Abstract

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and inflammatory diseases are now a day's one of the most popular topics of research. Previous studies have shown
that the patients with SCH have increased levels of triglycerides and signs of low-grade inflammation (raised C-reactive protein levels). Disorder
might be a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and other inflammatory diseases. However, there is still some controversy concerning the
inflammatory impact of SCH. Treating patients with thyroid stimulating hormone values of <10 mIU/L is not compelling, except in pregnant women.
Fortifying the association between SCH and inflammation and a better understanding of research data may provide a more compelling argument for
future treatment.
Keywords: Thyroid stimulating hormone, C reactive protein, interleukin-6, inflammation
