What's the problem with hyperthyroidism?

summary

Hyperthyroidism patients are in a state of high metabolism. The harm of this disease to patients is very great. We must supplement enough nutrition every day to ensure the energy balance in the body. Therefore, hyperthyroidism diet must have the characteristics of high protein, high sugar and high vitamin to meet the needs of high metabolism. Hyperthyroidism patients should have 12 540-20 900 kilojoules of total heat per day, and enough drinking water per day, because hyperthyroidism patients often have a lot of sweating, diarrhea, breathing too fast, which will cause excessive water loss in the body. Many people are not cured for a long time, it's not because they can't be cured, but because they don't understand it. Let's introduce the problem of hyperthyroidism?.

What's the problem with hyperthyroidism?

First: genetic factors: familial Graves' disease is not uncommon in clinic. 30% - 60% of identical twins have suffered from Graves' disease, and only 3% - 9% of heterozygotes have suffered from Graves' disease. In addition to hyperthyroidism, other thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism can also be found in family history investigation, or TSI is positive in family relatives, which indicates that Graves' disease has familial genetic tendency. It may be autosomal recessive inheritance, autosomal dominant inheritance or polygenic inheritance, which is one of the pathogenic factors of hyperthyroidism.

Second: immune factor: it is a kind of immunoglobulin (IgG) produced by B lymphocytes. It is an autoantibody against thyroid. It can combine with subcellular components of thyroid, excite thyroid follicular epithelium to secrete thyroid hormone and cause hyperthyroidism.

Third: hyperthyroid nodular goiter or adenoma: in the past, it was considered that the cause of hyperthyroidism was not autoimmune disease, because IgG, TSI, IATs and other immune evidence were not detected in the blood. In China, the positive rate of serum thyroglobulin antibody and microsomal antibody was 16.9% (62 / 383) in single nodules and 54.7% (104 / 190) in multiple nodules.

matters needing attention

Hyperthyroidism is a kind of hypermetabolism disease. The acceleration of metabolism in the body leads to a great increase in appetite. In this process, it may also lead to the loss of calcium, phosphorus and trace elements in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the supply of nutrition and increase the intake of protein, heat and vitamins. Supplement more than half of carbohydrates to meet the metabolic rate of thyroid secretion; Supplement enough plant protein and limit animal protein; Multivitamin supplement, especially the intake of vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin C; Avoid high iodine food.
