Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrinal abnormalities found in India and is coexisted with various metabolic disorders and mineral imbalances. Calcium deficiency is one of them, occurring due to uncorrected hypothyroidism for prolonged period. Present study was conducted with the aim to find relationship between thyroid profile and calcium level, among the rural population suffering from overt hypothyroidism of Bankura district, West Bengal. Subsequently, it was found that 67.9% participants suffering from overt hypothyroidism were found to have subnormal calcium level. Male preponderance (57.9% of all overt hypothyroid cases) was noted in hypocalcemia among hypothyroid persons. Serum calcium level was found to be in high significant negative correlation with TSH level (correlation coefficient= -0.626; Significance <0.001) and in high significant positive correlation with T4 level (correlation coefficient= 0.594; Significance <0.001). Low calcium might depress the activity of thyroid gland and produce hypothyroidism.
