Amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism presenting as cardiorenal syndrome.
Here we present the case of a 90-year-old man with chronic heart and renal failure who was admitted with what appeared to be a simple heart failure exacerbation. However, further investigation led to the diagnosis of profound amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism as the cause of his acute decompensation, highlighting the importance of a broad differential diagnosis and thorough investigation.
