Guest: M. Regina Castro, M.D.
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)
What do you do when a patient presents with subclinical hypothyroidism? When do you treat and how do you treat? Dr. Regina Castro presents the discussion around treating subclinical hypothyroidism, thyroid extract, and how to differentiate common symptoms from non-thyroid causes. Dr. Castro covers nodules, fine needle aspirates, the Sensitive TSH test, Total T4, Free T4, and TPO antibodies, and the role of lab testing in diagnosis.
