This study was designed to evaluate thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones Concentrations. Setting of the present study was performed in Teaching Hospital in Erbil city-Iraq from 1 st of October 2017 to 1 st of March 2018. A total of 433 female were participated for blood tests to estimate thyroid function. Only 323 (74.6%) cases showed overall variation in hormonal level and 110 (25.4%) cases were normal. According to educational statue most of cases were with Bachelor level (67%). Generally 291(90%) of cases were married. 52% of the cases were 41 to 45 age group and 14.2 % cases was in both 26 to 30 and 31-35 age groups. About 59 (18.3%) cases had high TSH level only 13 (4%) case is considered as hypothyroidism when examined by consultation and collaboration with senior physician, while 54 (16.7%) cases had low TSH level but 41(12.7%) cases were considered hyperthyroidism. The result shows that 4 (1.7%) case have high T 3 level and 52 (16.09%) case have low T 3 level. While 26(8.04%) case have high T 4 level and 61 (18.9%) case have low T 4 level. In conclusion, we believe that thyroid diseases are more prevalent in women in Erbil and hyperthyroidism patient was more than hypothyroidism.
Background:Prophetic immune marker glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) autoantibody is a distinctive diagnosis between Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Individuals have diagnose as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in adults (LADA) has such autoantibody, which those patients incorrectly diagnosed as T2DM. Objective: To determines frequency of anti-GAD IgG antibody marker in LADA patients, were misdiagnosed as T2DM in relevance with a Cytomegalovirus infectin antibodies and Hemoglobine A1c levels. Patients and Methods: Ninety five patients with T2DM chosen, arranged in two groups with and without cardio vascular diseases (CVD) and a garoup of 49 individuals as healthy control matched age and gender. Samples took from subjects that attended to Hawler Cardiac Center and Diabetic Centers at Erbil city in March 2014. Sera subjected to Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Glycohemoglobin assay for HbA1c. Results: GAD islet cell autoantibody was seropositive in 3.05% diabetics and 2.04% controls. There were high titers of HbA1c with low C-peptide in diabetics. A weak negative correlation was found with significant difference between anti-GAD IgG and age (r = -0.282, P < 0.017 correspondingly ). Conclusion: Appropriate diagnosis for LADA could help to preserve the residual Beta-cell function.
