| Popis: | Sub-Carpathian region in Poland is known as an Iodine deficient area. 5 groups of babies with thyroid gland disfunction were selected on HT screening: Congenital hypothyroidisn was detected in 15 cases (1:5011) the transient hypothyroidism in three (1:25551) and 88 patients were diagnosed as having IDD (Iodine Deficiency Disorders)including 42with transient hyperthyrotropinemia, 46 with goiter with or without concomittant hyperthyrotropinemia. The high incidence of IDD in this area seems to be connected wth the insufficient Iodine suplementation in the years 1981-87. The Iodine urine excretion confirmed the moderate environmental Iodine deficiency in the studied area. Conclusions: 1/ The prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism in Krakow district is 1:5011. 2/Krakow belongs to the class II Iodine deficient areas. 3/The incidence of the IDD in this area is 1:824. 4/The correction by Iodine salt suplementation seems urgent. |
