Abstract
Amiodarone treatment affects thyroid status in about the half of patients. Amiodarone causes a wide spectrum of effects on the thyroid function including hypothyroidism and thyreotoxicosis. Amiodaron-induced thyroid dysfunction is the most reason for discontinuation of amiodaron therapy. In this report we describe amiodaron-induced thyroid dysfunction and the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in such patients.
