Abstract
Blood TSH levels over the upper limit of the standard range combined with blood T3 and T4 concentrations within reference ranges is known as hypothyroidism. A lab diagnosis of subclinical thyroid illness is made. Few or no clear-cut clinical indicators or symptoms of thyroid dysfunction are present in patients with subclinical illness. Higher levels of some cardiovascular risk factors have been linked to it. Numerous investigations have discovered that persons with hypothyroidism have greater levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol than euthyroid subjects, despite some contradictory findings. It is commonly known that dyslipidemia and hypothyroidism are related.
