title: [Functional state of hyperplastic thyroid gland in children with autonomic-vascular dystonia of hypotensive type and signs of connective tissue dysgenesia].
abstract: Functional state of hyperplastic thyroid gland in 172 children aged from 11 to 14 years with vegeto-vascular dystonia of hypotensive type and signs of connective tissue dysgenesia have been studied. The study showed the tendency of the observed children to hyperfunction of the thyroid gland. Hyperplasia and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland in children with vegeto-vascular dysfunction of hypotensive type was supposed to be a compensatory reaction to the decrease in indices of the central hemodynamics. The children with signs of connective tissue dysgenesia might have structural defects in connective tissue components of the basal membrane of the vascular wall. It may cause in its turn the decrease in vascular elasticity and lead to the reduction of indices of central hemodynamics and arterial hypotension.
