January 14, 2025FEATURED Medical education topic: Top Questions in the Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism
More than 12% of the United States population will develop a thyroid disorder sometime in their lifetime, and up to 60% of those with a disorder are unaware of their condition. Women are 5-8 times more likely to have thyroid problems than men. Two of the most common thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone, and hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid produces too much. Thyroid dysfunction can lead to serious health issues, including cardiovascular disease. It is important for healthcare providers to know about thyroid function testing recommendations and treatment options for thyroid disorders.
Proposed Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, the learners will be able to:
- Evaluate the uses for the different components of thyroid function testing related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis
- Delineate the knowns and unknowns in our understanding around the management of hypothyroidism
- Describe the pros and cons regarding the treatment options for the various etiologies of hyperthyroidism
