Typically, the more severe the hypothyroidism, the greater the weight gain, but usually it's between 5 and 10 pounds. Somewhere between 10% and 60% adults with obesity also have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Some studies have concluded that even mild hypothyroidism can lead to weight gain and changes in one's BMI.Web

It seems that for pharmacokinetic and other reasons, different levels of thyroid hormones (and possibly TSH levels) may be optimal in different circumstances of thyroid replacement [8, 10]. The use of thyroid hormone levels to assess the peripheral thyroid state may be a secondary consideration in the monitoring of thyroid …Web

Introduction. Following total thyroidectomy, optimal replacement of thyroid hormone is imperative, yet often challenging to achieve. Suppressive doses of levothyroxine increase the risks of accelerated bone loss, fractures, arrhythmias, and decreased left ventricular function (1–4).Prolonged periods of under treatment are associated with the clinical …Web

Optimal thyroid hormone replacement in these patients remains unclear. We report the levothyroxine (LT4) dose needed to achieve stable euthyroid state in patients with hypothyroidism from ICI-associated thyroiditis, with comparison to patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and athyreotic state.Web

The aim of replacement therapy of primary hypothyroidism is to render euthyroid through normalization of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. Patients with overt hypothyroidism usually require a full replacement dose of oral LT4 1.6–1.8 mcg/kg actual body weight (BW)/day to attain an euthyroid state [1], [2], [3].Web

It's usually based on the results of blood tests. The first blood test typically done to diagnose hypothyroidism measures the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood. If it's high, the test is done again, along with a blood test for the thyroid hormone T-4. If the results show that TSH is high and T-4 is low, then the diagnosis ...Web

It would appear reasonable to mimic these levels if trying to appropriately replace thyroid hormones, particularly as there are few biomarkers which reliably suggest complete thyroid hormone replacement.
