Abstract
Hyperthyroidism is commonly seen in primary care settings. However, the management of hyperthyroidism might be unclear to primary care doctors. Various guidelines have been published to assist clinicians in the management of thyroid disorders at various levels of care. The extensive coverage of these guidelines may not appeal to busy clinicians, and the guidelines do not focus on often resource-limited primary care settings. In this article, we aim to describe a practical guide for managing hyperthyroidism in primary care settings using an ABC approach.
