What is cretinism?

cretinism is hypothyroidism in neonates.lack of thyroxin due to abscence of thyroid gland in neonates causes cretinism.

cretinism is caused by a lack of thyroid hormone.

cretinism cretinism

Low levels of thyroid hormone are responsible for cretinism

Myxedema is adult hypothyroidism whereas cretinism is neonatal hypothyroidism.

Cretinism is severely stunted mental and physical growth brought on by an untreated congenital thyroid hormone deficiency.

No. Too little thyroid hormone produces cretinism in children.

Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism). The term cretin refers to a person so affected1. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretinism

Yes, cretinism is the condition caused by congenital lack of thyroid secretion. Neonatal thyroid testing is an important preventive strategy. Cretinism can be prevented by thyroid supplementation in patients with congenital hypothyroidism.

Cretinism is a type of dwarfism in which the individual retains childlike proportions and is mentally retarded. The hormone that causes this is Thyroxine - AKA- T4.

Hypothyroidism in infancy or childhood is responsible for the condition known as cretinism. The gland responsible is the thyroid or the pituitary that controls the thyroid.

Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical growth and mental development due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) or from prolonged nutritional deficiency of iodine.

When they ask their first question.

Thyroid hormone.

Thyroid hormones

Cretinism is a condition of hypothyroidism during fetal life, infancy, and childhood. Characteristics include both severe stunted body growth and mental retardation. It is caused by a deficiency of Iodine, lack of a thyroid gland, or inability of the thyroid gland to produce enough hormones that are crucial to the development of a child. Cretinism can be prevented in one way by adding iodine into the persons diet.

Cretinism is untreated congenital hypothyroidism. There are a couple of conditions that can lead to congenital hypothyroidism, including abnormal enzymes that make thyroid hormones, hypopituitarism. If it is due to a maternal deficiency in iodine intake it is called cretinism.

Cretinism

Cretinism is the condition that results from insufficient iodine in children.

A cretin is a person who suffered from cretinism. They are very short short in height and mentally retarded.

Iodine in the diet helps prevent goiter and cretinism, both caused by a lack of iodone.

Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth. This happen when untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones.

diabetes cushings syndrome addisons disease acromegaly myxedema cretinism goiter

- to avoid goiter and other thyroid diseases - to avoid mental diseases (cretinism)

myxedema Myxedema for adult. Cretinism for infants.

Iodine (as potassium iodide or potassium iodate) is obligatory added to table salt to prevent cretinism.

Cretinism is usually caused by failure of the thyroid gland, which is associated with Hasimoto's disease, or an deficiency of enzymes to deal with iodine.

Iodine compounds are added to table salt: potassium iodide and potassium iodate. An insufficient daily intake of iodine lead to cretinism.

Hmm I'm not sure but the disorders are Gigantism, Dwarfism, Acromegaly, Goiter, Grave's Disease, Cretinism etc.

Iodized salt contain iodide/iodate of potassium; a deficiency in iodine intake lead to cretinism and other illness.

They are not. They are called cretins. Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical growth and mental development due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones.

Undersecretion of TH during fetal development or infancy cause cretinism, a condition characterized by dwarfism and delayed mental and sexual development.

Arrested physical and mental development resulting from a congenital lack of thyroid secretion is known as Cretinism.

Iodine (as potassium iodate or iodide) is added to salt because a diet without iodine lead to cretinism and other illness.

Less secretion of thyroxine gland can cause dwarfism and mental retardation in the children and this condition is known as Cretinism and in adults if it is not working properly then a person becomes sluggish

Hypothyroidism is underactive thyroid. increase - hyperthyroidism decrease - hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism for adults and cretinism for very young children Hypothyroidism is the name for an underactive thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid condition. Hypothyroidism

Salt in the shaker generally is not pure NaCl: table salt contain iodine (as iodide/iodate of potassium/sodium) - it is a recommendation of OMS (a diet without iodine lead to cretinism) and an anticaking additive.

I'm not sure its popular! It is prevalent in Africa because the water they drink does not have added Iodine as most western developed countries do, and also because they have a low iodine diet which can lead to issues with the thyroid gland (cretinism in children, Thyroiditis/hashimoto's/Ord's in teens and adults). .

Thyroxine is the precursor to active thyroid hormone, which is essential for life. Thyroid hormone also plays an important role in brain development. A child with untreated low thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) will develop a condition known as cretinism, which is marked by severe physical and mental abnormalities.

Iodized salt contain iodine as potassium iodide or iodate: - the iodine concentration must be 20+/-5 mg/1 kg salt which is equivalent to: - 34+/-8,5 mg potassium iodate or - 26+/-6,5 mg potassium iodide An insufficient daily intake of iodine can lead to thyroid diseases or cretinism.

You mean Iodine? Iodine is especially important for children because it helps the body develope and the thyroid gland to function. A deficiency of the right kind of iodine (not just in iodized salt) may cause mental retardation, goiters (growths on the thyroid), and cretinism (a condition causing hypothyroidism, deafness and muteness, and certain movement disorders).

Somatotropic hormone is another name for growth hormone. If a body does not have enough it will not grow properly. One condition that results from lack of somatotropic hormone is called cretinism. Not only will the body not from properly, but there will likely also be a lack of mental development as well. The gland that is responsible for secreting somatotropic hormone is the anterior lobe of the pituitary.
