Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism results from low levels of thyroid hormone with varied etiology and manifestations. Hypothyroidism is primarily categorized as primary and secondary (ie, central) hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland cannot produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. The less commonly seen secondary or central hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland functions normally; however, hypothyroidism results from the abnormal pituitary gland or hypothalamus function. Autoimmune thyroiditis and iodine deficiency are the most common causes of the disease. Central hypothyroidism is rare. The drug of choice for the treatment of hypothyroidism of any etiology is thyroid hormone replacement. Untreated hypothyroidism increases morbidity and mortality. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, managing hypothyroidism, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes.
