Endocrine Disorders: Evaluation and Management
Summary
- Thyroid function testing is appropriate for the diagnosis of thyroid disorders among patients with thyroid-related symptoms as well as nonspecific systemic symptoms
- Screening in older patients may be justified by the high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and the potential benefit of levothyroxine therapy (Management Guidelines)[Subclinical Thyroid Guidelines]
- Routine screening of HIV-infected individuals is not recommended, although aggressive case-finding in patients with signs and symptoms potentially attributable to thyroid disease is reasonable
