Abstract
The excessive secretion and production of thyroid hormone leads to hyperthyroidism, which can be caused by various factors related to function of gland itself, to regulatory part and due to extra-thyroidal factors. The number one cause of hyperthyroidism is body’s self-induced overproduction of thyroid hormone, which is known as the Graves’ disease. Moreover, iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormone, therefore, the imbalance in its concentration in body may cause either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Kazakhstan is the country in Central Asia, which has various degrees of iodine deficiency across the country, despite government’s effort to solve this problem by adding iodine into the table salt. As the thyroid disorders are serious conditions, the proper study on its epidemiology is required. There is a lack of information on the epidemiological situation in Kazakhstan related to hyperthyroidism. Thus, the objective of this paper is to analyze the data from the nationwide large-pool registry, which was collected from 2013 to 2019. The statistical analysis on prevalence, incidence, all-cause mortality, survival rates and co-morbidities will be performed on the following study using statistical analysis. It is expected that women are more likely to have hyperthyroidism.
