Relationship between Iron Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Profile in Patients with Hyperthyroidism | Chapter 16 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overworked. It is usually accompanied by erythropoiesis changes. The exact mechanism is still unknown.

The following are the study objectives: The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between thyroid diseases and haematological abnormalities.

Conclusion: Variations in thyroid status result in changes in serum ferritin, as well as other hematologic markers. Thyroid hormones affect ferritin levels, which has a direct effect on iron metabolism. Although elevated free iron levels are hazardous to the organism and serve as a measure of oxidative stress, hyperferritinemia protects against the increased oxidative stress associated with hyperthyroidism.
