Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction and a perturbed N-desethyl-amiodarone to amiodarone ratio: could a drug-induced toxicity be regulating exposure to the offending agent?

    Research output: Contribution to journalLetterpeer-review

    Abstract

    We read with interest the recent paper of Yamato et al. [1] describing differences in the N-desethyl-amiodarone (DEA) to amiodarone (AMD) ratio in patients with thyroid dysfunction, based on laboratory data, vs. euthyroid patients during AMD treatment.
