This study gives an evidence-based levothyroxine dose recommendation for the treatment of autoimmune thyroiditis induced hypothyroidism in children and adolescents. So far, there did not exist any dosage recommendations in the current national pediatric guidelines. In comparison to patients with congenital hypothyroidism the required levothyroxine dose was significantly lower. Over more than one year 115 patients were examined in the outpatient clinic and the data was analyzed retro- and prospectively.
