Thyroid hormone measurement items in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis on levothyroxine monotherapy: management based on thyroid tissue volume
BACKGROUND: at Kuma Hospital. While Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) can vary from atrophic to diffusely enlarged thyroid volumes. METHODS: monotherapy for HT, stratifying them by TV, as assessed using ultrasonography. RESULTS: accounted for the majority of all measurements (76%). CONCLUSION: monotherapy at our hospital. Furthermore, our study highlights a management approach whereby TSH levels were intentionally suppressed in some patients.
