2 A 33 y.o. white female presents for her annual exam and notes mild fatigue, some difficulty concentrating and dry skin Her vitals and exam are normal Her CBC and BMP are WNL and her TSH is 7mU/ L (ref range 0.5-5) You ask her to repeat her labs in 3 months and her TSH is now 6.8mU/L She asks: What does this TSH mean? How common is this? Do I need any treatment? Biondi et al. Nature ClinPractice Endo & Metab Nov 2005 Vol 1 No 1 BMJ Evidence Centre Oct 2011 The process includes Dietary iodine (I) ingestion Seafood, bread, dairy products Recommended minimum intake is 150 µg/day Active transport and uptake of iodide (I - ) by thyroid gland Stimulated by TSH Occurs via the sodium/iodide symporter Oxidation of I - and iodination of thyroglobulin (Tg) tyrosine residues Coupling of iodotyrosine residues (MIT and DIT) to form T 4 and T 3 Proteolysis of Tg with release of T 4 and T 3 into the circulation

6 In general patients with elevated TSH and positive thyroid antibodies develop hypothyroidism at a rate of ~ 5%/year TPO abs alone ~ 2%/year Odds ratios of developing hypothyroidism Raised TSH alone: 8 for women; 44 for men + TPO abs alone: 8 for women; 25 for men Both increased TSH and abs: 38 for women; 173 for men Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 1995 Jul;43(1):55-68 Almost all thyroidologists would treat with a TSH > 10mU/L Whether to treat with a TSH between 5-10 mu/l is very controversial Much of the objective data to suggest therapeutic benefit is based on cardiovascular risk Diastolic dysfunction Increased peripheral vascular resistance Diastolic hypertension Increased carotid intimal media thickness Endocrine Reviews 29(1):76 131
7 Meta- analysis of 11 world- wide prospective cohort studies Subclinical hypothyroidism was defined as TSH miu/l Risk of CHD events, CHD mortality and total mortality was analyzed 55,287 participants with 542,494 patient years of follow- up Median age ranges from studies Rodoni et al., JAMA, September 22/29, 2010 Vol 304, No. 12 Rodoni et al., JAMA, September 22/29, 2010 Vol 304, No. 12 High background CV risk Symptoms Goiter + Anti- thyroid abs US evidence of thyroiditis by US Infertility Pregnancy Consider LT4 supplementation Low background CV risk No symptoms No goiter No evidence of autoimmune thyroid disease No fertility issues Elderly No evidence of benefit with LT4 Cooper Endocrine Reviews 29(1):76 131
8 A 42 y.o. white female presents to discuss her thyroid hormone replacement after being on levothyroxine 88mcg for 6 years with a TSH that has ranged from mu/l. She has generally felt well but recently decided to undergo a body cleanse with a coffee enema followed by a 3 day liquid diet and initiation of a series of antioxidant supplements (she is not exactly sure what is in them). She feels a bit better. One of her friends who encouraged her to undergo the cleanse has told her she is on a natural thyroid hormone replacement called armour thyroid and suggests your patient ask about it. She asks, should I switch to armour thyroid? Armour thyroid Desiccated thyroid hormone LT4 + Liothyronine (T3 - cytomel) combination Levothyroxine (LT 4 ) It feels natural!
9 T 4 is the primary secretory product of the thyroid gland T 3 is derived from 2 processes The total daily production rate of T 3 is about µg About 80% of circulating T 3 comes from deiodination of T 4 in peripheral tissues About 20% comes from direct thyroid secretion 10-12:1 secreted T4:T3 Schimmel and Utiger.

Arch Intern Med. 2000;160: A 42 y.o. woman presents 1 year after initiating LT4 for hashimoto s thyroiditis induced hypothyroidism It took about 3 months to titrate her LT4 to achieve an optimal TSH For the last 9 months her TSH has ranged between on a total of 3 checks (including today) She feels better than when she was diagnosed but not right Difficult to fully describe but just not the same energy, concentration, mood, etc She has no other medical problems, a normal BMI, does not smoke, describes no significant stressors in her life, drinks no more than 3 drinks/week, sleeps generally well 7-9 hours/night and gets moderate exercise (walking/ swimming/biking) at least 4 days/week She asks, should I switch to armour thyroid?

16 Should all hypothyroid patients be treated with combination LT4/LT3 therapy? No Should any hypothyroid patients be treated with combination LT4/LT3 therapy? Reasonable if symptoms persistent on optimal LT4 therapy When using combination LT4/LT3 therapy, the optimal T4:T3 ratio is ~ 10:1. Hypothyroidism is common Especially mild (subclinical) hypothyroidism A TSH is the only diagnostic testing you need in the majority of patients Thyroid abs can be helpful in predicting who will go on to full thyroid failure in mild hypothyroidism The vast majority of patients do well on LT4 therapy alone The optimal TSH level for the majority of patients is Cooper and Biondi.
