Abstract: Presented in this review is analysis of literature on the impact that microelements have on synthesis of hormones and on function of thyroid gland. Such microelements as iodine and selenium are equally important for proper functioning of thyroid gland, and their excess or deficiency is closely related to development of a series of pathological states, including autoimmune thyropathies. Selenium deficiency is associated with such pathological changes of thyroid gland as volume increase, echogenicity changes, emergence of palpable abnormalities. These changes lead to decrease of antioxidant defense of thyroid gland. We present results of the studies which imply a possible positive impact of selenium medications on decrease of individual risk of autoimmune processes in patients.
