List of deficiency diseases and their symptoms?
Rickets in children and osteomalacia are examples of deficiency diseases due to vitamin deficiency. Scurvy is an example of vitamin C deficiency. Beriberi is an example of vitamin B one deficiency. (Both, wet beriberi and dry beriberi.) Pellagra is an example of Niacin deficiency. Anemia is caused by deficiency of vitamin B 12 and Folic acid. Burning feet syndrome is caused by the deficiency of Pantothenic acid. Night blindness is caused by the deficiency of vitamin A. Kwashiorkor and marasmus are caused by deficiency of proteins and food, respectively. Poverty is caused by deficiency of kindness. Inequality is caused by deficiency of compassion.
Which of the following is caused by mineral deficiency A) beriberi B)goitre C)scurvy D)night blindness?
Beriberi is caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency Goitre can be caused by iodine deficiency - although there are other potential causes. Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency Night blindness (Nyctalopia) can have many different causes - but one cause is vitamin A deficiency.
What's Thyroid disease?
Thyroid diseases sometimes result from inappropriate TSH levels, or may be caused by problems in the thyroid gland itself.The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition where the body makes antibodies that destroy parts of the thyroid gland. Surgical removal and certain medications (e.g., amiodarone, lithium) can also cause hypothyroidism.Other causes of hypothyroidism include pituitary problems, hypothalamus problems, and iodine deficiency (rare in North America, but affects nearly 2 billion people worldwide).Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. This condition occurs when the immune system produces an antibody that stimulates the entire thyroid gland; this leads to overactivity and higher levels of thyroid hormones.Secondary hyperthyroidism is caused when the pituitary gland makes too much TSH, leading to constant stimulation of the thyroid gland. A pituitary tumour may cause TSH levels to rise. More rarely, the pituitary gland becomes insensitive to thyroid hormones, no longer responding to high levels.Another possible cause of hyperthyroidism is a condition called thyroiditis. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland becomes inflamed. Depending on the type of thyroiditis, this may lead to temporary hyperthyroidism that might be followed by hypothyroidism.
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?
No, the condition is caused by deficiency of the parathyroid gland.
Why was goiter observed in Michael's case?
Michael likely developed a goiter due to iodine deficiency. Goiter is a condition characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland, often caused by insufficient iodine intake, which is necessary for proper thyroid hormone production. Lack of iodine in the diet can lead to thyroid gland enlargement as it tries to compensate for the deficiency by working harder to produce thyroid hormones.
Polyuria could be caused by a deficiency of what hypothalamic hormone?
Polyuria is caused by a deficiency of the hormone known as ADH or "Antidiuretic Hormone".
What is cretinism disease?
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
What is the medical term meaning Condition caused by not enough growth hormone?
The medical term for a condition caused by not enough growth hormone is "growth hormone deficiency." This condition can lead to short stature and delayed physical development if left untreated. Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy.
What hormone causes goiters?
Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, located in the neck. Simple goiter is caused by too little iodine which is available in the hormone thyroxine. Toxic goiter, on the other hand, is caused by exactly the opposite condition, overproduction of thyroxine. Oddly enough, both can often be treated by the administration of iodine in one form or another.
Enlarged thyroid or weight gain may be caused by a prolonged deficiency in?
Iodine.
What is the disease goiter caused from?
enlargement of thyroid gland known as goitre. it is usually caused by deficiency of iodine.
How does a person inherit dwarfism?
Dwarfism is caused by a deficiency of growth hormone
What disorder is caused when the thyroid gland is not working?
Thyroid dysfunction may be caused by anyone or more of several diseases and disorders. Dysfunction may result in too much hormone, or too little. In either case the thyroid is not functioning properly. If the question refers to the thryoid function halting or under-functioning, then the most common cause is Hashimoto's Disease, however cold nodules in the thyroid can also cause a hypOthyroid condition, as can iodine deficiency. Eating too many goitregenic foods may cause a hypOthyroid condition. A less common cause of hypOthyroid function is a problem with the pituitary gland which is the master controller for the thyroid and other glands.
Is Goiter a contagious disease?
No. Goiter is not a contagious disease. It is caused do to iodine-deficiency.
How does Goitre Iodine deficiency affect the body?
The thyroid gland produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine which essential element is iodine. It order for these hormones to function they need iodine. Without these hormones the thyroid can not function properly and swells (goiter). Reduced function in the thyroid also caused the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to produce thyroid stimulating hormone which irritates the thyroid more.
