficiency of these hormones leads not only to a slowdown in the biochemical processes of growth and development of the child's body, disruption of metabolic processes, including lipid peroxidation and the blood clotting mechanism, but also to a delay in intellectual development and inhibition of the formation of personality structure and thinking. In this regard, early diagnosis, as well as timely and adequate therapy are very important.
