Comparing the Concentrations of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone and Thyroid Hormone in Females with Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism in Iraq

Abstract

The endocrine system of the body includes the thyroid gland. It is the largest organ in the human body that performs endocrine functions. The thyroid gland is crucial for healthy body development during childhood and adolescence. It takes in iodine from the diet and releases iodinecontaining thyroid hormones. Methods: Between October 2021 and February 2022, 25 females with hyperthyroidism and 25 females with hypothyroidism of similar age underwent standard medical examinations at the Endocrinology and Diabetes Clinic of AL-Sadder Medical City in the Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf governorate of Iraq.
Results: When compare to patients with hypothyroidism, the findings showed a considerable rise in T3 and T4 levels in the sera of patients with hyperthyroidism. As opposed to patients with hypothyroidism, patients with hyperthyroidism had a highly significant drop in TSH in their sera, according to the TSH data (P< 0.001).
Conclusion: When compare to patients with hypothyroidism, the level of T3 and T4 in the sera of patients with hyperthyroidism significantly increased, according to the measurements of T3, T4, and TSH for the two study groups. When compare to patients with hypothyroidism, the TSH readings for patients with hyperthyroidism showed a highly significant drop in TSH in their sera (P< 0.001).
