Dyslipidemia, an illness marked by elevated triglyceride and cholesterol levels, is frequently seen in thyroid disease patients. The disruption of lipid metabolism caused by both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism might result in imbalances that raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. By examining dyslipidemia frequency in patients with thyroid disease, this study aims to highlight the critical link between lipid control and thyroid function. By clarifying this connection, the study hopes to promote early detection and individualized care plans to lessen the impact of these related illnesses. At the Dr. Ruth K.M. Pfau Civil Hospital in Karachi, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out over a six-month period in the department of medicine. To check for lipid abnormalities, blood samples from qualified individuals were examined. With a mean age of 54.18 ± 8.41 years, the research discovered that 43.5% of patients had dyslipidemia. Of the 191 patients, 41.4% were female and 58.6% were male. The results highlight the high frequency of dyslipidemia in thyroid disease patients and the importance of early identification and treatment to avoid possible cardiovascular problems.
