A member asked:

Can a edocrinologist determine the underlying cause of my hypothyroidism by blood work or other tests?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroid causes: If you are hypothyroid, blood tests may show evidence of hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is probably what you have if you are 38 and hypothyroid. But what will you do with the information? Regardless of the cause, you need treatment with levothyroxine.
