Abstract

This paper folows on the previous article and describes the consequences of thyroid dysfunction in other medical branches. When treating celiac disease gastroenterologists should look for coincidentile hypothyreosis, which may also be associated with atrophic gastritis.

Treatment by proton pump blockers may influence resorbtion of levothroxin. Heart disease problems in patients with thyreopathy is well known, yet further diagnostic methods may probably reveal even more nuanced heart complications in sublinical cases.
