ABSTRACT

La enfermedad no tiroidea es una entidad que se presenta frecuentemente en los pacientes que se encuentran cursando algún tipo de enfermedad, ya sea crítica o no; y puede manifestarse aun en ausencia de enfermedad tiroidea subyacente, condicionando cambios en el eje tiroideo. Es importante poder reconocer la enfermedad no tiroidea para hacer diagnóstico diferencial con la patología tiroidea verdadera y evaluar si merece ser tratada. Aún no existe consenso acerca de si la enfermedad no tiroidea representa una respuesta fisiológica a una enfermedad sistémica para que disminuyan los requerimientos de energía o si se trata de una condición adaptativa que induce un estado hipotiroideo que finalmente resulta perjudicial a nivel tisular.


Non-thyroidal illness is a disorder that occurs frequently in patients that are experiencing some kind of illness, whether critical or not. It can manifest even in the absence of thyroid dysfunction, leading to changes in the thyroid axis. It is important to detect Non-Thyroidal Illness in order to establish a differential diagnosis with the true thyroid disease and to determine whether treatment is required. Currently, there is still no consensus on whether Non-Thyroidal Illness is a physiological response to a systemic disease to reduce energy requirements or whether it is an adaptive condition that induces a hypothyroid state that ultimately is harmful at the tissue level.
