[...]the features associated with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism could involve all systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS After receiving permission from the ethics committee, eighty patients with hypothyroidism and eighty age and sex-matched normal subjects were taken from the Medicine Outpatient Department, hospital staff, and patient bystanders at Government Medical College, Kozhikode after getting their informed consent between July 2017 and June 2018.
