Abstract
Being a third world country, iron deciency is very common in general population and prevalence of hypothyroidism has also increased tremendously over the past few years. Therefore, this study was planned to estimate the level of serum iron in postmenopausal females with and without hypothyroidism. In this study, 150 postmenopausal females without hypothyroidism and 150 cases of hypothyroidism were evaluated. They were compared for serum iron. The mean age was not statistically different between two groups (p=0.587). Hypothyroid postmenopausal females showed a highly signicant (p<0.0001) relationship in serum iron levels when results were compared with normal postmenopausal females without hypothyroidism
