What is the cause of hypothyroidism in premature infants

summary

Hypothyroidism is due to hypothyroidism, and the emergence of a variety of diseases, such as primary hypothyroidism, secondary hypothyroidism or peripheral hypothyroidism and so on. Primary hypothyroidism is often caused by some thyroid diseases, which can lead to the reduction of thyroid hormone secretion. For example, some patients with congenital causes of thyroid deficiency can cause hypothyroidism disease, can also, because of some reasons and thyroid atrophy lead to hypothyroidism, or because of thyroiditis caused hypothyroidism. I'd like to talk about the reasons for this situation and hope to help you.

What is the cause of hypothyroidism in premature infants

Reason 1: some patients suffer from hypothyroidism due to the destruction of thyroid gland after receiving radioactive iodine treatment. We must pay attention to the fact that hypothyroidism caused by this kind of reason can be irreversible hypothyroidism. In addition, if the body thyroid hormone synthesis dysfunction may also lead to hypothyroidism.

The second reason: there are some congenital diseases, or enzyme defects related to thyroid hormone synthesis, which are also easy to cause hypothyroidism. In addition, iodine excess or iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism. Of course, family background can also be secondary, for example, in patients with serum thyroid stimulating hormone content significantly reduced can lead to hypothyroidism.

The third reason: human pituitary lesions, such as pituitary tumor disease can indirectly affect the thyroid, and then lead to hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can also be induced by hypothalamic syndrome or pituitary ischemic necrosis. If it is peripheral hypothyroidism, the incidence is relatively rare, this disease is often caused by heredity.
