Study of Serum Ferritin in Thyroid disorders
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Endocrine disorders are the most common endocrinopathies. Thyroid hormone levels can affect the serum Ferritin level (Iron storage Protein) especially in females. 25 patients of clinically established patients of thyroid abnormality attending Out Patient Departments, MDM hospital Jodhpur (Rajasthan) were compared with 25 healthy subjects of either sex in Department of Biochemistry, Dr S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur for thyroid function tests and serum ferritin. Serum T3, Serum T4, Serum TSH and Serum Ferritin were measured by ELISA techniques. Serum T3, Serum T4 and Serum TSH of hypothyroid patients showed a highly significant (p<0.001) relationship with healthy control subjects. Serum ferritin showed a significant (p<0.05) relationship for hypothyroid patients while a highly significant relationship (p<0.001) for hyperthyroids was observed. Estimation of serum ferritin is simple and sensitive and it can be used to prevent chronic complications of thyroid disorders.
