Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders (endocrinology)

Autoimmune thyroiditis in a child

This disease can not occur through the fault of the patient himself. After multiple studies, it was found that the main cause of autoimmune thyroiditis in a child is the presence of hereditary predisposition.

Hypothyroid coma

One of the most dangerous complications of hypothyroidism is the hypothyroid coma. Most often it appears in patients suffering from hypothyroidism, in elderly and senile age, while in most cases it affects women.

Hepatocerebral dystrophy

Violation of the water-electrolyte balance

Violation of the water-electrolyte balance in the body happens in the following situations: when hyperhydration - excessive accumulation of water in the body and its slow release.

Hyperplasia of the adrenal glands

Hyperplasia of the adrenal glands refers to serious pathologies, which is explained by the functional characteristics of the paired gland - the production of special hormones (glucocorticoids, androgens, aldosterone, adrenaline and norepinephrine) regulating the vital activity of the whole organism.

Endemic goiter

Endemic goiter is characterized by an increase in the thyroid gland, which causes the neck to deform.

Diffusive Thyroid Changes

Diffusive changes in the thyroid gland are changes in the tissues of the entire thyroid gland, which is revealed in the course of ultrasound (ultrasound). With certain transformations in iron with the help of ultrasonic diagnostics, a change in the ability of the thyroid tissue to reflect sound is noted (called echogenicity).

Nodal Toxic Goiter

The painful state of the thyroid gland, which is accompanied by the formation of single or several nodular formations, is called nodal toxic goiter.

Alimentary dystrophy

Alimentary dystrophy is a kind of dystrophy (Greek dystrophe - an eating disorder of tissues, organs or the body as a whole).

Diabetes mellitus type 2

The disease associated with the disorder of metabolic processes inside the body and manifested by an increase in glucose in the blood, is called insulin-independent diabetes, or type 2 diabetes. This pathology develops in response to a disorder of the interaction of tissue cells with insulin.
