Background: We know that lipid profile is disturbed in both subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and metabolic syndrome (MetSy). In this study we observed lipid profile in newly diagnosed patients with SH and MetSy.Materials and methods: We chose 70 patients (all females) with newly discovered SH and 20 healthy controls, mean age 51.1 (±6.79). The parameters that we determined are: TSH, FT4, anti-TPO-At, triglycerides, whole, LDL and HDL chole...

Background: Recently many authors are questioning the existing of elements of metabolic syndrome (MetSy) in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). In this cross sectional study we observed glycemia, as an element of MetSy, in newly diagnosed patients with SH.Materials and methods: Seventy females participated in study. Among them there were 50 patients with SH, mean age 58.3 (±8.53), and 20 controls without SH, mean age 51.1 (±6.79). We...

Introduction: A number of studies reported that almost every fifth patient with thalassemia hav e diabetes. Various factors could contribute to inadequate retrograde glycemic control in thalassemia patients co-existed with diabetes. According to published data, HbA1C seems to be an insufficient marker of the quality of diabetes control in thalassemia patients.Case report: We present a male 67 years old type 2 diabetes patient with disease history for 15 ...

Introduction: A link between diabetes and coronary heart disease is well-known. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of actual and retroactive diabetes regulation parameters (admission glycaemia and HbA1C value) on duration of hospital stay and clinical outcome of T2DM patients suffered from NSTEMI/STEMI.Material and methods: Cross sectional study involved 103 examinees with past history of T2DM actually hospitalised in CCU due to acute myoc...

Background: Hypothyrosis is an atherosclerosis-promoted condition. On the other hand, nitric oxide (NO) has antiatherogenic cardioprotective properties. By some Doppler ultrasound parameters (intima-media complex thickness (IMCT) and systolic velocity (SV)), one can point out the level of atherosclerosis presence in cardiovascular system out of histopathology.We primarily determine NO levels in studied population and then examine their influence on menti...

Introduction: CAH is among the most common inherited metabolic disturbances, caused by Ar mutations of genes that encode enzymes involved in the adrenal steroids synthesis. Male hypogonadism and CKD can complicate the course of CAH. Additionally, HD can influence the CAH management by unpredictable effects of ultrafiltration on the levels of administered drugs. The aim of our study is to demonstrate the influence of HD on LH/T levels of eugonadal male as well hypogonadal male ...

Quality of life (QoL) of hypothyroid patients can be estimated by use of numerous instruments (GHQ12 and TQ20). By rank transformation of obtained answers, calculated QoL score further determined groups, named as no distress (0–15 patients.), minor distress (16–24 patients.) and major distress (≥25 patients.). Rank transformation can be performed through Likert 0–3 as well modified 0–4 model. To groups with distress, levo-thyroxine (L-T...
