Medical Conditions - Jod Basedow Syndrome

Jod-Basedow syndrome is hyperthyroidism caused by increased intake of iodine, either in the diet or as medication or during medical imaging procedures using iodinated contrast. During the imaging procedures, a radiocontrast agent that contains iodine is administered through the vein to improve the visibility of the structures and organs within. These can also result in Jod-Basedow syndrome.
