Scope note: Síndrome resultante de la secreción anormalmente baja de HORMONAS TIROIDEAS por la GLÁNDULA TIROIDES, lo que conlleva una disminución del METABOLISMO BASAL. En su forma más grave se acompaña de MIXEDEMA, que consiste en la presencia de EDEMA y acumulación de MUCOPOLISACÁRIDOS en la PIEL. Puede ser primario o secundario, derivado de otra enfermedad hipofisaria o de una disfunción hipotalámica.

Scope note: A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
