Overview
Common risk factors in the development of multinodular goiter include female sex, age over 50 years,areas with decreased iodine intake, iodine supplementation, natural goitrogens, vitamin A, iron deficiency and selenium deficiency.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of multinodular goiter include:
- Natural goitrogens associated with the development of multinodular goiter include:[3]
- Millet, soy beans, coconut, babassu contain flavonoids that impair thyroperoxidase.
- Cassava, sweet potato, sorghum contain cyanogenic glucosides metabolized to thiocyanates that Inhibits iodine thyroidal uptake.
- Cabbage, cauliflower, Broccoli, turnips contain glucosinolates that impair iodine thyroidal uptake.
- Seaweed (kelp) contains excess iodine that inhibits release of thyroidal hormones.
- Vitamin A and Iron deficiency increases TSH stimulation and reduces heme-dependent thyroperoxidase thyroidal activity.
- Selenium deficiency accumulates peroxidase and causes deiodinase deficiency resulting in impaired thyroid hormone synthesis.
- Head or neck irradiation in an adult is associated with increased frequency of toxic nodular goiter.
- Iodine supplementation or iodinated contrast agents or iodinated drugs, such as amiodarone, may also induce hyperthyroidism in patients with underlying nontoxic multinodular goiter(Jod-Basedow effect).[4]
