Abstract

Aims: to determine prevalance of subclinical hypothyroidism in asymptomatic subjects reffered to our hospital, and to establish whether there is any difference between andropometric measurements and lipid parameters of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and those of healty subjects. Material and Method: We included into the study a total of 255 subjects aged with 15-78 years and who applied due to various reasons to internal diseases out-patient clinic of Medical Faculty Hospital, Dicle University. Body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI),sistolic and diastolic blood presure, pulse rate, waist and hip circumferences of the patients were determined. Fasting serum glucose, total- cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and thyroid hormone levels (T4, T3, FT4, FT3, TSH) were measured. Anti- thyroglobulin and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies were determined by immune fluorescence method. As a result, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was identified, and the parameters of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were compared with healthy subjects by Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Results: The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism among asymptomatic subjects was found to be 5.1 %. TSH level was found to be significiantly high in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (p < 0.0001). Total T4 and free T4 levels of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were found to be significantly lower with respect to healthy control (p < 0.003 and p < 0.03 respectively). In addition, anti-TPO antibody positivity was significantly higher in patients (p < 0.007). Howewer, anthropometric measurements, lipid parameters, blood pressure, and pulse rate of patients were not found to be different "from control group.Conclusions: 1-The prevalence of subclinical hypotyroidism was-found to be % 5.1 2-A significant relationship was observed between subclinical hypotyrodism and anti-TPO antibody positivity. This shows the importance of autoimmunity in the development of subclinical hypotyroidism. 3- Physical, metabolic and biochemical values in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism are not different from normal subjects. Therefore, the administration of thyroid hormones is not considered to be necessary.

Özet

Amaç: Bölgemizdeki subklinik hipotiroidili hastaların prevalansını saptamak ve subklinik hipotiroidi saptanan hastaların antropometrik ölçümleri, lipid parametreleri ile sağlıklı populasyonun aynı parametreleri arasında fark olup olmadığını ortaya koymak. Materyal Metod: Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hasta¬nesi genel dahiliye polikliniğine çeşitli sebeplerle başvuran yaşları 15 ile 78 arasında değişen 255 kişi çalışma kapsamına alındı. Hastaların boy, ağırlık,-BMI, tansiyon arteryel, nabız atım sayısı, bel ve kalça çevreleri saptandı. Açlık serum glikoz, total kolesterol, trigliserid, LDL-kolesterol, HDL-kolesterol, VLDL- kolesterol ve tiroid hormon düzeyleri (T4, T3, FT4, FT3, TSH) ölçüldü. Anti-tiroglobulin ve anti-tiroid peroksidaz antikorlarının pozitifliği immun fluorescans yöntemi ile belirlendi. Bu veriler sonucunda subklinik hipotiroidi prevalansı saptandı ayrıca subklinik hipotiroidi tanısı alan ve almayan hastaların parametereleri Mann-Whitney U testi ve Ki-kare testi ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma yapılan gruptaki subklinik hipotiroidi prevalansı % 5,1 olarak bulundu. TSH düzeyi subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p < 0.0001). Subklinik hipotiroidili hastaların total T4 ve serbest T4 düzeyleri kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak düşük saptandı (sırası ile p < 0.003, p < 0.03). Subklinik hipotiroidili hastalarda anti-TPO antikor pozitifliği anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p < 0.007). Subklinik hipotiroidi saptanan hastaların antropometrik ölçümleri, lipid parametreleri, kan basıncı ve nabız atım sayısı konrol grubundan istatistiksel olarak farklı bulunmadı. Sonuç olarak: 1-Hastaneye başvuran bireylerdeki Subklinik hipotiroidizm prevalansı % 5,1 civarındadır. 2-Subklinik, hipotiroidizm ile anti-TPO antikor pozitifliği arasında anlamlı bir, ilişki görülmüştür. Bu da subklinik hipotiroidizm gelişiminde otoimmunitenin önemini göstermektedir. 3-Subklinik.hipotiroidili hastalarda fiziksel, metapolik ve biyokimyasal değerler, normal kişilerden farklı değildir. Bu sebeple tiroid hormonu verilmesi zorunlu görülmemektedir.
