A STUDY ON STATUS OF VITAMIN D3 LEVEL AMONG PATIENTS DIAGNOSED AS CASE OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN A MEDICAL COLLEGE, TRIPURA
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D3 receptors are present in different body tissues like myocardium, pancreas, thyroid gland etc. Since both Vitamin D3 and thyroid hormones act via steroid receptors, any alteration in the level of Vitamin D3 is likely to increase problems associated with hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A hospital based cross sectional study was done from September 2018-January 2019 at Department of General Medicine, Tripura Medical College & Dr BRAM Teaching Hospital, Hapania, Agartala, West Tripura, among 100 hypothyroidism patients. RESULTS Among the 100 patients with hypothyroidism, 35 patients were found to be vitamin D3 deficient, 39 patients were having insufficient vitamin D3 level and the rest had normal vitamin D3 levels. CONCLUSION In this study, deficiency of Vitamin D3 correlates with increase in levels of TSH. There is progressive decrease in level of Vitamin D3 from subclinical to overt hypothyroidism.
