Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of modern diagnostic methods of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is characterized by insufficient production of thyroid hormones, leading to a slowdown of metabolic processes in the body. The study examines clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnostic methods including the measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine levels, as well as instrumental approaches such as ultrasound examination. Particular attention is given to the importance of early diagnosis and the advantages of modern diagnostic strategies in improving patient outcomes.
