This trial tests whether taking a thyroid hormone supplement helps people who are on hemodialysis and have borderline-high thyroid lab results (high TSH but normal FT4). It’s studying whether treatment changes thyroid-related outcomes or health while on dialysis.
This study looks at whether it is safe to stop taking a low dose of levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone pill) in people aged 65 and older who have a mildly underactive thyroid. If you have been on this medication for at least 6 months, you may be able to help doctors learn if stopping the pill is a good option.
This study tests a new way of providing thyroid hormone therapy for people who still feel tired and other bothersome symptoms despite currently taking a standard thyroid pill (levothyroxine). It combines two types of thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) to see if it better relieves symptoms than the usual treatment.
