Objective: To assess the certain clinical features and causes of misdiagnosis and the relative issues in the treatment of hypothyroidism in senile. Methods: The data of 60 cases of hypothyroidism in senile were analysed retrospectively. Result: Symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism were atypical in senile, so hypothyroidism was prone to be misdiagnosed in senile. There were 36 cases (60%) of hypothyroidism misdiagnosed in senile, 8 for coronary heart disease, 5 for acute myocardiac infarct, 5 for liver cirrhosis, 4 for nephropathy syndrome, 3 for aplastic anemia, 3 for idiopathic edema, 3 for intestinal obstruction, 3 for diabetes mellitus, and 2 for idiot. Conclusions: Being alert for the presence of hypothyroidism and carrying on some necessary determinations of thyroid function combined with clinical manifestations is the key to improve the diagnostic rate in senile.
