RESUMEN
La prevalencia de alteraciones endocrinológicas, generalmente de origen autoinmune, es muy elevada en las personas con síndrome de Down. Por ello, durante toda la vida se debe vigilar la función tiroidea. Es especialmente frecuente el hipotiroidismo, especialmente en su forma subclínica. La delgada línea que separa el hipotiroidismo subclínico del verdadero hace difícil la indicación terapéutica. También la diabetes es más frecuente que en la población general, ocasionalmente asociada a hipotiroidismo (AU)
ABSTRACT
The prevalence of endocrine disorders, generally of autoimmune origin, is very high in persons with Downs syndrome. Therefore, the thyroid function should be monitored during the entire lifetime. Hypothyroidism, particularly the subclinical form, is especially common. The thin line separating subclinical hypothyroidism from true hypothyroidism makes the therapeutic indication difficult. Diabetes is also more frequent than in the general population, occasionally associated to hypothyroidism (AU)
