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 Variable high cholesterol less than thyroxine [CNA] Taipei Municipal Chung Hsiao Hospital United Christian Hospital District Branch Dr. Zhuang Meixing family said that according to clinical investigation of high levels of the elderly, hypothyroidism ratio of nearly 4 percent, if not symptomatic treatment, always eat the cholesterol-lowering No effective drugs, high cholesterol recommendations of the public should also check thyroid function.
