{"title":"Study of Thyroid Function Tests in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome","authors":"Balvir Singh, Pawan Kumar Vishwakarma, Abhinav Gupta, Ram Pratap Singh, Chandra Prakash, Dr Pawan Kumar, Vishwakarma Junior Resident","doi":"10.59793/ijcp.v24i4.965","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59793/ijcp.v24i4.965","url":null,"abstract":"The metabolic syndrome is a constellation of clinical and metabolic abnormalitiesincluding abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and impaired fasting glucose orimpaired glucose tolerance. Metabolic syndrome and thyroid dysfunction are independentrisk factors for cardiovascular disease. Aims and objectives: To study the prevalence,symptomatology of thyroid dysfunction and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) findingsof thyroid in the patients having metabolic syndrome. Material and methods: The study wascarried out in 60 cases of metabolic syndrome (according to NCEP ATP III criteria) selectedfrom the medicine outdoor clinic (including diabetic clinics, thyroid clinics) and medicineindoor wards in Post Graduate Department of Medicine, SN Medical College and Hospital,Agra. Diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction was made by history, examination and serum FT4and TSH. Result and observations: Out of 60 patients of metabolic syndrome, 30 patients(50%) were euthyroid, 13 patients (21.66%) had subclinical hypothyroid and 12 patients (20%)had overt hypothyroid. Five patients (8.33%) of metabolic syndrome had hyperthyroidism.Truncal obesity was most prevalent (80.0%) component of metabolic syndrome, followedby hypertriglyceridemia (70%). Diabetes mellitus was equally prevalent in both males aswell as females and was present in about 40.0% patients and 53% of patients with metabolicsyndrome were hypertensive. Conclusion: This study shows that 50% metabolic syndromepatients had thyroid dysfunction. About 21.66% had subclinical hypothyroidism, 20% hadovert hypothyroidism and 8.33% were having hyperthyroidism. The most common symptomin metabolic syndrome patients with hypothyroidism was lethargy/sleepiness followed bydry and coarse skin. The most common symptom in hyperthyroid patients was nervousness(100%) followed by sweating, heat intolerance and palpitation in 80% of the patients.","PeriodicalId":506647,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal Of Clinical Practice","volume":"48 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141008972","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}

All of them can be influenced by thefunctioning of a 20 g endocrine organ, the thyroid gland. Aims and objectives: To studythe proposed association between metabolic syndrome and thyroid dysfunction. Materialand methods: Hundred subjects aged more than 18 years, willing to participate in the studyand fulfilling criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment PanelIII (NCEP-ATP III) for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome were included. Detailed clinicalexamination and laboratory investigations of all subjects were done. Risk factors wereidentified and analyzed by comparing the subjects with and without thyroid dysfunction.Results: Eighty-one out of 100 subjects with metabolic syndrome belonged to the age groupbetween 41 and 70 years. Females comprised 60% of the total patient population with sedentarylifestyle as the major risk factor, whereas males comprising rest of the 40% had addictivebehaviors as major risk factors. Observation of individual parameters under NCEP-ATP IIIshowed that 57 patients fulfilled all 5 criteria, 34 patients fulfilled 4 and 9 patients fulfilled3 criteria. Obesity and dyslipidemia were common among female subjects, whereas impairedglucose tolerance and hypertension were common among males. Thyroid dysfunction inthe form of hypothyroidism was present in 30 subjects with females (23 patients) being thestatistically significant population (p < 0.0001). Hypothyroidism was of subclinical type in21 of these 30 subjects. None had hyperthyroidism. Left ventricular ejection fraction (mean± SD) was lowered to 42.67 ± 6.53 from 49.07 ± 7.48 in presence of thyroid dysfunction inthese subjects with metabolic syndrome (p < 0.0001).
