The relevance of the problem of hypothyroidism in the clinical practice of doctors of all specialties is not necessary. Hypothyroidism is one of the most common diseases of the endocrine system. According to some epidemiological studies, in certain population groups the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism reaches 10-12% [16]. In the last decade, a large number of works on the problem of hypothyroidism have appeared, which have transformed our views on the entire pathology of the thyroid gland (thyroid gland). This is primarily due to the introduction of modern thyroid hormone preparations into clinical practice.
