  • Obremenitev z jodom in ščitnica = Iodine excess and thyroid
    Zaletel, Katja ; Gaberšček, Simona ; Hojker, Sergej
    Background. In endemic goitre areas (Slovenia is one of them) with higher frequency of thyroid autonomy the patients have a predisposition to become hyperthyrotic after iodine excess. It seems that ... the incidence of the disease among our patients increases. The main cause of iodine excess in medicine is amiodarone. It is an affective antiarrhythmic drug with high proportion of iodine, which accumulates mainly in fat tissue. From there it is slowly released and deiodinated and for this reason the iodide content in organism a few months after stopping amiodarone is still high. Less important cause of iodine excess are water-soluble contrast media because of little content of free iodide and fast elimination from the body. Conclusion. The purpose of thearticle is to point out the importance of risk assessment for occurrence ofhyperthyroidism in patients who are to be treated with iodine containing drugs. We recommended the patient to come for a check-up in outpatient department for thyroid diseases before starting the treatment and during the treatment with amiodarone. In thyroid autonomy the treatment with radioactive iodine is necessary before treatment with amiodarone.
