Atypical clinical forms of hypothyroidism
Difficulties in recognizing hypothyroidism are amplified many times when the disease proceeds in unusual (non-classical) forms. 1.Hypertension in hypothyroidism. Hypertension is detected in 10-30% of patients with hypothyroidism. Its genesis is explained by vessel sensitization to endogenous
