Abstract Thyroid diseases are a common metabolic diseases complex that affects several people worldwide. Thyroid hormone affect every single cell in the body through modulations of Oxygen consumption, Growth rate, Maturation and cell differentiation, Turnover of Vitamins, Hormones, Proteins, Fat, CHO. The clinical relationship between thyroid disorders and the hemostatic system was first defined in the beginning of the last century. Various acquired abnormalities of the coagulation-fibrinolytic system have been reported in patients with thyroid dysfunction. These abnormalities may range from subclinical laboratory abnormalities to clinically important hemostasis disorders. The aim of this study is Evaluation of new biomarkers as a predictor for thrombosis in patients with thyroid dysfunction. Patients and methods: This study is a case-control study which enrolled: 1. group A: twenty patients with increased thyroid functions (hyperthyroidism group). 2. group B: twenty patients with decreased thyroid functions (hypothyroidism group). 3. group C: twenty subjects with normal thyroid functions (Euthyroid group). After taking thorough medical history (Including age, Sex, Smoking, History of malignancy, Thromboembolic events or bleeding disorders, Drug intake including OCPS). And full clinical examination was done. Blood samples were collected for routine labs and measurement of CBC, PT, PTT, PC, TSH, FT4, D. DIMER and P. selectIN LEVEL. Data analysis performed using the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software version 22 in windows 7 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: There was no significant difference between study groups As regards CBC components, PT-INR, PTT and D-dimer level. The p-selectin level was higher in hyperthyroidism group than hypothyroidism group. Also, there was significance predictor to PTT and PLT count level in relation to p-selectin level. Conclusion, it can be concluded that there was no significant difference between study groups As regards CBC components, PT-INR, PTT and D-dimer level. Also p-selectin level was higher in hyperthyroidism group than hypothyroidism group. Key words: Thyroid diseases, thrombosis, hemostasis. |
