Abstract
Aim: The aim of this research study is to investigate the association and impact of thyroid disorders on haemostasis, specifically focusing on the clotting and bleeding tendencies in patients with thyroid function disorders.
Globally, thyroid gland disorders are a common cause of illness. Increased thyroid gland hormones can result in a variety of disorders, ranging in severity from minor symptoms to fatal diseases. Here, we go over how thyroid hormone can influence the hemostatic system and the danger of bleeding and venous thromboembolism that goes along with it. Hypothyroid people are more likely to experience bleeding issues, which may be important for patients undergoing invasive operations. Physicians should also be mindful of the probability of hyperthyroidism as risk factor for venous thromboembolism, particularly in instances with no apparent cause. To learn more about the relevance of these findings for general practice, clinical investigations are required.
There have been instances of both hypercoagulable and hypocoagulable conditions, which raises concerns about how subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) affects hemostasis. Therefore, the goal of our study is to examine the importance of clinical trials in this setting.
