dc.description.abstractAim: The present study aimed to investigate the iron store status in patients with hypothyroidism due Hashimoto thyroiditis and subclinical hypothyroidism. Material and Method: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who were followed up at our university hospital with the diagnosis of hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto thyroiditis and subclinical hypothyroidism between 2010-2021. Results: Nineteen patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis, 17 with subclinical hypothyroidism, and 20 controls were enrolled in this study. There was no significant difference in mean age among three groups (138.3±46.8 months, 116.0±68.1 months, 151.8±50.3 months in groups of Hashimoto thyroiditis, subclinical hypothyroidism and controls respectively p=0.169) . There was a significant female preponderance in HT group (68.5%, p=0.001). There was no significant difference for mean ferritin levels among groups (p=0.440). There was no correlation between TSH and ferritin level (r=-0.132, p=0.410) but we found a positive correlation between ferritin and free T4 level (r=0.340, p=0.030). Conclusion: We found a positive relationship between ferritin and thyroxine hormone that made us think that iron supplementation may be effective in the treatment of hypothyroidism. But this hypothesis warrants further prospective and experimental studies.
