ABSTRACT
The use of ultrasensitive
techniques for determination of
thyrotropine (TSH) has made
it possible to substantially raise
the possibilities of diagnosis
of subclinical hypothyroidism
(SCH). This is a disorder that
may occur in any life stage (more
frequently in the older age)
mainly in females and mostly
related to the presence of antithyroid
peroxidase antibodies
(antiTPO). By definition,
subclinical hypothyroidism
is asymptomatic but the
majority of patients report at
least a symptom that might be
expression of hypothyroidism.
Drug and expectant therapies are the most recommended
types of treatment, although
there is no international
consensus on deciding the use
of one or the other.
