HypothyroidismHypothyroidism—also called

under-active thyroid—is the mostcommon thyroid disorder. Ithappens when your thyroid glanddoesn’t produce enough thyroidhormone, which is essentialbecause thyroid hormone helpsregulate important bodyprocesses, such as yourmetabolism. But with low thyroidfunction, these body processesslow down.

The prevalence of thyroiddisorders increases with age andnumerous morphological andphysiological changes of thethyroid gland during the processof aging are well-known. It is to bestressed that the clinical course ofthyroid diseases in the elderlydiffers essentially from thatobserved in younger individuals,because symptoms are moresubtle and are often attributed tonormal aging.

Hypothyroidism symptomsusually develop incredibly slowly;it can take years for them to showup. Also, some symptoms mimicsymptoms of other diseases, suchas fibromyalgia and rheumatoidarthritis.

Key hypothyroidism symptomsinclude constipation, depression,and fatigue. Pale, dry skin;

sensitivity to cold; joint pain;elevated cholesterol levels; brittlefingernails and hair; unexplainedweight gain; memory problems;and loss of appetite, are othercommon symptoms.

Multiple factors may contributeto hypothyroidism, including:

• Hashimoto’s thyroiditis:This autoimmune disease isthe most common cause ofhypothyroidism.

• medications: Certainmedications, such as lithium,can cause hypothyroidism.

• pregnancy: Hypothyroidismcan develop during or afterpregnancy.

• treatment forhyperthyroidism: Peoplewho have hyperthyroidism(overactive thyroid) aretreated with radioactiveiodine therapy, whichimpairs thyroid function andcan cause hypothyroidism.

• thyroid surgery: If yourthyroid gland is removed,you can’t make thyroidhormone, so you’ll need totake thyroid hormonereplacement.

Doctors use blood tests todiagnose hypothyroidism,including tests to measure theamount of thyroid-stimulatinghormone (TSH) and free thyroidhormone levels in your body. Ifthe TSH test results are normalbut you still havehypothyroidism symptoms, yourdoctor can test for free T4—athyroid hormone—in yourbody. Also, the anti-thyroidperoxidase test can determinewhether hypothyroidism iscaused by Hashimoto’sthyroiditis.

Once diagnosed withhypothyroidism, you’ll need totake medication (thyroidhormone replacement) toreplace your missing thyroidhormone. Thyroid medication—usually a daily dose oflevothyroxine in pill form—issafe and generally very effectiveat treating hypothyroidism. Youmay also need regular bloodtests to see if you need to adjustyour levothyroxine dose. Somecommon brand names forlevothyroxine are Levothroid,Levoxyl, and Synthroid

You can live a full, normallife if you continue to take yourmedicine to controlhypothyroidism. A healthylifestyle—incorporatingnutritious foods and moderateexercise—can also help youbetter manage yourhypothyroidism. Sources:www.endocrineweb.com
