There is an ongoing debate in #endocrinology about whether to treat #hypothyroidism with L-T4 alone or a combination therapy with L-T4 and L-T3. But what about patients’ preferences? The majority would choose the combination therapy, as shown in a meta-analysis.

Patients with #hypothyroidism, even when treated with levothyroxine (L-T4), face increased risk of #dementia and #fatality. Fortunately, the risk can be lowered again by a combination therapy with L-T4 and L-T3, as shown by a recent study.

#Syndrome_T, i.e. persistent symptoms and reduced #QoL despite normal #TSH concentration, affects 10% of #hypothyroid patients on #levothyroxine. Careful, multimodal and personalised treatment can result in significantly improved outcomes.

For the diagnosis and management of #hypothyroidism, measuring #TSH (thyrotropin) concentration is necessary, but it isn’t sufficient. Additional #biomarkers help to improve diagnostic power and to identify #endotypes of dysregulation.

The background of our observation is poorly understood, but others could confirm the findings, e. g. in this case report.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) goes along with secondary #hyperparathyroidism. Our group was the first to describe this. The mechanism leading to #sHPT is unclear, but it may contribute to the loss of bone substance in #CRPS.

The interaction of three hormones, #TSH, #T4 and #T3, lays the foundation for #thyroid #homeostasis and its #allostatic responses.

It is necessary to forgo a univariable sight and to consider the evolution of the multihormonal working point to understand health and disease.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-3682-2_6

Multiple feedforward motifs and feedback loops maintain #thyroid #homeostasis and #allostasis. The mechanism of relational stability maintains T3 in a balanced and safe range, even in conditions of declining thyroid function.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-3682-2_5

Signalling via #thyroid hormones is more than T3 and T4. It involves 27 molecules based on the thyronine skeleton, 10 transmembrane transporters, 3 deiodinases, 6 receptors, and 4 types of action, unfolding a complex firework of possibilities, explaining health and disease.

Relational stability is a major motif of the intertwined feedback loops of #thyroid #homeostasis. The integrated systemic roles and interdependent homeostatically regulated equilibrium of TSH, FT4 and #deiodinase​s maintains appropriate FT3 concentrations.

Our eBook on #hypothyroidism has been published. The new cybernetic theory presented here summarises our scientific work of more than 20 years and lays the foundation for improved diagnosis and therapy of #thyroid disorders.

The book is available in EPUB and PDF formats.

Eine #Ketoazidose ist eine gefürchtete Komplikation eines #Diabetes mellitus. Weniger bekannt ist, dass auch andere endokrine Erkrankungen zu einer Ketoazidose führen können. In unserem neuesten Paper stellen wir eine besondere Ursache vor.
