Comments on the 2018 European Thyroid Association Guidelines for the management of amiodarone-associated thyroid dysfunction

Yu.V. Buldyhina, H.М. Terekhova, V.I. Pankiv

Abstract


In this article, the authors described and commented the main provisions of the new guidelines for the examination and treatment of patients with amiodarone-associated thyroid dysfunction. Their text is divided thematically into subdivisions (clinical studies, diagnosis, approaches to the management). At the same time, the text with references is presented first that followed by guidelines, which are given according to the level of evidence.
