Jodbasedow

Jod-Basedow effect is used to describe hyperthyroidism following administration of iodine or iodide, either as a dietary supplement or as contrast medium. This phenomenon is an iodine-induced hyperthyroidism, typically presenting in a patient with endemic goiter who then relocates to an iodine-abundant geographical area. It is named for Karl Adolph von Basedow, a German physician and the German word for Iodine, Jod. It is opposite to the Wolff-Chaikoff effect
