Thyroid disorders – A random analysis of dysfunction and associations
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The problem of thyroid dysfunction is known since 19th century. Long back the only assessment tool for thyroid function was clinical diagnosis, Basal Metabolic Rate, protein bound iodine assay and now the dramatic advantage in detection of thyroid dysfunction, even the subclinical abnormality with sensitive and specific third generation (functional sensitivity of 0.01 – 0.02 MIu/L) and the newer fourth generation (functional sensitivity of 0.001 – 0.002 MIu/L) have come up. The present study includes 100 female patients who attended the General Medicine Department at Shri Sathya Sai Medical College, Kanchipuram District for a 1 year period. This study is undertaken to analyse the spectrum of thyroid disorders prevalent in this area, to establish a casual association of lipid abnormality in cases of thyroid dysfunction especially in hypo thyroids to assess the risk of obesity in thyroid dysfunction and to assess the extent of cardiovascular risk factors in hypothyroid patients. In the present study, the association of thyroid status with obesity and lipid profile has been studied. Body Mass Index, serum TSH, T3, T4 and serum lipid profile were performed for 100 patients and data analysed and tabulated. We infer that overtly hypothyroid cases have an atherogenic lipid profile and are at definite cardio vascular risk.
