Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to find out the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among diabetic patients in a rural teaching hospital. Materials and Methods: Two hundred twenty (220 cases) known diabetic patients who attended the Department of Medicine, included in this study. The study was done in the Department of Biochemistry, MNR Medical College and Hospital, Sangareddy, Telangana State, India. Results: Both hypothyroidism (60 cases) and hyperthyroidism (07 cases) significantly seen in known DM patients. Conclusion: Hypothyroidism was the most common kind of thyroid disorder encountered in our study Hypothyroidism is the most prevalent thyroid dysfunction found in DM patients. The progression of hypothyroidism may increase the risk of Cardiovascular disease in DM patients through inter-relationships with vascular endothelial dysfunction, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
