Regina Castro, M.D., presents the discussion around treating subclinical hypothyroidism, thyroid extract and how to differentiate common symptoms from nonthyroid causes. Dr. Castro covers nodules, fine-needle aspirates, the sensitive TSH test, total T4, free T4 and TPO antibodies, and the role of lab testing in diagnosis.
