Overview
The history of euthyroid sick syndrome is not well documented.
Historical Perspective
First scientific descriptions of transient alterations of thyroid hormone metabolism in the context of non-specific influences date back to the 1960s, when several authors described altered half life of thyroid hormones in athletic training and adaptation to cold[1][2][3]. In the beginning of the 1970s nearly simultaneously German and US researchers described low T3 syndrome in starvation[4][5], and shortly thereafter reduced T3 concentrations were observed in critical illness requiring intensive care, in tumors and in uremia[6][7][8].
Modern theories regard the euthyroid sick syndrome as a form of adaptive allostatic response that ensures survival through metabolic adjustment[9], although allostatic load may confer pathology on its own[10].
