Course overview
Thyroid dysfunction caused by iodine imbalance encompasses both iodine deficiency and excess iodine, each of which can disrupt normal thyroid hormone synthesis and lead to clinical disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goiter, or thyroiditis. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and deviations from normal intake can have significant effects on metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurologic systems. This course provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive overview of iodine-related thyroid dysfunction, including pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, pharmacologic and nutritional management, and interprofessional care strategies
