Thyroid vigil
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 4
Abstract
Thyroid disorders have become common in everyday practice. Enhanced understanding of the importance of thyroid dysfunction, better facilities for screening and diagnosis, and increased life expectancy have contributed to the increase in prevalence of these disease. Major changes have also occurred in the etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation and diagnosis of thyroid disease. The physician must be aware of these developments, and current guidelines, in order to provide best possible guidance and care to his or her patients.
