Hashimoto Thyroiditis

Hashimoto Thyroiditis

Thyroid hormones are found in almost every cell of the body, and their main task is to control the speed at which the cell works. Normal functioning, growth and proliferation of the cell are controlled by thyroid hormones. Accordingly, body temperature and the rate of metabolism are regulated by thyroid hormones. Adjustment of diastolic blood pressure, adjustment of the amount of edema, adjustment of the amount of edema, adjustment of heart rate, increase of heart rate, increase of thought speed, speed of bowel movements, thirst, urination, increase of benign cholesterol, exercise of our immune system against cancer and infections, Other tasks of the cloth.

Thyroid gland is an indispensable gland due to all these important tasks. The TSH hormone that controls the thyroid gland is secreted from the pituitary gland. This is controlled by the TRH secreted by the hypothalamus. TRH also controls the secretion of the prolactin hormone with the thyroid. For this reason, TSH and TRH hormone levels are increased in cases of hypothyroidism in which the thyroid gland works poorly. This leads to an increase in prolactin levels. Excess prolactin makes the body sensitive to pain.

In situations such as febrile illnesses, severe illnesses, malnutrition, stress, the body has to save energy and does this by reducing the level of thyroid hormone. Decreased thyroid hormones cause the body's functions, ie, metabolism, to slow down as long as the event continues.

It is the T3 hormone that enters the cells from the thyroid hormones. This is made of T4 hormone.

Some diseases stop or reduce the turn of the thyroid hormone, T4, to T3, which causes the function of the body to decrease.

T3 and T4 hormones in the treatment of hypothyroidism, and Propicil etc. in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, which reduce the production of thyroid hormones. Drugs are used.

Sometimes the body's immune system perceives thyroid tissue as foreign matter and attacks it. It takes place of thyroid tissue, and it ends. In such cases the Anti-TPO test is very high. This is called hashimato thyroiditis. The thyroid gland gradually disappears.

Hashimatotiriodiosis has no commonly used treatment.

The disease is caused by the fact that the immunocomplex molecules accumulated in the thyroid gland show the thyroid gland as foreign matter. When this immune complex accumulates at a certain level, the cells of the immune system perceive thyroid gland tissue as a foreign matter and attack it by attacking it. As a result, hypotyroid symptoms occur as the volume of the gauze decreases. If there is no treatment, the thyroid gland will not remain after a while

An ideal treatment;

* The immune complexes accumulated in the thyroid gland should be destroyed,

* New immune complex formation should be stopped,

As a result, the thyroid should remove the bruise from the middle.
