We sincerely thank the editors and reviewers for giving us the opportunity to publish this article. Our response to Professors Ahn and Chung’s letter are included below. Previous studies of subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) mainly focused on the aggravation of SHT to overt hypothyroidism [1,2]. However, the clinical significance of long-term, persistent SHT and clinically reliable prognostic fac...

Subclinical hypothyroidism was detected in 5.7% of 853 patients referred for ambulatory examination to a department in Prague. In patients referred with a mild degree of subclinical hypothyroidism with an evaluated level of thyrotropic hormone in serum (TSH) no significant deviations of serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine (T4 and T3) were found nor different values of the Achilles tendon refle...
