Symptomatic Subclinical Hypothyroidism Treated with Homoeopathy: Case Reports

Abstract: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a condition where serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level is high, but the T3 and T4 are within normal level. SCH carries a risk of cardiovascular diseases or progression to overt hypothyroidism. Treatment becomes more necessary in case of older age groups and in females. Two cases of SCH treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine are presented and the improvement was significant showing reduction in the TSH levels with overall improvement in health.

“…High dosage often leads to adverse cardiac dysfunction, neuropsychiatric illness like anxiety and insomnia, Gastrointestinal disorders and dermatological manifestations [8] . In a study, 2 cases of symptomatic SCH shows the improvement in reduction of TSH levels and overall health was treated with Individualized Homoeopathic medicines [9] . In a case report the author says about the constitutional treatment of SCH in Homoeopathy with Lachesis mutus 200c [10] .…”

“…In the young age thyroid problems are latent stage or asymptomatic & Symptoms come out according to their age increased. Probable cause of elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone/SCH are Autoimmune (Hashimoto) thyroiditis, Suboptimal treatment of overt hypothyroidism, Partial thyroidectomy, Radioactive iodine ablation, External beam radiation of head and neck, Infiltrative diseases of the thyroid (amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, Riedel thyroiditis, scleroderma), Drugs, iodine contrast, amiodarone, lithium, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (sunitinib, sorafenib), interferon alpha, or immune response modulators (ipilimumab, alemtuzumab, pembrolizumab), Iodine deficiency, Excess iodine, Thyroid dysgenesis [6,7,8,9] . Diurnal variation, Recovery phase of euthyroid sick syndrome, Recovery phase of subacute, painless, or postpartum thyroiditis this are the physiological cause & others are Assay variability, Substances that interfere with TSH assays (heterophile antibodies, rheumatoid factor, biotin, macro-TSH or abnormal TSH isoforms), Central hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, Thyroid hormone resistance, Impaired renal function, Adrenal insufficiency, Obesity, Older age etc [10,11,12,13,14] .…”
