N2 - Acquired hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disease in paediatric patients and in iodine-replete areas mainly due to autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). Symptoms of hypothyroidism are unspecific and insidious for which reason thyroid function tests are often part of a general paediatric assessment. Consequently, only few patients present with pronounced symptoms which include a stunted growth pattern and multiorgan involvement when most extreme. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on this common endocrinopathy in childhood.
