Thyroid status and serum cholesterol levels are intimately linked. Hypothyroidism causes hypercholesterolaemia, which is thought to be resolved after treatment with levothyroxine and normalization of thyroid-stimulating hormone. However, some studies indicate that hypercholesterolaemia persists despite treatment, requiring more frequent use of statins.

左旋甲状腺素治疗和甲状腺功能减退症中的胆固醇。

甲状腺状态和血清胆固醇水平密切相关。甲状腺功能减退症会导致高胆固醇血症，这种情况被认为在左旋甲状腺素治疗和促甲状腺激素恢复正常后可以得到解决。然而，一些研究表明，尽管进行了治疗，高胆固醇血症仍然存在，需要更频繁地使用他汀类药物。
