Abstract

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and HYPOTHYROIDISM are the two most common diseases in community and their co-morbidity were reported by some of studies and based on a hypothesis there is a relationship between MS and HYPOTHYROIDISM. So the aim of this study was to determine the PREVALENCE rate of HYPOTHYROIDISM among patients with MS.Methods: In this cross sectional study, all patients with MS who referred to MS clinic of Alzahra hospital, Isfahan, Iran, were examined for thyroid hormones and PREVALENCE of HYPOTHYROIDISM was determined.Findings: In this study 726 patients with MS were studied and 2 patients suffered from hyper-thyroidism and were excluded. Of 724 patients with MS, 586 (70.9%) were female and 138 (19.1%) were male. The number of patients with HYPOTHYROIDISM were 50 and PREVALENCE of the HYPOTHYROIDISM was 6.9%.Conclusion: PREVALENCE of HYPOTHYROIDISM in patients with MS is higher than the general population (6.9% VS 2%). Thus, all patients with MS must be studied for thyroid disorders. Also more study must be done to determine of the relation between MS and HYPOTHYROIDISM.
