The Thyroid Cancer Effect
The thyroid is a bilobulated gland in the neck. “The thyroid gland is prone to several very distinct problems, some of which are extremely common. These problems can be broken down into thoseconcerning the production of hormone (too much, or too little), those due to increased growth of the thyroid, causing compression of important neck structures or simply appearing as a mass in the neck, the formation of nodules or lumps within the thyroid which are worrisome for the presence of thyroid cancer, and those which are cancerous. Each thyroid topic is addressed separately andillustrated with actual patient x-rays and pictures to make them easier to understand.” (James Norman M.D.) ‘Thyroid hormones, thyroxin, and triiodothyronine’(G. M. Abram, P. R. Larsen) increase oxygen consumption and stimulate the rate of metabolic activity they regulate the growth and maturation of the tissues of the body and act on the state of alert physical and mental conditions. The thyroid alsosecrets a hormone called calcitonin, which lowers blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and inhibits bone absorption of these ions. The thyroid produces some hormone compounds which have a characteristic unique to the body and iodine enters its composition. And this is a very important fact, because if the organism does not have iodine the thyroid cannot produce hormones. We can live with a limitednumber of elements. We can live without nickel, cadmium and other elements, but we cannot live without iodine. Thyroid hormones are involved in virtually all of the organic functions to activating them, and keeping the human body plentiful of health. Some of the risks is currently cancer, and also affects the thyroid hormone. The vast majority of thyroid cancer corresponds to papillary, follicularcarcinomas and Hurtle cells. They are usually benign and curable. The effects of thyroid cancer and then living without thyroid glandule are several.
If the thyroid glandule is removed the human body suffer an immediate low of thyroid hormone, the patient is going to live taking thyroid hormone supplement for the rest of its life. The most common thyroid surgery is removed it and theparathyroid. Parathyroid are the producers of the calcium necessary for the functioning of the human body. When it happens, the human body suffers an immediate calcium decline. The first low of calcium reaction is a tingling sensation throughout the body, and then it intensifies causing continuous cramps in all the muscles. The culmination of a deep fall of calcium in the body is felt with strong musclecontractions. This effect of low calcium in the body produces a very severe pain throughout the body. If at this time the amount of calcium in the body not rises, the next stage can result a cardiac arrest and then the patient die. Another factor to consider relating to calcium is that optimal of these mineral levels should be controlling. On the other hand, if the patient who is living withoutthyroid gland is taking high levels of calcium can poison the body and directly harm the heart also killing it. It is very important to maintain optimal calcium levels in the human body, no to too much no too low. At this point the endocrinology and the patient will work together to find the correct amount of calcium levels. For example, the last time that I was hospitalized for five days because mycalcium level decreased in my body, I felt the first symptom, the sensation of tingling all over my body, then the cramps. I informed my nurse. My nurse did not believed about how a patient may feel with so much precision that the dose of calcium were very low. That situation was reported to my primary doctor, and she ordered to the hospital lab to take me a blood sample to analyze. After thirty...
