Question
Can hypothyroidism link to high cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, hypothyroidism is a secondary cause of high cholesterol levels. The effect of hypothyroidism on lipid metabolism occurs through several different mechanisms due to low T4 and T3 and to the elevation of TSH directly.
