Abstract

Background: Inflammation in subclinical Hypothyroidism (SCH) imposes a significant cardiovascular risk. The aim of the present study was to assess the elevated levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in SCH patients.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 50 cases of SCH and 50 cases of euthyroid were selected. The complete history of the subjects were taken and demographic , biochemical parameters like age, BMI, thyroid profiles, lipid profiles and hsCRP were estimated.
Results: The mean TSH levels were significantly (p<0> Conclusion: Thus, increased level of hs-CRP in SCH highlights the inflammatory status and thus associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases in SCH.
