Abstract

This study aimed to know the prevalence of thyroidectomy and Estimation of hematological and thyroid biomarkers in iraqi patients. One hundred individuals who had thyroidectomies in Iraq between January 2021 and February 2023 are the subjects of this prospective research. This research set out to determine if thyroidectomy is appropriate for individuals with benign or malignant thyroid conditions, and if so, what risks are associated with the procedure. Blood samples were drawn from all patients, serum was separated for hematological and thyroid function estimation. By Using commercial kits from the linear business, serum quantities of T3, T4, and TSH were determined by radioimmunoassay. CBC was done by using auto-analyzer. The current results showed that subtotal thyroidectomy was the higher percentages than another types of thyroidectomy. There was a significant difference between studied groups in thyroid biomarkers. The mean red blood cell (RBC) counts in the hypothyroid group were considerably lower than in the euthyroid group (P<0.05). The results show that compared to the euthyroid group, hypothyroid women had considerably lower levels of many RBC-related indices, including hematocrit and haemoglobin. When comparing the groups under study, overall leukocyte counts did not vary significantly.

In conclusion, Subtotal thyroidectomy was the higher percentages than another types of thyroidectomy.
