MYOPATHY INDUCED BY ATORVASTATIN IN HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Thyroid diseases and some drugs may cause non-inflammatory myopathy. In this article, a female patient with myopathy induced by atorvastatin given for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia which is associated with undiagnosed hypothyroidism was presented. Myopathy was clinically improved after cessation of atorvastatin in this patient with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis. High serum levels of the muscle enzymes returned to normal under thyroxin therapy. It is concluded that hypothyroidism increases the risk of myopathy due to atorvastatin. This case highlights the need lor careful clinical and biochemical assessment of patients with hypercholesterolemia for causes of hypercholesterolemia before initiation of therapy.
