The daily dose of levothyroxine had been increased gradually at an interval of 3 months over a year because of persistent elevation of serum TSH level. Laboratory tests revealed markedly elevated Free T4, Free T3 and TSH levels, along with low concentrations of all lipid fractions, serum ...
The easiest and most effective treatment is simplytaking a thyroid hormone pill (levothyroxine) once a day, preferably in the morning. This medication is a pure synthetic form of T4 which is made in a laboratory to be an exact replacement for the T4 that the human thyroid gland normally secr...
Conclusions:Sustained elevation of serum TSH levels during active surveillance is associated with PTMC progression. Maintaining a low-normal TSH range with levothyroxine treatment during active surveillance of PTMC might be conside...

With hypothyroidism, a high TSH usually means that the dose of thyroid hormone replacement needs to be increased. In some cases, however, the dose is okay, but the medication is not fully absorbed. For example, many foods and medications can affect the absorption of Synthroid (levothyroxine) ...
10 and with overt hypothyroid symptoms such as fatigue, unintentional weight gain, constipation, or cold intolerance. In these patients, it is worthwhile to try a low dose of levothyroxine (25-50 mcg/d) and repeat TSH and free T4 tests in 6-8 weeks and see if the TSH level normalizes....
All patients were finally treated with liquid L-T4, with a good control of TSH values after 6 months of liquid L-T4 therapy (Table 1). Discussion The gold standard replacement therapy for patients with hypothyroidism is levothyroxine. There are requisites to obtain an effective therapy, that ...

levothyroxine (L-T4) after total thyroidectomy for differentiated carcinoma. Depending on the clinical records, including serum TSH levels measured by immunoradiometric assay, these patients were divided into two groups. One group of patients was given suppressive doses of L-T4 (TSH < 0.1 mU/L,...
