Results: Majority of the patients belonged to the age group of 20-40 years (47.8%). Male: female ratio was 3.69. 71.3% of the patients were euthyroid. 19.8% patients were hypothyroid of which 13.2% were clinically euthyroid, 3.7% suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism and 2.9% had primary hypothyroidism. 9.4% were hyperthyroid of which 5.1% had central hyperthyroidism, 2.9% suffered from primary hyperthyroidism, and 0.7% each had subclinical hyperthyroidism and T3 thyrotoxicosis.
