7 [Review Article] Lipid Profile Deviation in Thyroid Disorders Chung-Yuan Chen 1, Chin-I Lin 2 Abstract Many hypothyroid patients have higher serum levels of lipid profile, i.e. total cholesterol and low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The primary mechanism of accumulation of LDL cholesterol in hypercholesterolemia in hypothyroidism is caused by reduced number of cell surface receptors for LDL or decreased catabolism of LDL. With Thyroxine (T4) supplement, the serum total cholesterol levels in patients with overt hypothyroidism shows a decrease distribution from 46 mg/dl to 131 mg/dl. With respect to serum high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations, higher, normative or lower levels have been reported among different studies. And it still remains uncertain whether patients with hypothyroidism are at a greater risk of developing coronary heart disease. The prevalence of hypothyroidism (including overt and subclinical hypothyroidism) in patients with hyperlipidemia ranges from 1.3% to 11.2%. It is therefore suggested that patients with hyperlipidemia should be screened on their hypothyroidism before they are administered with a specific lipid-lowering medication. If hypothyroidism is present, the patient should be treated with T4 for three to four months. If the serum lipid concentrations are not then normal, specific lipid-lowering therapy may be considered. Patients with hyperthyroidism tend to be reported changes in lipid metabolism generally opposite to those for hypothyroidism.
