In the course of this article, therefore, we will analyze the therapeutic strategies implemented to ensure the maintenance of the condition of euthyroidism in patients suffering from thyroid diseases and dysfunctions of various types.

thyroid - triiodothyronine or T3 and thyroxine or T4 - are present in normal and physiological concentrations (for more detailed information on thyroid values, consult the dedicated article: Thyroid Blood Tests).
