Thyroid examination at JUVENIS in Vienna
Examination of the thyroid
The main function of the thyroid is the storage of iodine and the production of the iodine-containing thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine as well as the peptide hormone calcitonin. The follicular epithelial cells of this gland (thyrocytes) produce iodine-containing thyroid hormones and play an important role in energy metabolism and the growth of individual cells as well as the organism as a whole.
This important organ is the origin of many diseases, so disturbances of hormone metabolism can lead to an underactive or overactive thyroid (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism). These functional disorders often cause a marked deterioration in well-being.
