Hypothyroidism is an important metabolic disorder and is associated with many biochemical abnormalities.Thyroid hormones are involved in regulation of lipids and lipoprotein metabolism,therefore hypothyroidism induce significant change in lipid levels. A cross sectional study was done in our population to evaluate lipid profile status of hypothyroid patients compared to healthy euthyroid persons. The objective of our study was to see the effect of Hypothyroidism on Total Cholesterol,Triglycerides and LDL. Our study was conducted at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital Chromepet,Chennai from November 2015 to April 2016.Blood samples and data were collected from patients attending the hospital. A total of 100 cases were included in this study.100 cases with normal thyroid profile were taken as control.Serum FT3,FT4,TSH,Total cholesterol,LDL-C,HDL-C,and Triglycerides were estimated in these patients. Total cholesterol and LDL-C was significantly raised in Hypothyroidism thereby,indicating the need for monitoring of lipid levels in patients with Hypothyroidism. However,there was no significant association of lipid levels in control group.
