Objective: To examine direct and indirect economic burden associated with hypothyroidism in the United States.
Methods: Medical costs attributable to hypothyroidism were estimated for patients with hypothyroidism. Non-hypothyroid (euthyroid) controls were matched to patients with hypothyroidism based upon patient characteristics and availability of productivity data.
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be associated with overt or subclinical hypothyroidism [SCH; defined as elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) despite normal free thyroxine levels). Although some studies have demonstrated that thyroid replacement therapy may improve renal function in overt hypothyroidism, there is no consensus on its benefits in SCH. Clinical and limited economic outcomes were evaluated in levothyroxine-treated US veterans with CKD + SCH.

Background: Cortisol resistance syndrome is a very rare condition characterized by high cortisol levels, but without any clinical features of Cushing's syndrome. Our objective is to present such a case.
Case Presentation: A 41 year old female presented with mild hirsutism and elevated urinary cortisol levels.
Objective: The objective of this analysis was to compare adherence at 6 months and 12 months across levothyroxine formulations for patients with hypothyroidism.
Methods: This retrospective analysis utilized insurance claims data from a commercially insured population from January 1, 2000 through March 31, 2016. Patients were included if they were diagnosed with hypothyroidism and initiated treatment with generic levothyroxine, Levoxyl, Synthroid, Unithroid, or Tirosint.
