Abstract:

Thyroid hormones indirectly influence the body’s electrolyte balance by regulating metabolism and kidney function. Thyroid hormones influence the basal metabolic rate, which impacts energy expenditure and nutrient absorption, including electrolytes (physiological parameters). The thyroid gland also influences the kidneys, which play a crucial role in regulating fluid and electrolyte (salt) balance in the body. The thyroid gland secretes hormones that affect kidney function, which plays a key role in regulating fluid and electrolyte (salt) balance in the body. Disrupted kidney function resulting from an imbalance in thyroid hormones may lead to an imbalance in salts. Thyroid hormones play a role in regulating sodium and potassium levels in the body. The thyroid gland also affects calcium regulation in the body, through its influence on parathyroid hormone. In this study, 80 persons (60 patients and20 healthy control) male and female and aged (20-50) years who had undergone total thyroidectomy and were suffering from hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were divided into four groups. The fourth group was a healthy control group. Results were obtained showing a decrease in the physiological parameters of electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, which led to the appearance of symptoms indicating weakness of bone tissue.
