Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is primarily done to assess tubal patency, but it can detect cervical, uterine, and peritoneal diseases. As such, it remains a valuable tool in the evaluation of female infertility in our environment, where the high prevalence of infertility has been largely attributed to tubo-peritoneal factors. It was a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study. A total of 215 HSG reports of women with infertility at the Department of Radiology, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, Nigeria, were reviewed retrospectively. Data on sociodemographic profile, reproductive profile, infertility profile, and HSG reports were obtained from the case records and archives of the Department of Radiology on a proforma. The obtained data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Most of the clients were within the age range of 35 to 44 years. Secondary infertility accounted for 58.6% of cases of infertility. Abnormal HSG was reported in 70.2% of cases. Tuboperitoneal pathology was the most common abnormality, detected in 46% of cases. Uterine and cervical pathologies were seen in 38.1 and 15.3% of cases, respectively. A total of 116 (53.9%) of the cases had a combination of abnormalities. Abnormal HSG was significantly associated with secondary infertility and a history of induced abortion (p=0.006 and ˂0.001, respectively). Tuboperitoneal pathologies are still a common cause of infertility in our environment. HSG remains a valid tool for female infertility workup.","PeriodicalId":472533,"journal":{"name":"Annals of African medical research","volume":"1 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141265795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thyroid function tests are critical for diagnosing, screening, and prognosticating thyroidal and non-thyroidal diseases, and their accurate interpretation is required for effective and accurate patient management. A retrospective analysis of thyroid function tests - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (fT4), and Free Triiodothyronine (fT3) - was carried out at a Nigerian tertiary hospital between January 2017 and January 2024. The tests were conducted using an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay system and interpreted following standard protocols. A preponderance of female patients was investigated for thyroid diseases, with a male-female ratio of 2.2:1. The majority (80.8%) of the analyzed requests showed a euthyroid pattern; primary hyperthyroidism was the most common biochemical pattern of thyroid dysfunction observed, accounting for 10.8% of all the analyzed requests. Secondary hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were generally rare. Occasional cases (0.3%) of T3 toxicosis were also observed. Goiters remain a common presentation of thyroid diseases in our environment. Primary hyperthyroidism and primary hypothyroidism are the most common forms of thyroid dysfunction observed.","PeriodicalId":472533,"journal":{"name":"Annals of African medical research","volume":"33 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141270461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
