Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Hypothyroidism is a common disorder. It may emerge or worsen other comorbidities. This study was conducted to know demographic, clinical, comorbidity and lipid profile of hypothyroid patients in Rajasthan in order to understand current scenario and to know desired improvement in strategy. Method: This cross sectional study was conducted for the duration of six months. One hundred and three hypothyroid patients participated in the study. Thirteen patients were drop outs and ninety participated actively. These patients were evaluated for different parameters like age, sex, presence of clinical symptoms, comorbidities and lipid profile. Results: Mean age of study population was 49 years with male female ratio 1:4. Subclinical hypothyroidism was present in 42.2% patients. Comorbidities were found in 65.5% patients. Hypertension was the most common comorbidity followed by diabetes, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease and stroke. Dyslipidemia was present in 71.1% patients. Most common deranged parameter was LDL followed by triglyceride, total cholesterol and HDL. Conclusion: High percentage (42.2%) of subclinical hypothyroidism shows need of screening programme for evaluation of thyroid disorder in general population. High percentage of deranged lipid profile (71.1%) and presence of comorbidities (65.5%) warrant the need of evaluation of every hypothyroid patient to limit morbidity and mortality.
