ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the uric acid levels of hypothyroid individuals in order to potentially prevent and cure issues resulting from hyperuricemia.

Study Design: A Cross Sectional Descriptive Study

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Gulab Devi Hospital, Lahore from 05 Jan 2021 to 05 January 2022.

Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study in which random sampling technique was used. Clotted blood samples (3cc each) of 100 diagnosed hypothyroid patients were collected randomly and processed at Pathology lab of Gulab Devi Educational Complex.

Results: Of the 100 people who received a hypothyroidism diagnosis, 93 (93%) were found to be female and 7 (7%) to be male. The average age of the participants was 26.01 ± 5.21, and the standard deviation showed how variable this mean was. After measurements of uric acid concentrations, an average value of 4.2930 ± 1.82415 was obtained. Interestingly, 16 people had increased uric acid levels and 84 people had levels within the usual range. Of the latter, two were men and fourteen women. Interestingly, there was no statistically significant link found in this investigation between blood uric acid levels and thyroid hormones.

Conclusion: The present investigation revealed a modest correlation between hyperuricemia and hypothyroidism. Interestingly, there was no significant relationship seen between blood uric acid levels and thyroid hormones T3, T4, and TSH. The nature of this association is still up for debate, which emphasizes the need for further thorough studies to come to a definitive conclusion.
