A 2018 European Thyroid Association Survey on the Use of Selenium Supplementation in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Abstract

A minority of responding ETA members stated that the available evidence warrants the use of Se in HT, but a majority recommended it to some extent, especially to patients not yet receiving LT4. This is questionable, and selenium is not recommended to patients with HT according to current ETA guidelines. Ongoing and future trials may lead to the reversal of current medical practice.
