Hypothyroidism is a disease characterized by thyroid hormone deficiency, with a global prevalence that varies based on iodine intake. It is particularly common among women and older adults. The review highlights that untreated hypothyroidism can lead to serious health issues, including heart failure and myxedema coma. The primary cause in many cases is Hashimoto thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition. The document also addresses the risks associated with both overtreatment and undertreatment of thyroid hormone therapy.
