Lab functions to...: 17 y/o male says I have goiter caused by iodine deficient hypothyroidism. I am taking iodine supplements. When I will see first treatment results, goiter isn't very big? If a Healthcare provider started one on the iodine supplement it will be appropriate to have him/her monitor the Thyroid Lab Functions to guide treatment. If not one should see a PCP/Endocrinologist for Follow up.
