Please see the web pages for more details on Hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone deficiency. It is diagnosed by clinical features such as a typical facies, hoarse slow speech, and dry skin, and by low levels of thyroid hormones. Management includes treatment of the underlying cause and administration of thyroxine.
A physical examination reveals delayed relaxation of muscles during tests of reflexes. Other findings may include pale, yellow skin, thin and brittle hair, coarse facial features, brittle nails, firm swelling of the arms and legs, and mental slowing. Vital signs may show slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and low temperature.
A chest x-ray may show an enlarged heart.
Laboratory tests to determine thyroid function include:
* T4 test (low)
* Serum TSH (high in primary hypothyroidism, low or low-normal in secondary hypothyroidism)
Additional laboratory abnormalities may include:
* Increased cholesterol levels
* Increased liver enzymes
* Increased serum prolactin
* Low serum sodium
* A complete blood count (CBC) that shows anemia
