The enigma of persistent symptoms in hypothyroid patients treated with levothyroxine: A narrative review

Petros Perros et al.

Summary: A significant minority of patients with hypothyroidism continue to experience symptoms despite normal thyroid biochemistry, and this can be attributed to imperfections in treatment methods, coexistence with somatic symptom and related disorders, autoimmune neuroinflammation, and comorbidities and psychosocial factors. Currently, there is a bias towards pursuing answers related to combination treatment of levothyroxine and liothyronine, while other explanations have been neglected.

Primary hypothyroidism and quality of life

Laszlo Hegedus et al.

Summary: The treatment of hypothyroidism has not seen major innovations since the 1970s when thyroid extract was replaced by levothyroxine. The definition of subclinical hypothyroidism is debated and indiscriminate screening has led to overdiagnosis and treatment initiation at lower TSH levels. While levothyroxine substitution can improve quality of life, it may not always normalize it, especially for individuals with mild hypothyroidism.

New Formulations of Levothyroxine in the Treatment of Hypothyroidism: Trick or Treat?

Endre Nagy et al.

Summary: New LT4 formulations may be more suitable for patients with disease fluctuations and intermittent therapies with interfering medications, potentially reducing the need for frequent dose adjustments and office visits compared to traditional LT4 tablets. However, the therapeutic equivalence of these new formulations in different clinical settings remains unclear, and further research is needed to explore their potential benefits and cost-effectiveness.

Evidence-Based Use of Levothyroxine/Liothyronine Combinations in Treating Hypothyroidism: A Consensus Document

Jacqueline Jonklaas et al.

Summary: This article reviews the lack of consistent benefits shown in 14 clinical trials of combination therapy with LT4 and LT3, and the continued interest in this area among patients and physicians. Recent scientific developments may provide insights into this inconsistency and guide future studies.

Tomasz Bednarczuk et al.

Summary: The majority of Polish physicians prescribe thyroid hormones for euthyroid patients for certain indications, and some may consider using LT4+LT3 combination therapy when symptoms persist. Certain areas of clinical practice, such as the use of thyroid hormones in euthyroid subjects, do not align with current evidence.

Mohamed K. M. Shakir et al.

Summary: Overall, there was no consistent superiority observed between DTE, LT4+T3, and LT4 in treating hypothyroid patients. However, the most symptomatic patients on LT4 showed a preference for and positive response to therapy with LT4+T3 or DTE, as evidenced by improvements in various outcome measures.
