topicSelenium Immune Randomized Trial
claimChronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT), a common autoimmune thyroid disorder, is the leading cause of hypothyroidism in iodine-sufficient regions and is characterized by thyroid autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, and progressive structural thyroid changes.

topicSelenium Immune Randomized Trial
claimAlthough levothyroxine (LT4) restores biochemical euthyroidism, it does not directly address the underlying autoimmune process, highlighting the need for adjunctive therapeutic strategies.
