A Study of Thyroid Function in Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus and Thyroid Disease are two common endocrinopathies seen in adult population of North Eastern region of India. Presence of thyroid dysfunction in Diabetic patients makes management of the disease more difficult. This is a hospital based study done to compare the prevalence and form of thyroid dysfunction in Diabetic patients and non-Diabetic controls. Thyroid Function (TSH, TT3, TT4, FT3, FT4) was studied in 100 cases of Diabetes Mellitus and 100 non-diabetic controls. There was significant difference in TSH levels in between Diabetics and Non-Diabetics (2.94±2.1mIU/Lvs2.18±1.5 mIU/L, p<0.05). TT4 and FT4 levels also showed significant difference in between the two groups,TT4(118.53±54.83nmol/L vs 95.5±26.12nmol/L, p=.0002), FT4 (10.42 ±22.91pmol/L, 14.54±5.28pmol/L, p<.0001). Thyroid dysfunction was found to be 43% in Diabetics as compared to 21 % in non-Diabetics. In Diabetics 35% were hypothyroid and 8% hyperthyroid. 37.29% of female diabetics were found to be hypothyroid as compared to 31.7% of male diabetics.
