Accumulating evidence suggests that hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis dysfunction is relevant to the pathophysiology and clinical course of bipolar affective disorder. Hypothyroidism, either overt or more commonly subclinical, appears to the commonest abnormality found in bipolar disorder. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction is also likely to be greater among patients with rapid cyclin...

Resistance to thyroid hormone is an uncommon condition. We report the clinical and laboratory findings of a case with both resistance to thyroid hormone and, a reduced capacity to produce and respond to thyroid hormone. RTH is a disorder characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormones, state of non-suppressed pituitary TSH secretion and refractoriness to hormone action in peripheral tiss...

The thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating the metabolic rate of every cell in the body. The action of thyroid hormone is very important in many developmental processes such as body growth and central nervous system maturation. When the thyroid gland is malfunctioning, it can affect anysystem of the body including auditory system [1]. Thyroid disorder is a general term representing sever...

BACKGROUND Thyroid hormone is a key substance in normal homeostasis, having variable influence on cell metabolism on different organs. Very little is known about the prevalence of thyroid disorders from our region. AIM This study was conducted with the aim of finding prevalence of thyroid disorder and relation of thyroid hormone with renal function and cholesterol metabolism. SUBJECTS AND M...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Abnormalities in thyroid hormonal status is common in major psychiatric disorders. Although the relevance of thyroid dysfunction to bipolar disorder is well-recognized, yet the association between thyroid dysfunction and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders is under-emphasized. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the rates of abnormal thyroid hormonal status in ...

Thyroid disease is a very common endocrine disorder worldwide. As thyroid functioning directly affects most of our organisms,fast and accurate recognition of thyroid diseases are of great importance.Four types of thyroid diseases are of main interest:Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis,(autoimmune thyroiditis), and thyroid cancer. Out of various different diagnostic tools a...

Background: The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke. In recent studies, thyroid disorder (TD) is associated with cardiovascular disease due to the effect of its hormones on the functions of the heart and should thus be considered an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The concurrence of MetS in...

Thyroid disorder is a general term representing several different diseases involving thyroid hormones and the thyroid gland. Thyroid disorders are commonly separated into two major categories, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on whether serum thyroid hormone levels (T4 and T3) are increased or decreased, respectively. Thyroid disease generally may be sub-classified based on etiolog...
