Popis:	Background: Thyroid disorders are known to cause metabolic disturbances. Dyslipidemia, one of the important modifiable cardiovascular risk factors is known in patients with overt hypothyroidism (OHT) and is also reported in sub clinical hypothyroidism (SHT). Aims: To evaluate dyslipidemia, lipid ratios and atherogenic index in patients with OHT and SHT in comparison with healthy controls and between the hypothyroid patients. Material and Methods: The study included 36 patients with OHT, 36 patients with SHT and 39 euthyroid controls. OHT was diagnosed with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level of >15 mU/L and thyroxine (T4)
