LIPID PROFILE IN OBESE HYPOTHYROID WOMEN RECEIVING THYROXINE – A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 16
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluated serum lipids in obese hypothyroid women receiving L-thyroxine hormone. METHODS A total of 55 obese hypothyroid women receiving levothyroxine treatment, between 20-55 years were included. Blood samples were assessed for thyroid function markers T3, T4, TSH, and serum lipids total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) and Low density lipoprotein (LDL). RESULTS TSH level was significantly increased and T3, T4 concentrations were significantly decreased in clinical hypothyroid patients as compared with euthyroids. Lipid parameters such as TC, TG and LDL were significantly higher in hypothyroid patients. None of the thyroid markers correlated with lipid parameters significantly. CONCLUSION Lipid parameters such as TC, TG and LDL were significantly higher in hypothyroid patients. None of the thyroid function markers correlated significantly with lipid parameters.
