Thyroid Clinic
  • Up to 54 of patients diagnosed with
    hypothyroidism complained of weight gain as the
    presenting complaint. Because the Basal Metabolic
    Rate(BMR) in the patient with hypothyroidism is
    decreased, an underactive thyroid is generally
    associated with some weight gain. The weight gain
    is often greater in those individuals with a more
    severe hypothyroidism.

  • Most of the extra weight gained in hypothyroid
    individuals is due to excess accumulation of salt
    and water. Massive weight gain is rarely
    associated with hypothyroidism. In general, 2.5
    to 5 Kilograms of body weight may be attributable
    to the thyroid, depending on the severity of the
    hypothyroidism. Finally, if weight gain is the
    only symptom of hypothyroidism that is present,
    it is less likely that the weight gain is solely
    due to thyroid.

  • When the hypothyroidism is treated you can expect
    a small (usually less than 10 of body weight)
    weight loss. Thyroid hormones have been used as a
    weight loss tool in the past. Many studies have
    shown that excess thyroid hormone treatment can
    help produce more weight loss than can be
    achieved by dieting alone. However, once the
    excess thyroid hormone is stopped, the excess
    weight loss is usually regained.
