Overview
In euthyroid sick syndrome emphasis is on rapid correction of underlying disease. Many seriously ill patients have low levels of thyroid hormones but are not clinically hypothyroid and do not require thyroid hormone supplementation. Replacement of thyroid hormones in euthyroid sick syndrome is controversial except, in patients of congestive heart failure where liothyronine (LT3) or levothyroxine (LT4) may be recommended, to improve ventricular performance. Therefore, thyroid hormone therapy is generally not recommended for patients with euthyroid sick syndrome, except possibly those with chronic heart failure.
Medical Therapy
In euthyroid sick syndrome emphasis is on rapid correction of underlying disease. Many seriously ill patients have low levels of thyroid hormones but are not clinically hypothyroid and do not require thyroid hormone supplementation. Replacement of thyroid hormones in euthyroid sick syndrome is controversial except, in patients of congestive heart failure where liothyronine (LT3) or levothyroxine (LT4) may be recommended, to improve ventricular performance. Therefore, thyroid hormone therapy is generally not recommended for patients with euthyroid sick syndrome, except possibly those with chronic heart failure.[1][2][3]
