RELATIONSHIP OF GLUCOSE TO THYROID DISORDER IN CHILDREN

Abstract

This study aimed to identification in children admitted in the Emergency Children’s Hospital, the relationship of glucose to thyroid disorder. This study was carried-out on 60 children that divided into 3 groups that divided into 1^st group consists of 20 patients of normal thyroid function and glucose level and considered as a control group, 2^nd group that consists of  20 patients that suffering from hyperthyroidism and the 3^rd group that, consists of 20 patients that suffering from hypothyrodism. Our study concluded that, in T1DM patients with normal thyroid function, thyroid hormone levels are closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism, so it is particularly important to detect thyroid feature in T1DM patients, which is useful for early detection and correction of bizarre thyroid function, and it might also similarly enhance the ailment of glucose and lipid metabolism and forestall the complications of T1DM. also, The results also, cleared that, in children with hyprthyrodism have a higher level of blood glucose than the normal control patients while, in hypothyrodism the blood glucose level decreased than the normal control group and the increasing level of glucose in hyperthyroidism is associated with decreasing level of Vitamin D and increasing level of serum lipids total cholesterol, serum triglycerides LDL-C, VLDL-C and increasing the Athrogenic index.
