Abstract
Background: Volumetric evaluation of thyroid gland volume (TGV) is one of the criteria determining the iodine statusof a population. TGV is the product of 3 dimension of each lobe: Anterio-posterior (AP) x medio-lateral (ML) x and cranio-caudal (CC) x correction factor.Objectives: To determine the effect of serum TSH on thyroid dimensions of each lobe and to measure the amount of effectof per unit increase in serum TSH on thyroid dimensions of each lobe in euthyroids.Study Design: It was a cross-sectional study.Setting: The study was conducted at Ziauddin University Hospital, Clifton, Karachi.Methodology: Healthy participants aged 21 years and above were included through convenient sampling. Serum Thyroidstimulating hormone was evaluated and ultrasound of thyroid gland TG of 192 euthyroid participants was performed.Spearman correlation and regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between TSH and TG dimensionsResult...
