'Low T3 syndrome' in patients chronically treated with an iodine-containing drug, amiodarone.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IH) require variable doses of calcium and 1-α-(OH)D. The reasons for such variability are not clear. As autoimmune mechanisms may play a role in IH, there is a possibility of coexistent coeliac disease with calcium/vitamin D malabsorption. OBJECTIVE:We assessed t...
