Persani Luca

The central hypothyroidism (CeH) is a hypothyroid condition due to an insufficient stimulation by TSH of an otherwise normal thyroid gland. CeH is about 1000-fold rarer than primary hypothyroidism (PH). Differently to PH, the CeH is most frequently characterized by low/normal TSH levels and thyroid hormone replacement is associated with the suppression of residual TSH secretion even during low thyroxine regimen.Thus, CH management often represents a clin...

Despite this, it remains an area in which there is diverse practice. There are centre and speciality-specific approaches to diagnosis and management that reflect both the apparent absence of a clear evidence-base and differences in perceived clinical priorities.This presentation will focus on a number of key the...
