Abstract

Thyroid disorders are one of the important and common endocrine problems encountered in clinical and occupational practice in all age groups more frequently in women and in adult population. Amongst all the functional thyroid disorders, hypothyroidism is far more common than hyperthyroidism. Recognition of this condition at an early stage can delay the progression to overt disease. Appropriate use of biochemical test, i.e., thyroid function test can delineate practically all thyroid disorders. In this respect, a comprehensive study in patients with thyroid disorders has been carried out at Medical Services, Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC), Hyderabad during January 2014 to December 2014. A total no of 136 cases were studied and evaluated with regard to their aetiology, clinical presentation, biochemical parameters and associated other chronic diseases. This study has attempted to explore the prevalence of various thyroid disorders, (i.e., 1.1%) and the profile of affected population. In our study among the surveyed (registered) population, 57 (41%) cases predominantly were found to be having goitre, rest were suffering from nongoitruous thyroid disorder.  It was also noticed that a good no of patients (12) with subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with Diabetes mellitus and 12 had Dyslipidaemia. Patients with thyroid nodule needs to be subjected to sensitive TSH assays, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and high resolution ultrasonography (HRUSG) to rule out malignant conditions. It is necessary to have high index of suspicion in diagnosing and managing the patients with various thyroid disorders. Early and effective therapy reduces symptoms, improves the quality of life and thus reduces the morbidity as well as mortality.  Keywords: Asymptomatic, Thyroid disorders, Symptoms, Function, Dyslipidaemia  Cite this Article Vijay Rao J.
