A 67 year old woman is referred for treatment of hyperlipidemia. Her cholesterol and triglycerides are high, despite treatment with lipid-lowering medication. She is noted to have hair loss (wearing a wig) and hoarse to her voice. she complains of cold intolerance and fatigue.
1. What testing would be helpful to screen for thyroid disease?
2. what treatment might she require?
3. What other laboratory abnormalities are commonly seen hypothyroid patients other than hyperlipidemia and abnormal thyroid function tests?
