Additionally, there are some clinical signals that give an idea about the diagnosis of hypothyroidism especially fatigue and constipation.
Hypothyroidism is concerned with and is a very common secondary cause of dyslipidemia and thyrotropin level measures are indicated.
Hyperlipidemia may show better results to thyroid stimulating hormone.
Hence option D is the right answer.
