REVIEW: Treatment of hypothyroidism with combinations of levothyroxine plus liothyronine.
CONTEXT Combined infusion of levothyroxine plus liothyronine, as opposed to levothyroxine alone, is the only way of restoring the concentrations of circulating TSH, T4, and T3 as well as those of both T4 and T3 in all tissues of thyroidectomized rats. Considering the substantial differences in thyroid hormone secretion, transport, and metabolism between rats and humans, whether or not combined ...
متن کاملCombined levothyroxine plus liothyronine compared with levothyroxine alone in primary hypothyroidism: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Standard therapy for patients with primary hypothyroidism is replacement with synthetic thyroxine, which undergoes peripheral conversion to triiodothyronine, the active form of thyroid hormone. Within the lay population and in some medical communities, there is a perception that adding synthetic triiodothyronine, or liothyronine, to levothyroxine improves the symptoms of hypothyroidism ...
متن کاملCurrent evidence for the treatment of hypothyroidism with levothyroxine/levotriiodothyronine combination therapy versus levothyroxine monotherapy
OBJECTIVE Hypothyroidism is relatively common, occurring in approximately 5% of the general US population aged ≥12 years. Levothyroxine (LT4) monotherapy is the standard of care. Approximately, 5%-10% of patients who normalise thyroid-stimulating hormone levels with LT4 monotherapy may have persistent symptoms that patients and clinicians may attribute to hypothyroidism. A long-standing debate ...
متن کاملTreatment of hypothyroidism with levothyroxine plus liothyronine: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study.
Objective To compare the effects of a unique fixed combination levothyroxine/liothyronine (LT4/LT3) therapy in patients with primary hypothyroidism. Subjects and methods This is a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Adults with primary hypothyroidism (n = 32, age 42.6 ± 13.3, 30 females) on stable doses of LT4 for ≥ 6 months (125 or 150 μg/day) were randomized to continue LT4 treatment...
متن کاملReversible dilated cardiomyopathy caused by hypothyroidism
The association between lack of thyroid hormones and cardiac dysfunction has been well described. We report two new cases of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), revealing a periphery hypothyroidism and for whom cardiac function significantly improved after L thyroxin substitutive treatment. Our cases highlight the necessity to perform thyroid function testing to investigate the etiology...
