Гипотиреоз — одно из наиболее распространенных эндокринных заболеваний. Более 99% всех случаев гипотиреоза у взрослых приходится на первичный гипотиреоз. Наиболее часто гипотиреоз развивается вследствие хронического аутоиммунного тиреоидита, а также после медицинских манипуляций (ятрогенный гипотиреоз) — послеоперационный или в исходе терапии радиоактивным йодом. В статье представлен проект клинических рекомендаций по диагностике, лечению гипотиреоза в разных группах пациентов, включая беременных женщин.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine diseases. More than 99% of all cases of hypothyroidism in adults are due to primary hypothyroidism. Most often, hypothyroidism develops because of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, as well as after medical manipulations (iatrogenic hypothyroidism) — postoperative or as a result of therapy with radioactive iodine. The article presents a draft of clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism in different groups of patients, including pregnant women.
