title: [Lipids profile in a group of hypothyroid patients vs. treated hypothyroid patients].
abstract: Hypothyroidism, like obesity, is one of the pathological conditions most frequently associated to disorders of the lipid metabolism. Hypercholesterolemia is favored, due to the hormone deficit and to the decreased activity of the lipoprotein lipase.
  
  
  METHODS
  We observed the determination of the serum concentrations of TSH, of the total cholesterol level, of the triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and BMI as well.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We observed the predominance of the female hypothyroid patients, ages 40 through 60 and BMI > 30kg/m2. The presence of the heart condition in the studied group was the predominance of the cases of ischemic heart disease. The cholesterol levels varied depending on the TSH levels. There are multiple mechanisms of the dyslipemic syndrome, its intensity depending on the degree of the thyroid insufficiency, however, not influenced being by its cause. It can be considered an indicator of the disease evolution or of the efficiency of the substitution treatment strategy. The absence of the total normalization of the lipid metabolism, under the conditions of a correct treatment strategy, may raise suspicions regarding a possible associated primitive hyperlipidemia, who need typical therapy.
