Article Synopsis
- A low serum TSH level is known to predict hyperthyroidism, but the impact of statin use on this relationship was unclear.
- A study involving 307 patients revealed that those on statins had a significantly higher rate of normal radioiodine scans (55%) compared to those not on statins (16%).
- This suggests that statins may either mask true hyperthyroidism or potentially improve thyroid function in patients who are hyperthyroid, indicating a need for further investigation on the effects of statins on thyroid health.
