==Differentiating Euthyroid sick syndrome from other Diseases==
==Differentiating Euthyroid sick syndrome from other Diseases==
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
== Differentiating different causes of hypothyroidism ==
*[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Various kinds of hypothyroidism can be differentiated from each other on the basis of history and symptoms and laboratory findings:<ref name="pmid19949140" /><ref name="pmid18177256" /><ref name="pmid18415684" />


*As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].

  • [Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
  • [Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Differentiating Euthyroid sick syndrome from other Diseases

Differentiating different causes of hypothyroidism

Various kinds of hypothyroidism can be differentiated from each other on the basis of history and symptoms and laboratory findings:[1][2][3]
