Introduction: Previous cohort studies reported contradictory data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary heart disease (CHD). Regarding this, the present study was conducted to illuminate this relationship. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, 3,066 participants employed in a study conducted by Azizi et al. aged ≥ 20 years were subjected to thyro...

background thyroid dysfunction is the second most common endocrine disease in females of reproductive age. there are controversial data on the adverse effect of subclinical thyroid dysfunctions on adverse feto-maternal outcomes. objectives the current study aimed to identify the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy and to assess the effectiveness of treatment with levothyroxine on...

Advances in thyroid disorder diagnosis have created new thyroid disorder categories such as subclinical hyperthyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism. In the 1980s, immunometric assaying for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) emerged and became defined as the most cost-effective test in thyroid disorder screening. The second step in the screening of thyroid disorders is to determine free thyrox...

CONTEXT There are contradictory results on the effect of hypothyroidism on the changes in hemostasis. Inadequate population-based studies limited their clinical implications, mainly on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This paper reviews the studies on laboratory and population-based findings regarding hemostatic changes and risk of VTE in hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disorders...

background: pregnancy has a huge impact on the thyroid function in both healthy women and those that have thyroid dysfunction. the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women is relatively high. objective: the objective of this review was to increase awareness and to provide a review on adverse effect of thyroid dysfunction including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmun...

Widespread use of improved measurements for serum thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) has resulted in characterization of the syndromes of subclinical hypothyroidism, characterized by normal free T4 estimate and raised serum TSH, and subclinical hyperthyroidism, in which patients have normal serum free T4 estimate and decreased serum TSH. Therapy for these two disorders in ge...
