  • Title: Hypothyroidism: mimicker of common complaints.
    Author: Tews MC, Shah SM, Gossain VV.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 2005 Aug; 23(3):649-67, vii. PubMed ID: 15982539.
    Abstract:
    Hypothyroidism is a common condition presenting a challenge to emergency physicians in diagnosing the underlying etiology of vague complaints. Making the diagnosis of a critically ill patient in myxedema coma allows early treatment with appropriate thyroid hormone replacement and avoids higher patient mortality. To do this, the emergency physician must maintain a high degree of clinical suspicion for thyroid disease.
