Myxedema Secondary to Levothyroxine Malabsorption in Newly Diagnosed Celiac Disease.

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects the small intestine and is related to antibodies created against gluten when the substance is ingested. It is uncommon comorbidity in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Myxedema is a severe form of hypothyroidism that is commonly related to new diagnoses, medication non-compliance, or malabsorption of thyroid supplementation that can have life-threatening associated conditions like heart failure and coma. In this article, we will describe a case of myxedema secondary to levothyroxine malabsorption in the setting of a newly diagnosed CD.
