The thyroid gland, positioned in the anterolateral region of the neck, serves as a pivotal component of the endocrine system, synthesizing two critical hormones—thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)—which govern cellular metabolic processes and thereby influence physical growth, cognitive development, and overall energy homeostasis within the organism. Its functional regulation is tightly controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, wherein thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland, subsequently triggering thyroid hormone production. Any disruption within this intricate feedback mechanism—whether primary damage to thyroid parenchyma or secondary dysfunction at the central level—may result in either a hormonal deficiency state, termed hypothyroidism, or conversely, an excessive activation known as hyperthyroidism.

Schilddrüsenmangel bei Kindern

Eine Schilddrüsenmangel ist eine Reihe von Krankheitssymptomen, die sich aus einem absoluten oder relativen Mangel an Thrombohormonen im Körper oder einem Mangel ihres Rezeptors ergeben, der die Wirkung des Hormons in den Geweben ermöglicht.

Symptome und Folgen von Schilddrüsenmangel

Die Symptome der Krankheit variieren je nach Alter des Kindes. Bei Neugeborenen gibt es im ersten Monat nach der Geburt schlechte Verlangsamung, Schwellungen, Temperaturverringerung, hohe Dunkelheit, breite Schädelzellen und verlängerte physiologische Gelblichkeit. Nach dem ersten Lebensmonat kommen zusätzliche Symptone in Form von niedrigem Schläfrigkeit und Entzündung und damit geringem Anstieg des Körpergewichts auf.

Die Behandlung von Schilddrüsenmangel

Die Behandlung von Schilddrüsenmangel basiert daher auf der Pharmakotherapie und auf der Ernährung des Patienten. Bei Schilddrußmangel wird die ausgewogene Ernährung auch bei Patienten als unerlässlich angesehen. Die Ernährung sollte erst eingeführt werden, wenn die Bluthormonkonzentration mit Medikamenten zu den gewünschten Werten stabilisiert wurde. Bei der Anpassung einer angemessenen Ernährung sollten auch die zusammenhängenden Krankheiten berücksichtigt werden (bei Kindern ist es meistens Typ II-Diabetes) und die Ernährungssituation des Patienten berücksichtigt wird. Bei einer Schilddrahtmangel werden bei Patienten auch die durchschnittlich niedrigeren Wirkungen der innerstaatlichen Verwandlung von Meeresfleisch als bei gesunden Kindern festgestellt.
