Hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus (DM) are the two most common endocrine disorders, which are on simultaneous rise. Dyslipidemia is common metabolic abnormalities in hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus with marked increase in circulating low density lipoprotein (LDL-C). Several studies have demonstrated significant variations in dyslipidemia in Type II Diabetes Mellitus with Hypothyroidism. This study was carried out on patient attending in Katihar Medical College & Hospital. The entire subjects were categorised into three groups. The lipid profile of all the groups were estimated and compared with normal control groups without having any type of diabetic or thyroid complication. All the lipid profile parameters were significantly increased except HDL among the diabetics, hypothyroidism, and diabetics with hypothyroidism subjects. Increase was more in cholesterol and LDL values among subjects suffering from both diabetes and hypothyroidism. HDL levels were lowest among the diabetics and further decreased among the diabetic hypothyroids. Finally it appeared that both the endocrine disorders are equally responsible for the alteration in lipid profile & theirs cumulative effects further added fuel to the fire.
