Abstract

Thyroid hormone profile was determined by ELISA method in 593 clinically suspected patients of thyroiddisorders attending Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur during 1988- 1995. 402 (67.7%) Patientsproved euthyroid, 110 (18.6%) hyperthyroid and 81 (13.7%)) hypothyroid. The results revealed measurablethyrometabolic disturbances and the measurement of total serum thyroxine using thyrotrophic hormone(TSH) were the most useful in vitro tests for assessing thyroid status.
