EVALUATION OF SERUM CREATINE KINASE LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 35
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid disorders are common endocrine disorders. Thyroid function tests which are usually done are measurement of blood levels of hormones Triiodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which are affected by various nonspecific conditions. Therefore, the present study is done to evaluate the role of additional biochemical parameter Creatine Kinase (CK) in diagnosing hypothyroidism. Thyroid function and Creatine Kinase activity was measured in 70 patients with clinically suspected cases of hypothyroidism. Patients with hypothyroidism will have decreased T3, T4 levels and increased levels of TSH. However, whether there is any correlation of Creatine Kinase with hypothyroidism is not well established. In our study, we found that in hypothyroid patients there is significant increase in CK levels. Measurement of CK levels is an additional biochemical parameter to diagnose hypothyroidism.
