Can hypothyroidism patients eat iodized salt

summary

Does hypothyroidism want to eat iodized salt? Let's all think about the serious consequences of hypothyroidism, which is a direct disease, and arouse people's comprehensive thinking about it. Only in this way can we continue to do it and persist in it. There will be strong motivation to support us, and we can use it as a basis.

Can hypothyroidism patients eat iodized salt

1. Hypothyroidism patients all know that iodine is an important raw material for thyroid synthesis, and seafood is rich in iodine, so it is very suitable for hypothyroidism patients. But what should we pay attention to when eating seafood? Is it that the more we eat, the better, or all patients can eat more seafood without exception?

2. Iodine is an important raw material for thyroid hormone synthesis, and seafood is rich in iodine. When hypothyroidism occurs, the intake of seafood still needs to be differentiated. For hypothyroidism caused by thyroid nodules and other operations, we can eat more seafood and supplement more raw materials necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones; for hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, in principle, we don't need taboo seafood and can eat it, but we don't recommend excessive intake, because excessive iodine intake will increase thyroid autoantibodies (TPOAb, TGAb), thus aggravating thyroiditis; For hypothyroidism caused by radioisotope therapy, as long as thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb) is still positive, iodine should be strictly avoided

3. In addition to the thyroid follicles destroyed by isotopes, the rest of the thyroid follicles are still absorbing iodine, which may lead to the recurrence of hyperthyroidism. Even if the overproduced thyroid hormone does not reach the normal level, it will also affect the replacement amount of thyroid hormone, resulting in the continuous change of replacement amount, which is not conducive to the stable drug replacement of hypothyroid patients.
