Vivek Deswal, B. K Arora

Abstract :

 Earlier various studies have been done to study the correlation of thyroid disorder with gallstone disease. Hypothyroidism have been shown to cause gallbladder disease by delayed emptying of biliary tract and by inhibited pro-relaxing effect of thyroxine on sphincter of oddi contractibility.

AIM: To evaluate thyroid profile in gallstone disease patients

PATIENT AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was done in the Deptt. Of Sugery in PGIMS Rohtak comprising of 200 cases and 50 controls. Cases included the population with gallstone disease in the age group of 15-60 years and control included the healthy family members of the cases without gallstone disease in the age group of 15-60 years. A detailed history, clinical examination and laboratory blood test for T3, T4 and TSH were done.

RESULTS: Out 200 cases 161 (80.5%) were females and 39 (19.5%) were males, with 41% were in the age group of 50-60 years. there were 14% hypothyroid, 84.5% euthyroid and 1.5% hyperthyroid in cases compared to 4% hypothyroid and 96% euthyroid in controls. The peak age group of cases with hypothyroidism was in the age group of 15-60 years.

CONCLUSION: It was observed that there was more prevalence of hypothyroidism in female patients with gallstone disease in age group of 15-60 years.
