    Subclinical hypothyroidism is a biochemical diagnosis characterized by an elevated serum TSH level, but with a normal serum free thyroxine level. [48] [49] [50] The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism is estimated to be 3-15% and a higher incidence is seen in elderly people, females and those with lower iodine levels. [48]

    Hypothyroidism is common in pregnancy with an estimated prevalence of 2-3% and 0.3-0.5% for subclinical and overt hypothyroidism respectively. [8] Endemic iodine deficiency accounts for most hypothyroidism in pregnant women worldwide while chronic autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in iodine sufficient parts of the world.

  4. Jostel's TSH index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jostel's_TSH_index

    It is unclear if this finding reflects shortcomings of the index (i.e. low specificity in the setting of subclinical hypothyroidism) or plastic responses of the pituitary gland to beginning hypothyroidism. [citation needed] In subjects with type 2 diabetes, treatment with beta blockers resulted in increased TSH index, but the mechanism is ...

    Abnormal thyroid function tests without any clinical symptoms (subclinical hypothyroidism or subclinical hyperthyroidism). [2] In the US, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were respectively found in 4.6 and 1.3% of the >12y old population (2002). [3]

  6. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

    Thyroid function tests (TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.

  7. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

    Severe hypothyroidism is associated with mutations leading to lower production of IL-4 (Th2 cytokine suppressing cell-mediated autoimmunity), [37] lower secretion of TGF-β (inhibitor of cytokine production), [38] and mutations of FOXP3, an essential regulatory factor for the regulatory T cells (Tregs) development. [39]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthyroid_sick_syndrome

    Both NTIS and primary hypothyroidism may have reduced fT3 and fT4, and elevated TSH (which is common in the hospital, during the recovery phase of NTIS). [2] Prescribing thyroxine to treat this may lead to lifelong thyroid overtreatment. [2] Hyperthyroidism may be assumed due to decreased TSH and a transient fT4 increase.
