Thyroid disorders

What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism? Are some persons at a higher risk of thyroid disorders than others?

This week, the MIMS Learning editors discuss symptoms and risk factors for various thyroid disorders, the physiology of the thyroid gland, and how to interpret thyroid function tests. They also discuss NICE guidelines on management, as well as the latest consensus statement by the British Thyroid Association and the Society for Endocrinology on treatment for hypothyroidism.

After listening to this module, healthcare professionals should be more aware of symptoms, risk factors, and management of thyroid disease.
