abstract: |-
  Hypothyroidism, or myxedema, is the clinical syndrome that
  results from decreased production of T4 and T3.Most
  patients have primary hypothyroidism .The etiology of adult
  primary hypothyroidism includes autoimmune
  hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), post – ablation
  after radio-active iodine, thyroid surgery and drugs such as
  Amiodarone and Lithium. Manifestations are variable and
  proportionate to the degree and duration of thyroid hormone
  deficiency as well as age of onset. The presence of goiter is
  common in younger patients (Hashimoto’s) but often absent
  in the elderly. Clinical features of hypothyroidism are
  insidious and often missed, particularly in the elderly.
