[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 182226, member: 3"] Between 30% and 50% of hypothyroid patients with persistent symptoms despite adequate levothyroxine therapy may have covert iron deficiency, findings from a small study suggest. The findings cast “a dark shadow of doubt on the validity of the studies on the effect of T3 therapy in these patients,” Dr. Esa Soppi reported in a poster at the International Thyroid Congress. Study subjects were women with a history of overt hypothyroidism who had persistent symptoms after appropriate and ongoing treatment with L-T4. L-T4 dosing was adjusted as necessary to achieve a thyroid-stimulating hormone concentration of 1-2 mU/L, and diabetes, B12-vitamin deficiency, celiac disease, hypercalcemia, and vitamin D deficiency were ruled out as causes for the persistent symptoms.
