甲狀腺素不足 膽固醇變高 【中央社】台北市立聯合醫院忠孝院區家庭科主治醫師莊美幸表示，根據臨床的調查，膽固醇偏高的老人之中，甲狀腺功能低下比率近4%，如果沒對症治療，一味吃降膽固醇的藥並沒有效，建議有膽固醇過高的民眾，也應檢查甲狀腺功能。 莊美幸說，有位六十多歲女士，十多年前檢驗總膽固醇高達三百毫克以上，聽從醫師及營養師建議，積極控制飲食與運動，只稍微降低，後來吃藥有進步，不過，一旦停藥後，膽固醇很快又高了起來。 莊美幸表示，直到一年前，這位女士參加台北市老人健康檢查，醫師告訴她有甲狀腺素不足現象，經過適當治療以後，不但精神變好，膽固醇也恢復至正常，原來她的膽固醇偏高，是因為甲狀腺功能低下引起。 莊美幸指出，甲狀腺素是一種荷爾蒙，會影響人體新陳代謝、發育與生長，甲狀腺素分泌不足時，會感覺疲倦、怕冷、皮膚乾燥、指甲變脆、肌肉關節疼痛、便秘、膽固醇升高等症狀。 她表示，來常見甲狀腺功能低下是因為慢性自體免疫甲狀腺炎，或是曾經手術切除甲狀腺，或是接受過放射線碘治療後，所產生甲狀腺功能低下。 莊美幸說，高膽固醇病患，短期間內可能沒有任何症狀，但是如果長期不治療，卻可以導致心臟冠狀動脈疾病，引起心絞痛、心肌梗塞等疾病。 2008-09-15 Lack of thyroid hormone changes of high cholesterol Central News Agency】 【Taipei Municipal Chung Hsiao Hospital of the Joint District Court Family Division, said Yoshiyuki Zhuang attending physician, according to the clinical investigation of high cholesterol in the elderly, hypothyroidism rate of nearly 4 percent, if not symptomatic treatment, just to eat the cholesterol-lowering Drugs have not suggested there is too much cholesterol, people should also check thyroid function.
