The Role of Thyroid Hormone in Blood Pressure Homeostasis: Evidence from Short-Term Hypothyroidism in Humans
Open accessAbstract
Arterial hypertension is known to be frequently associated with thyroid dysfunction, with a particularly high prevalence in chronic hypothyroidism. However, to our knowledge no comprehensive study addressed causal mechanisms possibly involved in this association. We here report the physiological relationships between blood pressure and neuro-humoral modifications induced by acute hypothyroidism in normotensive subjects. Twelve normotensive patients with previous total thyroidectomy were studied. Ambulatory 24-h blood pressure monitoring was performed, and free T3, free T4, TSH, PRA, aldosterone, cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline were assayed 6 wk after oral l-T4 withdrawal (phase 1) and 2 months after resumption of treatment (phase 2). During the hypothyroid state (TSH, 68.1 ± 27.7 μIU/ml; mean ± sd), daytime arterial systolic levels slightly, but significantly, increased (125.5 ± 9.7 vs. 120.4 ± 10.8 mm Hg; P < 0.05), and daytime diastolic levels (84.6 ± 7.9 vs. 76.4 ± 6.8 mm Hg; P < 0.001), noradrenaline (2954 ± 1578 vs. 1574 ± 962 pmol/liter; P < 0.001), and adrenaline (228.4 ± 160 vs. 111.3 ± 46.1 pmol/liter; P < 0.05) also increased. PRA remained unchanged (0.49 ± 0.37 vs. 0.35 ± 0.21 ng/ml·h; P = NS), whereas both aldosterone (310.3 ± 151 vs. 156.9 ± 67.5 pmol/liter; P < 0.005) and cortisol (409.2 ± 239 vs. 250.9 ± 113 pmol/liter; P < 0.02) significantly increased. By using univariate logistic regression daytime arterial diastolic values, noradrenaline and aldosterone were found to be significantly related to the hypothyroid state (P < 0.02, P < 0.036, and P < 0.024, respectively). In conclusion, our data show that thyroid hormones participate in the control of systemic arterial blood pressure homeostasis in normotensive subjects. The observed sympathetic and adrenal activation in hypothyroidism, which is reversible with thyroid hormone treatment, may also contribute to the development of arterial hypertension in human hypothyroidism.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In 12 normotensive patients after total thyroidectomy, short-term L-T4 withdrawal-induced hypothyroidism raised daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressure and increased noradrenaline, adrenaline, aldosterone, and cortisol, while PRA did not change. These changes reversed with L-T4 replacement, suggesting thyroid hormone contributes to blood pressure homeostasis and that sympatho-adrenal activation may contribute to hypothyroid hypertension.
Key findings
- During hypothyroidism (TSH 68.1 ± 27.7 IU/ml), daytime systolic BP increased from 120.4 ± 10.8 to 125.5 ± 9.7 mm Hg (P < 0.05) and daytime diastolic BP increased from 76.4 ± 6.8 to 84.6 ± 7.9 mm Hg (P < 0.001); nighttime BP changes were not significant.
- Noradrenaline rose from 1574 ± 977 to 2954 ± 1578 pmol/liter (P = 0.001), adrenaline from 111.3 ± 46.1 to 228.6 ± 159.6 pmol/liter (P = 0.05), aldosterone from 156.8 ± 67.4 to 310.3 ± 151.3 pmol/liter (P < 0.005), and cortisol from 251.0 ± 113 to 409.11 ± 239 pmol/liter (P < 0.02).
- PRA remained unchanged (0.35 ± 0.21 vs. 0.49 ± 0.38 ng/ml·h; NS).
- In univariate logistic regression, daytime diastolic BP, noradrenaline, and aldosterone were significantly related to the hypothyroid state (P < 0.02, P < 0.036, and P < 0.024, respectively). The paper also reports that BP increased into the hypertensive range in one third of patients when hypothyroidism was induced.
Methods
- Twelve normotensive patients (9 women, 3 men; mean age 50.7 ± 8.4 yr) with previous total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation for stage I differentiated thyroid cancer were studied in two phases: 6 wk after L-T4 withdrawal (hypothyroid phase 1) and 2 months after resumption of oral L-T4 replacement (phase 2).
- At both time points, 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring was performed with a SPACE-LABS 90207 device, and plasma free T3, free T4, TSH, PRA, aldosterone, cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline were assayed.
- Continuous variables were compared by paired t test or Wilcoxon test; relationships were assessed by linear regression and univariate logistic regression, with P < 0.05 considered significant.
Limitations
- Stated: the authors caution that results from this unique short-term human model may not transfer directly to long-term thyroid function abnormalities.
- Stated: changes in catecholamines, aldosterone, and cortisol are difficult to interpret per se because hypothyroidism may alter intravascular volume, hormone clearance, salt sensitivity, vasopressin, and atrial natriuretic peptide.
- Evident from the text: the sample is small (n = 12) and highly selected (normotensive patients with treated thyroid cancer and no other disease or pharmacological treatment), and the study lacks a separate control group, so generalizability is limited.

“To our knowledge, there are no studies carried out on normotensive subjects showing the effect of a short-term variation in thyroid hormone levels on both blood pressure and some of its important regulatory mechanisms represented by renin, sympathetic, and adrenal systems.”

The short-term hypothyroid state induced by 6-week L-T4 withdrawal is a valid model for studying the physiological role of thyroid hormone in BP homeostasis.
“We addressed this issue by the use of a unique clinical model encompassing a short-term variation from a state of acute hypothyroidism to one of restoration of normal thyroid function in normotensive patients.”

Several abstract hormone values differ from Table 1
MinorThe abstract and Table 1 give different values for the hypothyroid-state adrenaline mean (228.4 versus 228.6), hypothyroid-state PRA SD (0.37 versus 0.38), and treated-state aldosterone mean (156.9 versus 156.8). These differences are not attributable to rounding the tabulated values to the abstract's printed precision.
“adrenaline (228.4 ؎ 160 vs. 111.3؎ 46.1 pmol/ liter; P < 0.05) also increased.PRA remained unchanged (0.49 ؎ 0.37 vs. 0.35 ؎ 0.21 ng/ml⅐h; P ؍ NS), whereas both aldosterone (310.3 ؎ 151 vs. 156.9؎ 67.5 pmol/liter; P < 0.005)”
“| Adrenaline (pmol/liter) | 228.6 Ϯ 159.6 | 111.3 Ϯ 46.1 | 0.05 | | PRA (ng/ml⅐h) | 0.49 Ϯ 0.38 | 0.35 Ϯ 0.21 | NS | | Aldosterone (pmol/liter) | 310.3 Ϯ 151.3 | 156.8 Ϯ 67.4 | Ͻ0.005 |”
Noradrenaline SD differs between abstract and Table 1
MinorThe abstract gives the treated-state noradrenaline SD as 962 pmol/liter, whereas Table 1 gives 977 pmol/liter for the same mean.
“noradrenaline (2954 ؎ 1578 vs. 1574 ؎ 962 pmol/liter;”
“| Noradrenaline (pmol/liter) | 2954 Ϯ 1578 | 1574 Ϯ 977 | 0.001 |”
Daytime DBP logistic-regression P value differs from Table 3
MinorThe abstract reports P < 0.02 for daytime diastolic blood pressure, but Table 3 gives P = 0.0287. Both values indicate significance at 0.05, but the tabulated value does not meet the abstract's stated threshold.
“daytime arterial diastolic values, noradrenaline and aldosterone were found to be significantly related to the hypothyroid state (P < 0.02, P < 0.036, and P < 0.024, respectively).”
“| Daytime DBP | 0.152 | 1.0160 -1.3341 | 0.0287 | 0.2894 |”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
