Abstract

Thyroid function disorders have an increased incidence in hypertensive patients and in elderly population. The association of hypertension and ageing with hypothyroidism is more pronounced. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of thyroid function disorders in elderly hypertensive patients. One hundred seventhy consecutive patients who were more than 60 years of age were included in the study. Twenty patients (% 11,76)had subclinical hypothyroidism, 13 patients (% 7,6)had clinical hypothyroidism, 5 patients had subclinical hyperthyroidism (% 2,94) and 4 patients had clinical hyperthyroidism(% 2,35). Of the 170 elderly hypertensive patients % 24,7 had thyroid function disorders. Because the incidence of subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism is increased in elderly hypertensive patients, all these patients should be screened for thyroid hormone levels.

Özet

Hipertansif hastalarda ve yaşlı popülasyonda tiroid fonksiyon bozukluklarına artmış sıklıkta rastlanmaktadır. Hem hipertansif hastalarda hem de yaşlı popülasyonda özellikle hipotiroidi sıklığında artış vardır. Çalışmamızın amacı, yaşlı hipertansif hastalardaki tiroid fonksiyon bozukluklarının sıklığını araştırmaktı. Hipertansiyon polikliniğimizden takip edilen 60 yaş üstü ardjşık 170 hasta (116 kadın, 54 erkek) incelendi. Yirmi hastada subklinik hipotiroidi (% 11,76), 13 hastada klinik hipotiroidi (% 7,6), 5 hastada subklinik hipertiroidi (% 2,94), 4 hastada ise klinik hipertiroidi (% 2,35) olmak üzere hastaların % 24,7'sinde tiroid fonksiyon bozukluğu saptandı. Sonuç olarak yaşlı hipertansiflerde özellikle subklinik ve klinik hipotiroidi sıklığı artmış olarak saptandığından, özellikle bu hasta grubunda tiroid fonksiyonlarının rutin olarak değerlendirilmeli ve uygun tedavi yapılmalıdır.
