Question

Which is not a symptom of hypothyroidism?

• A. Lethargy
• B. Mental retardation
• C. Oedema
• D. Rise in blood urea

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rise in blood urea

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones. Some symptoms include fatigue (lethargy), cold sensitivity, oedema, constipation, dry skin, and unexplained weight gain. It can also cause mental retardation in the infant.

Urea is made in the liver and passed out of your body in the urine. If kidneys are not able to remove urea from the blood normally, blood urea level increases.

So, the correct option is D.
