PATHOLOGY OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AMONG WOMEN IRRADIATED DURING PREGNANCY DUE TO INCORPORATION OF RADIOACTIVE IODINE BY THE THYROID GLAND

Abstract
This publication analyzes the long-term pathology associated with thyroid function in women who were pregnant in April 1986 and, as a result of the Chernobyl accident, received radiation due to the incorporation of radioactive iodine. The comparison group consisted of women living in the same region of Belarus, but whose pregnancy occurred after the decay of the iodine radioisotope. The age of women in both groups at the time of pregnancy was 22–24 years, the gestation period was 21–23 weeks. Due to the incorporation of radioactive iodine, an average absorbed dose of 60–80 mGy was generated. The incidence of endocrine system diseases in women was expressed mainly due to diseases of the thyroid gland, nutritional and metabolic disorders (obesity). The cumulative incidence in the main group was not much different from the incidence in the comparison group. Based on the data presented, a conclusion is made about the non-radiation nature of the identified pathology, which can be associated with an excess of stable iodine due to its intake from food and the use of iodine-containing medications during pregnancy.
