Thyroid dysfunction represents the overproduction or underproduction of the thyroid gland, found in the neck area. Thyroid hormones play a very significant role in the maintenance of appropriate metabolism and energy, in other things related to the proper metabolism of bodies. Thyroid dysfunction comes in two forms: hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

 

Hypothyroidism, in turn, sets in when the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient hormones, that is to say, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and sensitivity to cold. Hyperthyroidism is just the opposite, it means the excessive production of hormones, which causes a person to lose weight, feel anxious, and irritable, and experience an increased heartbeat.

 

Thyroid dysfunction can result from factors such as autoimmune diseases, like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, lack of iodine, and congenital causes. Diagnoses are typically made based on an evaluation of the results of blood tests for serum concentrations of thyroid hormones such as T3, T4. and TSH.
