Thyroid Hormone Variability in Liver Cirrhosis: Its Impact on Disease Severity and Clinical Management—A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

Liver diseases are increasingly recognized as significant public health concerns in India, prompting investigations into novel approaches for assessing disease severity and prognosis. Recognizing the potential utility of thyroid hormone levels in these assessments, we conducted an observational cross-sectional study at our tertiary care hospital. Our study included 89 patients aged 12 years and above, admitted to medicine wards with ultrasound-diagnosed liver cirrhosis, excluding pregnant women and those on thyroid-altering medications.
