Abstract

Background: Thyroid disorder is found to be most commonly occurring endocrine disorder in females. Thyroid hormones have an imperative position in metabolic methods in human body, and several physiological and pathological stimuli are known to influence thyroid metabolism. The increased incidence of hypovitaminosis D was diagnosed in population with hypothyroidism. Objective: To check the relation of Vitamin D in adult female patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Method: We recruited 60 patients and divided these patients into two groups, Group-1- Hypothyroidism patients (n=30) and Group-2- Control patients (n=30). Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), total Triiodothyronine (T3), total Thyroxine (T4), and Vitamin D levels were estimated by automated method in Abbott ARCHITECT ci8200 machine. Results: In the present study we found patients with hypothyroidism 73.3% (n=22) has low level of Vitamin D while 26.6% (n=8) of population have normal level of Vitamin D. We could not find significant association between Vitamin D and hypothyroidism (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study concluded that hypothyroidism has no significant role in lowering the levels of Vitamin D but we also emphasize the fact that Vitamin D should be done as routine investigation in healthy as well as hypothyroidism patients as its value was also less in control subjects.
