To Study the Level of Serum Sodium in Hypothyroid Patients

OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the levels of Serum Sodium in hypothyroid patients. Methodology: 60 patients were selected from the endocrine OPD of PGIMS Rohtak. Their TSH levels were evaluated by two site sandwiched immunoassay using chemiluminometric technology and their serum Sodium levels were evaluated by electrolyte analyser using ion selective electrode method. These 60 patients were divided in 2 groups according to TSH values Result: The mean TSH level was 9.25 [micro]IU/ml and their mean Sodium level is 127 mmol/dl in 39 patients. Their results were tested by a T test which showed no significance at p=0.34. The rest 21 patients had a mean TSH 135.10 [micro]IU/ml and their mean Serum Sodium-level was 114 mmol/dl and these results showed a significance of p
