The personal data was collected in a predesigned proforma which included name, age, sex, provisional diagnosis and tests required.T3, T4 and TSH was estimated by Microplate ELISA method. Results: Overall majority of the patients were females i.e. 82.05%. The majority of the female patients were from the age group of 26 to 50 yrs. i.e. 43.59 %.It was observed that in female T4 level was found to be comparatively lower in age group of >50 yrs. While T3 level was also comparatively lower in age group <25 and serum cholesterol level was found to be relatively higher in age group 26 to 50. However, in male hypothyroid patients T4, T3 level were found to be comparatively lower in age group 26 to 50 and serum cholesterol level was found relatively higher in age group >50.
