Background: Hypothyroidism is a common ailment affecting people globally due to deficiency of thyroid hormones along with their slow metabolism. It is associated with dyslipidemia and inflammation. The hs-CRP (high sensitivity- C-Reactive Protein) is a significant inflammatory marker. A vitamin D deficiency is witnessed in autoimmune diseases and metabolic syndromes. Low vitamin D levels, inflammation, and dyslipidemia were proved to have a connection with autoimmune thyroid diseases. Objectives: Our study aims to estimate the relationship between hs-CRP and lipid profile in vitamin D supplemented hypothyroid patients in comparison to controls and also to compare the abovementioned parameters in without vitamin D supplemented hypothyroid cases.
