摘要：

Overtreatment of hypothyroidism is particularly hazardous in older patients, who are often maintained on less than half the amount of replacement hormone required by younger patients. With the current sensitive assays for TSH, the goal is to reduce TSH to the normal but not to the suppressed range. For hyperthyroidism, prompt treatment with radioactive iodine is indicated.
