A goitre, or goiter, is a swelling in the neck resulting from an enlarged thyroid gland. A goitre can be associated with a thyroid that is not functioning properly.. Worldwide, over 90% of goitre cases are caused by iodine deficiency. The term is from the Latin gutturia, meaning throat. Most goitres are of a benign nature.. Signs and symptoms. A goitre can present as a palpable or visible. Ramírez, E. Estrelia, and J.B. Stanbury, "The Role of Iodine in Intellectual Development in an Area of Endemic Goiter," in J.T. Dunn and G.A.

W ashington DC, USA: The important role of iodine deficiency as an etiologic factor in endemic goiter is firmly established. Multinodular goiter is very common in cases having euthyroid goiter but other conditions such as diffuse goiter, thyroiditis and neoplasm can also be present in euthyroid state Present study showed severe urinary iodine deficiency in 82% and moderate iodine deficiency in 17% women of the endemic goiter area.

ABSTRACT. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently increased their recommended iodine intake during pregnancy from to μg/d and suggested that a median urinary iodine (UI) concentration of – μg/L indicates adequate iodine intake in pregnant ropin concentrations in blood collected from newborns 3–4 d after birth may be a . Iodine deficiency exists in most of the world, including the Americas. Until about , virtually every country in the hemisphere except Canada, Chile, the United States and some small Caribbean islands harbored at least some iodine deficiency (1,2).The past two decades have seen great global progress towards iodine sufficiency, principally through the widespread consumption of iodized salt.
