Background:
In addition to controlling adult metabolism, thyroid hormones are necessary for appropriate growth. The second most prevalent endocrine condition is dysfunction of the thyroid gland after diabetes.
Objectives:
The study’s objective was to identify thyroid hormones such as ferritin, anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and anti-thyroid globulin (TG) in hypothyroidism-affected women since these markers may indicate the health of the thyroid gland.
Materials and Methods:
In this case-control research, which comprised 70 hypothyroid women and 30 controls who appeared to be in good health, the participants’ ages varied from 20 to over 40. People who attended the laboratory at Imam Al-Sadiq Hospital and Merjan General Hospital were selected as hypothyroid patients. The serum concentrations of ferritin, anti-TPO, anti-TG, total triiodothyronine (T3), and total thyroxin (T4), thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) were measured in 100 samples, and mini-vidas were employed for T3, T4, TSH measurement. While electrofluorescence immunoassay was used to measure the anti-TG and anti-TPO levels and ferritin concentration.
Results:
Serum TSH 22.73 nm/L levels were substantially higher (
Conclusion:
It might be better to detect hypothyroid persons who are potentially at a risk of developing thyroid issues in women who have lower ferritin levels and higher anti-TPO and anti-TG levels.
