Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Care at Thyroid Care Kenya
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, often leading to hypothyroidism. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, and dry skin.
Our Approach to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis:
-
Comprehensive Testing: TSH, Free T4, and thyroid antibody tests (TPOAb and TgAb).
-
Symptom Management: Thyroid hormone replacement therapy to restore normal hormone levels.
-
Holistic Care: Diet and lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and support thyroid health.
-
Monitoring for Complications: Close follow-up for other potential autoimmune conditions.
What Sets Our Care Apart
We go beyond standard thyroiditis care by integrating advanced diagnostic and management techniques to ensure comprehensive, personalized treatment for our patients:
​​
Routine Thyroid Ultrasound: Every consultation includes a thyroid ultrasound to monitor gland size, detect inflammation, and identify thyroid nodules, which are often undiagnosed in hypothyroid patients. Studies show that over 60% of individuals with hypothyroidism have nodules, and our proactive approach ensures early detection and effective management.
Weight Management
Expert Weight Management: We address weight gain, a common concern in hypothyroidism, using internationally recognized weight management protocols. Our services include tailored nutritional planning, medication options such as Semaglutide and Mounjaro, and coordination for advanced therapies like bariatric surgery and gastric balloon procedures. Our team monitors progress closely to help you achieve and maintain your health goals.
