Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract:This study was aimed to investigate the association between thyroid disorders and lipid profile in 122 patients (100 females and 22 males ) referred to the Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes at Al –kindy Hospital in Baghdad . For comparison, 60 healthy individuals (31 females and 29 males), who had no thyroid disorders, were also included in the study. Blood samples were collected from both patients and the healthy individuals. Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) technique through using VitekImmuno Diagnostic Assay System (VIDAS) was applied to measure levels of the thyroid hormones (tri-iodothyronine T3, tetra-iodothyroxine T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). From the results obtained, patients were classified into three groups: 40 were considered as belonging to the controlled * group ( 26 females and 14 males), 57 to the hypothyroidism group (52 females and 5 males) and 25 belonged to hyperthyroidism group ( 22 females and 3 males). Females constituted the vast majority of both healthy and thyroid disorders patients with percentages of (51.7%) and (81.96%), respectively.The results also declared that there was a correlation between increasing the cholesterol level and decreasing level of high density lipoprotein (HDL). Keywords: Thyroid, Hormones, Lipid Profile, Abnormalities.
