Detection of Celiac Disease in Patients With Hypothyroidism

Completed

Conditions studied: Celiac Disease, Hypothyroidism, Celiac Sprue, Malabsorption

In brief

The study evaluates whether hypothyroid patients requiring elevated doses of levothyroxine to maintain a euthyroid state are at increased risk of having celiac disease. It also attempts to determine if there is a threshold level of levothyroxine needed to maintain a euthyroid state in patients with hypothyroidism that should prompt serologic testing for celiac disease.
