In this study we retrospectively evaluated the adequacy of L-T4 doses in 54 young patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism (AH), who were treated for at least three years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were affected by either a Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) - related hypothyroidism or an AH of central origin (CeH). Our aim was to ascertain whether L-T4 requirements are different in cases with different causes of AH.
In children with acquired hypothyroidism levothyroxine requirements may be significantly conditioned by the etiology of thyroid failure
