5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis and impaired well-being may have a partial secondary adrenocortical insufficiency.
Detailed Description
Many patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis who are correctly substituted with thyroid hormones have an impaired well-being. in some people an isolated ACTH deficiency was found.
In this study a 1 µg ACTH test is performed to evaluate the adrenocortical function.
