A member asked:
At approximately what percent below average does the metabolism operate for a 25 year old female with severe hypothyroidism?

Replacement?: The simple answer is if you are on the correct dose of thyroid replacement probably none. Your blood test for TSH will determine if you are in "balance".

Severity is CLINICAL: The severity of hypothyroidism is based upon clinical criteria not by way of approximating the percentage of the overall metabolism.
