| Abstract:
|
A cross-sectional study was carried out to Study the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among thyroid patients by determination of thyroid hormones (T3, T4 and TSH) and 25-OH vitamin D in sera of 30 healthy individuals as a control group, and of 60 patients with thyroid disease (30 samples with hyperthyroidism and 30 with hypothyroidism) collected from external medical laboratories and Kirkuk general hospital.
The results showed there was a significant decrease in serum 25-OH vitamin D level for women with hyper- and hypothyroidism as compared with the control group, and there was 90% of patients with hyperthyroidism have 25-vitamin D > 20 ng/ml, and 93% for patients with hypothyroidism have 25-vitamin D > 20 ng/ml.So we can conclude that vitamin D is very correlated with thyroid hormone secretion.
