Abstract
Background: Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism; and thyroid dysfunctions can result in lipid abnormalities which increase the risk of endothelial dysfunction, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
 Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 patients with suspicion of thyroid disorders were taken as cases. 50 patients with normal thyroid profile and no history of other chronic diseases were taken as control group.
 Results: The serum TC, TG and LDL levels in hypothyroid individuals (both overt and subclinical) were significantly higher than euthyroid subjects but the levels were comparable between hyperthyroid and euthyroid group.
 Conclusion: We conclude that, dyslipidemias are associated with thyroid disorders, so biochemical screening for thyroid dysfunction in all dyslipidemic patients. Therefore, patients presenting with dyslipidemia are recommended for investigation to explore thyroid dysfunction.
 Keywords: Total cholesterol, Triglycerides and LDL.
