Endocrinological Out-Patients Clinic at Children's Hospital in Dziekanów Leśny takes care of the children from Mazovia region. Hormonal findings in children with simple goiter were analyzed in several groups of patients. In all those patients preferential T3-secretion and decreased T4 production was found. These findings allow to conclude, that in Mazovia region there is iodine deficiency, which is probably the main cause of goiter development.
