... (TD). ICM can induce hyperthyroidism (Hyper) or hypothyroidism (Hypo) due to supraphysiological concentrations of iodine in the contrast solution. The prevalence of ICM-induced TD varies from 1 to 15%. ICM-induced Hyper is predominantly found in regions with iodine deficiency and in patients...

Methods: The effect of the administration of GC-1 or equimolar doses of triiodothyronine (T3) was evaluated on the reproductive performance of the hypothyroid female rat and the indirect effect on pup thyroid status, weight, and survival. Results: Hypothyroidism reduced...

... are presented in Figure 1 (supporting information is given in online suppl. Table 2). There was more than a five-fold increase in LT4 use during the study period; in 2004, 1.1% of pregnant women had LT4 treatment, and by 2016, the prevalence increased to 6.2%. The prevalence of diagnosed hypothyroidism...

... when compared with other D2-containing tissues. Thus, while increasing the LT4 replacement dose to treat hypothyroidism, normalization of serum TSH levels will occur before full normalization of serum T3 levels. The role played by D1 is secondary, mainly because its affinity for T4 is three orders...

All subjects were well controlled on substitution therapy with various LT4 formulations. None of the patients had known LT4 malabsorption...

... transplantation (BMT/HSCT). In both alemtuzumab-induced TD and HIV/HAART patients, the commonest disorder is Graves’ disease (GD), followed by hypothyroidism and thyroiditis; Graves’ orbitopathy is observed in some GD patients. On the contrary, GD is rare post-BMT/HSCT, where hypothyroidism predominates probably...
