Dr. Vibhu Narain Khanna

Abstract :

 Background: Hypothyroidism is a common metabolic disorder in the general population, especially in older women; Hypothyroidism leads to many effects on the cardiovascular system including hypertension as well as dyslipidemia which are major causes of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Objective: Our survey was to study comparison of dyslipidemia between overt and subclinical hypothyroidism. Methods: The present study was carried out in the department of General Medicine at L N medical college and research centre Bhopal, (M.P) with 380 patients (221 Subclinical hypothyroidism and 159 Overt hypothyroidism patients). Thyroid Profile– was done with CLIA (chemiluminescence immunoassay) system. Lipid Profile was done with semiautomated analyser. Results: The results showed a statistically non significant difference in mean Total cholesterol, LDL and TG of subclinical and overt hypothyroidism cases. Conclusion: No direct correlation was found between TSH levels and degree of dyslipidemia. No significant difference was seen in lipid parameters in subclinical and overt hypothyroidism subgroups
