摘要

Hypothyroidism, the deficiency of thyroid hormone, is a common condition worldwide. It affects almost all body systems and has a wide variety of clinical presentations from being asymptomatic to, in rare cases, life threatening. The classic symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, lethargy, weight gain, and cold intolerance; however, these symptoms are non-specific and the diagnosis is typically made on biochemical grounds through serum thyroid function tests. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), although other causes, including drugs (such as amiodarone, lithium, and immune checkpoint inhibitors), radioactive-iodine treatment, and thyroid surgery, are frequent. Historically, severe iodine deficiency was the most common cause. Reference ranges for thyroid function tests are based on fixed percentiles of the population distribution, but there is increasing awareness of the need for more individualised reference intervals based on key factors such as age, sex, and special circumstances such as pregnancy. Levothyroxine monotherapy is the standard treatment for hypothyroidism; it is safe and inexpensive, restores thyroid function tests to within the reference range, and improves symptoms in the majority of patients. However, 10% of patients have persistent symptoms of ill health despite normalisation of thyroid function tests biochemically and a substantial proportion of patients on levothyroxine have thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations outside the reference range. Ongoing symptoms despite levothyroxine treatment has led to some patients using liothyronine or desiccated thyroid extract. Taken together, these factors have led to intense debate around the treatment thresholds and treatment strategies for hypothyroidism. In this Seminar, we review the epidemiology, genetic determinants, causes, and presentation of hypothyroidism; highlight key considerations and controversies in its diagnosis and management; and provide future directions for research.
