Abstract :

 Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the levels of Sr. Vit D3 and Sr. Calcium among patients with Subclinical hypothyroidism and to compare it with healthy controls.Study Design: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted on patients attending the Out Patient Department of Medicine of SGRRIM&HS for a period of 6 months from Sept 2015 to Feb 2016. A total no. of 151 subjects (100 case and 51 control cases) in the age group 30–60 yrs were selected randomly for the study.Exclusion criteria was age less than 30 yrs and more than 60 yrs, previous history of DM, TB, hypertension, CV diseases etc.Methodology: All the 151 subjects both 100 cases (75 F and 25 M) and 51 controls (35 Female and 16 Male) in the age group 30–60 yrs were analysed for Sr T3, Sr T4, Sr TSH, Sr Ca and Sr Vit D.Result: The Serum Calcium and Serum Vit D in subclinical hypothyroid women were found to be lower (9.03 ± 0.49 ± 0.12 mg/dl) and (16.25 ± 5.61 ± 0.78) respectively than the normal females (9.67 ± 0.43 ± 0.12 mg/ dl) and (23.41 ± 3.99 ± 1.7 units/l) respectively.Similarly the Serum Calcium and Serum Vit D values in males suffering from SCH were found to be lower (9.14 ± 0.46 ± 0.33 mg/dl) and (17.93 ± 3.98 ± 0.13) respectively than normal males (9.53 ± 0.37 ± 0.09 mg/dl) (26.79 ± 4.49 ± 2.11) respectively
