Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim & Objectives: The present study was done to evaluate the thyroid function in surgical patients. The objectives were to correlate with the disease state to outcome and to correlate the functional state with effect of iodination of salt. Material & Methods: This clinical study included 25 patients who were examined and investigated for the presence of thyroid disorder. The dietary habits of salt intake was also recorded. Results: 92% patients were Euthyroid and 8 % were hypothyroid while none of them were hyperthyroid. Even in this small group the two patients who were found to be hypothyroid were females .Commonest presentation in present study of thyroid is hypothyroidism.In present study 15 out of 25 patients were found to take non iodinized salt in their meals and all of them were clinically as well as biochemically euthyroid. While in rest 10 patients who were using iodinized salt in their meals, 2 of them were found to have clinically as well as biochemically hypothyroid. Conclusion: Based on the findings we hereby propose that people should be educated to add salt after cooking the food, to gain maximum benefit from salt fortification.
