These findings allow the formulation of the hypothesis that (1) treatment with levothyroxine for 180 days after thyroidectomy in GG is not long enough to restore the normality of all the peripheral indicators of action of the thyroid hormones; and (2) levothyroxine replacement therapy is unable to guarantee euthyroidism in all the tissues in GG (eg, during hematopoiesis in the bone marrow).
The new formulation, which is more stable, will assist in the accurate dosage and titration of levothyroxine in the management of hypothyroidism.
The results obtained do not support the use of thyroid hormone therapy with levothyroxine during the first year of rGH therapy in patients who are initially euthyroid.
Given the normal levels of free thyroid hormones, the levothyroxine was probably adequately absorbed.
We conclude that the efficacy of levothyroxine therapy in reducing the size of colloid thyroid nodules is not apparent within six months, despite effective suppression of thyrotropin.
