Actually the diagnosis itself is a misnomer. It is not mentioned in so many Text Books. But somehow it is going on , because Laboratory reports mention it in a footnote .
Now it has been proved by surveys among Thyroid patients that the longest duration of treatment for Thyroid diseases is for those who have been labelled as "Subclinical hypothyroidism". No doctor wants to stop it .
