Thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are two of the most common endocrine disorders in general population. Autoimmune thyroid diseases are common autoimmune disorders that affect about 5% to 20% of women in childbearing age. In this study, we evaluate the comorbidity rate of euthyroid Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT) in PCOS patients and possible influence of thyroid autoantibodies on clinical and laboratory findings of PCOS. This study includes 285 PCOS pat...

Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key regulator of mineral metabolism, the homeostasis of calcium, phospate, vitamin D and bone turnover. Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease characterized by hypocalceamia with inappropriately low plasma levels of PTH. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is the measure of platelet size. Increased MPV has been associated with cardiovascular risk.Objective: In our preliminary study, we aim to show that untreated hypoparath...

Aim: The lipid accumulation product (LAP) index which is associated with abnormal glucose regulation can be easily calculated. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more than one risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and abdominal lipoidosis. In this study, we intend the evaluation of LAP index in women with PCOS.Method: This study included 35 women patients with PCOS (mean age 22.4...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Clinical and biochemical characteristics are similar to metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance in patients with metabolic syndrome, is associated with serum uric acid levels. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels and clinical and laboratory in PCOS patients.Materials and Method: PCOS ...
