Abstract
The thyroid is largest, superficial, most vascular and the earliest glands to develop. Hypothyroidism results from failure to maintain adequate level of thyroid hormone by thyroid gland because of some primary or secondary reasons, that is consistent with health. despite of the common occurrence of hypothyroidism and search of numerous thyroid function tests, hypothyroidism frequently remains undiagnosed. Hypothyroidism is difficult to diagnose in early stage. In such early cases it can be easily missed, thyroid function tests do help. The most important point is to keep high degree of suspicion for early diagnosis of thyroid disorders. The incidence of thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism is greater in women, and it has very bad effect on lipid profile, adding to the risk factor of atherosclerosis in post- menopausal women. This study is to demonstrate correlation between thyroid disorders and dyslipidemia and we also studied dermatological manifestations in postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia and thyroid disorder.
