My article was published in Nature review! My struggle to get accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for hypothyroidism: https://t.co/mOGE70Jg8w

Look at these new and exciting findings! Some areas of the brain (e.g., the cerebellum) in LT4-treated mice remain hypothyroid even after TSH levels have normalized. Could this contribute to the brain fog reported by many patients on LT4?

The study is out: “Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism: an Analysis of Eleven Randomized Controlled Trials” https://t.co/W8Guov9ZA1

@Bianco_Lab Congratulations!!! Can’t wait to read it

[Antonio C Bianco @Bianco_Lab]

The chart indicates the preference for each therapy assessed in a meta-analysis of 11 RCTs involving 1,135 patients soon to be published in the JCEM. These data should inform shared decision-making in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Kudos to all involved!

[Brittany Henderson MD @DrHendersonMD]

@Bianco_Lab Congratulations!

[Antonio C Bianco @Bianco_Lab]

A concise summary of the debate: Clinical trial data shows that combination therapy is safe and effective. Most patients prefer combination therapy over LT4 alone, and some can only find symptom relief with LT4+LT3. This info should be shared with both physicians and patients.

@Bianco_Lab Rooting for you!!!!!

[Antonio C Bianco @Bianco_Lab]

If you are attending the ENDO2024 in Boston, tomorrow there will be a debate on using T3 to treat hypothyroidism. Dr. Simon Pearce will speak "against it" and I will speak "in favor" of it. Stop by if you can. It should be interesting. https://t.co/eJeMxRF8QA #ENDO2024

@Bianco_Lab @albaugh_er @campaign_itt @FrontEndocrinol I agree. Assessing peripheral conversion is half (if not more) or the story!

#WednesdayWisdom Hashimoto's patients can develop early menopause. It is also possible for thyroid abnormalities to worsen hot flashes and propel you on an emotional rollercoaster. The fluctuation in estrogen levels can even affect thyroid medication.
