·         What is thyroid gland?

·         Where is it present in our body?

According to medical dictionary 13^th edition by Churchill is

“Thyroid is a ductless gland found on the both sides of the trachea. It secretes

Thyroxine (mainly) which controls the rate of metabolism.”

Thyroid function is controlled by Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (T.S.H.) which is synthesized by anterior pituitary gland. T.S.H. secretions by pituitary gland is stimulated by hypothalamic thyroid releasing hormone (TRH). Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone (a chemical substance secreted by endocrine gland to regulate the function of tissues and organs elsewhere in the body). Predominately thyroid gland secretes T4 and only less amount of T3 (triiodothyronine).99.9% of T4 is converted to T3 as per requirement of the body tissues to perform the metabolic function.

                               

The amount of hormones can be detected by test to know the disease before it become lethal. The measurement of thyroid hormone is done by test known as Thyroid Function Test (TFT). It is assessed by the measurement of

11. Serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (T.S.H.) concentration.

22.   Serum free T4 or T3 concentration.

Thyroid diseases can be managed by

·         Thyroid hormones: used in hypothyroidism, non-toxic goiter, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and thyroid carcinoma.

·         Anti thyroid drugs: used in hyperthyroidism either prepare patient for thyroidectomy or for long term treatment.

·         Thyroidectomy: is surgical removal of all or part of thyroid gland used in thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism or goiter.

·         Food: when a person being diagnosed of hypothyroidism certain food can decrease the increase levels of serum T.S.H like cabbage, mayonnaise, iodized salt, fish corn, ginger, lemon, vitamin D and vitamin B.
