Hypothyroidism: A Definitive Diagnosis Guides Treatment â MM1508
Hypothyroidism may be obvious clinically but it has a wide spectrum of severity and can be very subtle. Many people with a normal thyroid function may present to GPs with complaints of mild symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism. Therefore, biochemical confirmation of true hypothyroidism is mandatory. There is no evidence that thyroxine treatment of suggestive symptoms is beneficial when tests are normal.
