Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Hypothyroidism accounts for about 2% of all cases of hyperlipidemia and is second only to diabetes mellitus as a cause of secondary hyperlipidemia. The present study was planned to determine the level of lipid profile in patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism.Patients were screened for T3, T4 and TSH. Based on these values those who were having hypothyroidism were selected. Blood samples of these patients were drawn aseptically after 12 hours of overnight fasting for lipid profile. Out of total 260 cases 83wer subclinical hypothyroid (SCH) and 177 were hypothyroid. Mean ± SD values of Total cholesterol was 213.37 ± 24.58 (for SCH) and 209.46 ± 27.43 (for Hypothyroidism) , Triglycerides was 201.41 ± 21.38 (for SCH) and 197.67 ± 29.87 (for Hypothyroidsm) and LDL –C was 143.21 ± 26.81 (for SCH) and 134.56 ± 25.77 (for Hypothyroidism). Our study demonstrated that dyslipidemia is associated with hypothyroidism.
