The study evaluates whether hypothyroid patients requiring elevated doses of levothyroxine
to maintain a euthyroid state are at increased risk of having celiac disease. It also
attempts to determine if there is a threshold level of levothyroxine needed to maintain a
euthyroid state in patients with hypothyroidism that should prompt serologic testing for
celiac disease.
