Abstract:

A simple ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and fully validated to simultaneously determine levothyroxine (LT4) and liothyronine (LT3) in human serum. Sample preparation was done through protein precipitation with acetonitrile. HyPURITY C18 column was selected to achieve rapid separation for LT4 and LT3 within 4 min. Electrospray ionization (ESI) under multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to monitor the ion transitions for LT4 (m/z 777.54→731.52), LT3 (m/z 651.64→ 605.65) and internal standard LT4-D3 (m/z

Abstract:

Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disorders that significantly impacts patient health related quality of life (HRQoL). Levothyroxine (LT4) is the primary treatment used alone to restore normal thyroid hormone levels. This review examines how levothyroxine (LT4) treatment influences the quality of life in individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It assesses the effectivity of levothyroxine in symptom resolution, explore factors influencing QoL, and identify possible shortcomings in the current treatment plan. This review evaluates recent observational studies and meta-analyses that

Abstract:

Background. Levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are believed to reflect degree of disease in patients with hypothyroidism, and normalization of levels is the treatment goal. However, despite adequate levels of TSH after starting levothyroxine (LT4) therapy, 5–10% of hypothyroid patients complain of persisting symptoms with a significant negative impact on quality of life. This indicates that TSH is not an optimal indicator of intracellular thyroid hormone effects in all patients. Our aim was to investigate different effects of LT3 and LT4 monotherapy on other biomarkers of the thyroid

AbstractDespite some reports, the usefulness of levothyroxine ( LT4) and levotriiodothyronine (LT3) combination therapy in hypothyroidism remains controversial. The objective of this paper is to study a benefit of additional LT3 in athyreotic patients who failed to normalize TSH on LT4 alone even with hyperthyroid serum T4 values.In a survey of 200 athyreotic patients treated between 2006 and 2009, about 7% failed to normalize serum TSH levels following treatment with LT4, though serum T4 values in the hyperthyroid range were achieved. These patients (characterized by serum T4≥160 nmol/L and T

Abstract:

The current standard of care for hypothyroidism is levothyroxine (LT4) monotherapy to reduce levels of thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) within its reference range and amelioration of any symptoms. A substantial minority continues to report hypothyroid-like symptoms despite optimized TSH, however. These symptoms are not specific to thyroid dysfunction and are frequent among the euthyroid population, creating a therapeutic dilemma for the treating clinician as well as the patient. We present a concise, narrative review of the clinical research and evidence-based guidance on the man

Abstract Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism is common in older individuals. To better understand the underlying physiology, we examined the pituitary-thyroid axis using thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation testing both at baseline and after levothyroxine (LT4) and liothyronine (LT3) supplementation.

Abstract:

Abstract Context It is well recognized that some hypothyroid patients on levothyroxine (LT4) remain symptomatic, but why patients are susceptible to this condition, why symptoms persist, and what is the role of combination therapy with LT4 and liothyronine (LT3), are questions that remain unclear. Here we explore evidence of abnormal thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism in LT4-treated patients, and offer a rationale for why some patients perceive LT4 therapy as a failure.

Abstract:

Regardless of the cause, hypothyroidism should be treated with levothyroxine. The objectives of management are the normalization of TSH levels and the relief of symptoms. In general, the vast majority of patients who achieve normalization of TSH levels show a resolution of symptoms; however, for a small number of individuals, symptoms persist (despite adequate control of TSH). This scenario generates a dilemma in the therapeutic approach to these patients, because even when excluding other causes or concomitant diseases that can explain the persistence of symptoms, pharmacological management s

Abstract:

Individuals with hypothyroidism will require lifelong thyroxine replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms and prevent long-term consequences. Levothyroxine (LT4), a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), is the standard and most prescribed medication for managing hypothyroidism. Triiodothyronine (T3) is another thyroid hormone that can be used in replacement therapy, but it is not typically used as a first-line treatment. However, a combination of T4 and T3 may be considered in uncommon situations when T4 to T3 conversions are reduced. Optimal replacement therapy is individualized, and factors such

Abstract:

Hypothyroidism refers to the common pathological disorder of thyroid hormone deficiency. The successful therapy for hypothyroidism is levothyroxine (LT4) administration, which is the same as thyroxine but produced synthetically. Serum thyrotropin (TSH) normalization with LT4 replacement therapy in hypothyroidism is generally needed to restore a euthyroid state. The daily dose of thyroxine therapy depends on various factors, such as body weight, age, and severity. It also differs from hypothyroidism during pregnancy to congenital hypothyroidism. The presence of various comorbidities may exist s

Abstract:

Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common condition associated with a raised serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) but normal serum free thyroxine and triiodothyronine. It is more prevalent in women and people with advancing age. Most patients with subclinical hypothyroidism are asymptomatic. About 2.5% patients progress to overt hypothyroidism annually although the rate of progression is higher in the presence of thyroid autoantibodies. Subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure and cerebrovascular disease in younger patients (<6
