Overview
There are no specific physical examination findings associated with euthyroid sick syndrome. The physical examination findings in each patient depends upon the underlying cause of euthyroid sick syndrome such as sepsis, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, chronic renal failure and cirrhosis.
