Metabolic Syndrome Associated with Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Vit D Insufficiency - A Case Report and Discussion
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Medicine and Health · pp. 80–88 · Published 12 Nov 2019
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with hypothyroidism, was reported in literature. Like-wise association between hypothyroidism and Vit. D deficiency was reported. Hypothyroidism, Vit. D deficiency in DM2 patients was also reported, in the literature. But the occurrence of MetS, hypothyroidism and Vit. D deficiency, together occurring in a case was unreported. The author presented such triple association in a male patient aged 54 years. While Met S itself was a risk factor for CVD (cardiovascular vascular disease) and so were independently, the hypothyroidism and hypovitaminosis D, the triple association would have cumulative risk for CVD. So, it would be profitable to screen all MetS cases with hypothyroidism, for Vit. D deficiency also, in view of the possible cumulative risk. Literature was reviewed as to the relationship of MetS to hypothyroidism and Vit D deficiency, as well as the changing diagnostic criteria of MetS and it’s pathogenesis.
