Abstract

Thyroid impairment is one of the most common endocrine dysfunctions,
around 200 million people in the world are diagnosed with one of the forms of
thyroid dysfunction, and women are most often affected. In addition to cases with
a definite diagnosis, there are also subclinical, undiagnosed forms that are
estimated to affect approximately four times the population, for example in the
case of hypothyroidism. Romania is no exception, cases of thyroid dysfunction are
frequent in the general population, also the female effect being more important.
Knowledge of the dynamics of the evolution of the specialized casuistry allows the
establishment of the prophylactic and therapeutic measures necessary for the best
possible management of the disease.
