Prevalence of thyroid diseases is high and reaches up to 15% in specific populations. Current health care system does not have capacity enough to provide all patients with thyroid disorder especial management by endocrinologist. It is prerequisite, general practitioner would achieve appropriate education and experience to be eligible to diagnose common thyroid disorder, to distinguish it from transient non-thyroid abnormalities in thyroid functional tests, to assess adequately the severity of the functional thyroid disease and malignancy risk of thyroid nodule, and then refer the patient to endocrinologist or introduce a treatment and continue with management himself.

Keywords: hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, thyroid nodule, thyroid stimulating hormone
