Levothyroxine dose adjustment in hypothyroid patients following gastric sleeve surgery.

CONCLUSION: Despite a decrease in daily levothyroxine dose correlating with weight loss at 12 months, the absence of correlation with weight-adjusted dose suggests the involvement of confounding factors such as poor drug absorption or altered thyroid function. Further studies are required to elucidate the absorption of levothyroxine. PMID: 32445637 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
