Article Synopsis
- Treating hypothyroidism is complicated for patients with malabsorption, often requiring higher doses of oral levothyroxine (L-T4) due to impaired absorption.
- A case is presented of a young man with myxedema after undergoing biliopancreatic diversion surgery, showing severe hypothyroidism symptoms and requiring intravenous treatments.
- The case highlights the importance of monitoring Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels more frequently in post-bariatric surgery patients and suggests that liquid forms of L-T4 may be more effective than tablets in these cases.
