Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to detection of various thyroid diseases in the early stages and their impact on the metabolic state of the body through the estimation of the Midkine by using ELISA method. Methadology: The current study was conducted on 45 patients with thyroid disease was attending in endocrine and diabetic center in the Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital and Al-Hakim General Hospital in AL-Najaf Province, and 45 healthy person, the samples collected during the period from September 2021 to 2`January. Results: The result of hormonal markers shows high significant with p-value = <0.001 in the level of T3 was higher in Hypothyroidism compared to Hyperthyroidism and the control group. On the other hand, this result was high significant with p-value = <0.001 in the level of T4 was higher in Hypothyroidism compared to Hyperthyroidism and the control group. In addition, this result was high significant with p-value = <0.001 in the level of TSH was higher in Hyperthyroidism compared to Hypothyroidism and the control group. The results of biochemical marker of Midkine was higher in Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism (499.6 ± 120.2 and 489.1 ± 108.1 respectively) compared to and the control group (372.9 ± 92.5).
