Difference between Hypothyroidism and Iodine deficiency

Hypothyroidism vs. Iodine deficiency

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Iodine deficiency is a lack of the trace element iodine, an essential nutrient in the diet.

Similarities between Hypothyroidism and Iodine deficiency

Hypothyroidism and Iodine deficiency have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Congenital hypothyroidism, Congenital iodine deficiency syndrome, Endemic goitre, Endocrinology, Fatigue, Goitre, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Hyperthyroidism, Iodine, Iodine Global Network, Iodised salt, Pregnancy, Public health, Thyroid hormones, Thyroid-stimulating hormone, Triiodothyronine, World Health Organization.

Thyroid hormones

Thyroid hormones are two hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, namely triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).

Thyroid-stimulating hormone

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
