dc.description.abstractBackground: Alcoholic cirrhosis has worse prognosis than primary billiary cirrhosis and cirrhosis due to hepatitis. The risk of death due to all cause is increased 12-fold with cirrhosis. Alcoholic liver cirrhosis develops between 10-20% of individuals who drink heavily for a decade or more. Chronic hepatitis B is probably the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide. The aim and objective of thisstudy was tocompare the prevalence of hypothyroidism between cirrhotic patients andnormal healthy individuals.Methods: The present study constitutes of 50 patients with cirrhosis of liver who met our inclusion criteria. They were selected from the patients admitted in medical wards and gastroenterology ward of RNT medical college, Udaipur.Results: Majority of patients were of serum albumin level class III about 67%. Increased TSH level as compare to level of serum albumin in cirrhotic patients. When serum albumin level decreases then percent of TSH level increases. Majority of patientswere from serum bilirubin class III (71%). Majority were from serum bilirubin class III about 70%. Conclusions: All cirrhotic patients should undergo for evaluation of endocrinological evaluation as these patients are associated with development of hypothyroidism. After diagnosis the treatment of endocrinological disorder especially hypothyroidism may increase survival.en_US
