Dr. G. Pramodini, Dr. G. Rajeswari

Abstract :

Hypothyroidism includes a oad range of spectrum from asymptomatic stage to multi–system failure. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in India is about 11%. Hypothyroidism may have an adverse effect on the serum lipid profile. This study aims to assess the association of hypothyroidism with lipid abnormalities that might be helpful for clinical management of hypothyroid patients with dyslipidaemia. In this study thyroid function tests (T3, T4 &TSH), lipid profile (Total cholesterol,Triglycerides,LDL,HDL and VLDL) and fasting blood sugar were measured in 100 subjects, of age groups 30–60 years and of both sexes. Of these 50 were healthy individuals as controls, 50 were hypothyroid patients with decreased T3, T4 values. Results showed that the total cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL and LDL are elevated and HDL is decreased in patients when compared to controls. In conclusion, dyslipidaemias are associated with Hypothyroidism, so biochemical screening for thyroid dysfunction is of paramount importance in all dyslipidemic patients.
