Abstract
The children living in Kazan were examined to estimate the state of thyroid gland. The level of iodine saturation of the organism was evaluated by the cerium — arsenite method. The discrepancy between the incidence of thyroid gland hyperplasia and the amount of urinary excretion of iodine was revealed. The general health state of the children under study, peculiarities of their diet, and drugs being taken at the moment were analyzed. Taking into account the great incidence of gastro-intestinal tract injuries and allergic manifestations, the use of enterosorbent — microcrystalline cellulose in the treatment of children with thyroid gland hyperplasia was suggested. Two types of changes of urinary excretion of iodine proving the participation of enterosorbents in the correction of iodine content in the organism were revealed in the course of the treatment.
