Dr. Vatturi Saumya

Abstract :

The study aims to estimate the thyroid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to identify any thyroid dysfunction so that early intervention in the management would delay the onset of the complications of type 2 Diabetes. 80 type 2 diabetes patients and 40 age and sex–matched controls were included in the study. The thyroid profile was estimated using electrochemiluminescent immunoassay in the Cobas e411 analyzer. HbA1c was estimated by particle enhanced immunoturbidometric method A statistically significant decrease in serum T3 and T4 levels was observed in cases when compared to the controls (P< 0.05).A statistically significant increase in HbA1c and serum TSH was observed in cases when compared to the controls (P < 0.05). The major thyroid dysfunction observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus is of hypothyroidism. With thyroxine therapy, the atherogenic potential can be decreased, which will delay the onset of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
