    The Achilles reflex time correlates with thyroid function in hypothyroidism. This reflex time recovery lags behind clinical and biochemical improvements during treatment, suggesting its use as an additional assessment tool.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Hypothyroidism affects thyroid hormone levels and can impact neuromuscular function.
    • The Achilles reflex is a sensitive indicator of thyroid status.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between Achilles reflex time and thyroid function biochemical markers in hypothyroidism.
    • To assess the utility of Achilles reflex time in monitoring treatment response.

    Main Methods:

    • Established correlation between Achilles reflex time and thyroid function tests (total thyroxine, triiodothyronine, T4-binding capacity, basal TTH).
    • Monitored reflex time during substitution therapy in patients with hypothyroidism.

    Main Results:

    • A significant correlation was found between Achilles reflex time and thyroid biochemical parameters in hypothyroidism.

  • Achilles reflex time recovery was slower than clinical and biochemical normalization during therapy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Achilles reflex time is a valuable indicator of hypothyroidism severity.
    • Reflex time can serve as an additional criterion for evaluating treatment efficacy in hypothyroidism.
