The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thyroid dysfunction on serum lipid profile in Sudanese population. Blood samples were collected from 60subjects (51 women – 9men) in the age average from (27 – 58) the blood was analyzed for the level of FT3, FT4, TSH by the Roche Elecsys 2010 Soba University Hospital. Patient with thyroid dysfunction were categorized into hypothyroid and hyperthyroid with increased and decreased level of TSH respectively Lipid profile of Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were measured and compared between normal and patient with thyroid dysfunction. In patient Hypothyroid the result shows elevated in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL Cholesterol, and VLDL and significantly decreased in HDL Cholesterol. Hyperthyroid patient the result shows low HDL Cholesterol with no significant changes in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and LDL Cholesterol. Thyroid dysfunction should be taken into account when evaluating and treating dyslipidimic patient.
