Evaluation of the effect of using different doses of levothyroxine on TSH, T3 and T4 in hypothyriod patients
Keywords:
hypothyroidism, tetra iodothyronine, tri iodothyronin, thyroid stimulating hormoneAbstract
The current study included the collection of ninety serum samples to evaluate the effect of using different doses of levothyroxine drug on some biochemical parameters in patients with hypothyroidism. Samples were collected from external laboratories in Baghdad, for the period between 15/9/2021to1/10/2022. Sixty samples were taken for patients with hypothyroidism, as the group of patients (G1) whichsubdivided into two subgroups, 26 of them were taking levothyroxine dose of 200 µg/day(G2), and 34 of them were taking levothyroxine dose of 100 µg/day(G3), and 30 samples represented the control group, the ages of patients and control ranged between (40-60) years old. The level of TSH hormone, T3 and T4 hormones were estimated in the serum of patients with hypothyroidism and healthy people as a control group. The results showed a significant (P≤0.05) increase in the level of TSH in serum of people with hypothyroidism compared to the control group.
