Associated Disease Details
Disease ID: | I04 |
DO ID: | 1459 |
Disease Name: | Hypothyroidism |
Definition: | A thyroid gland disease which involves an underproduction of thyroid hormone. https://medlineplus.gov/hypothyroidism.html |
Synonyms: | Congenital Hypothyroidism; Thyroid deficiency; Thyroid insufficiency |
Class: | disease of anatomical entity/ endocrine system disease/ thyroid gland disease |
Related Drugs: | Levothyroxine |
Mechanism: | Thyroid hormones control lipid metabolism by exhibiting specific effects on the liver and adipose tissue in a coordinated manner. Different diseases of the thyroid gland can result in hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is frequently associated with dyslipidemia. Hypothyroidism-associated dyslipidemia subsequently results in intrahepatic accumulation of fat, leading to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which leads to the development of hepatic insulin resistance. |
