Revision as of 16:33, 27 July 2011
In medicine, hypothyroidism is "a syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland, leading to a decrease in basal metabolic rate. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the skin and edema, known as myxedema."[1]
Thyroid stimulating hormone levels of less than 10 may not be important.[2]
Diagnosis
Symptoms
Symptoms may not be accurate.[3][4] The symptoms that may be distinguish between hypothyroid and normal patients are hoarse voice, dry skin, and muscle cramps.[4]
Treatment
About thirty[5] to forty[3][6] percent of patients taking thyroid hormone replacement may not have appropriate values of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
Taking replacement hormone at night may be better.[7]
