https://doi.org/10.21518/2079-701X-2016-3-79-81
Abstract
Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine diseases. The article tells about prevalence, etiology and clinical pattern of hypothyroidism. The principles of diagnosis of thyroid hormone deficiency and levothyroxine replacement therapy are discussed. Factors that affect the quality of hypothyroidism compensation, and major causes of the disease decompensation are also considered.
