Description
Summary:We have studied the quality of life parameters during thyroxine replacement therapy and combination therapy with thyroxine and triiodothyronine in patients with postoperative hypothyroidism due to total thyroidectomy. Reduced quality of life is a condition characteristic of the majority of patients underwent surgery for thyroid pathology. Combination therapy with thyroxine and triiodothyronine ensures a significantly higher quality of life in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for Grave’s disease.
