    Abstract

    the present study was conducted to study thyroid hormone level (FT3, FT4, and TSH) in the liver cirrhosis patient and also to find out the relation of thyroid hormone level and severity of cirrhosis of the liver. Material and methods: A observational cross sectional study was carried out on the patient admitted with chronic liver decease at Dr. BSA hospital New Delhi during October 2019 to march 2021 among 150 liver cirrhosis patients. Thyroid functional test and child pugh score was recorded. Results: Child pugh score A was found in 12% patients, Child pugh score B was found in 37.4% patients and Child pugh score C was found in 50.6% patients. Child Pugh grade A to C the prevalence of serum FT3 level decreased (p value<0.001). Child Pugh grade A to C the prevalence of serum FT4 level increased (p value<0.001). Child Pugh grade A to C the prevalence of serum TSH level increased (p value<0.001).
